Style Sunday {16}

Jayma Mays. This beautiful redhead always rocks the most amazing accessories on Glee...I had trouble finding very many pics of her awesome necklaces and vintage brooches....but I want to copy her style--so cool!! All of these photos are from Last.fm. Enjoy!

She has those huge doe eyes--wow!! Thanks for reading. Hope you are having a beautiful Sunday--check back next week for one more feature on the style of Glee!!

Weekend Fun!!

(photo credit: me!)

 

I've been spending lots of time on my porch (when it isn't to hot and humid)....eating dinner, drinking tea, working on my art journal.....It is one of my favorite places in the whole world. I am on the hunt for new patio furniture...I hope to buy something by the end of summer that will be both comfortable and functional!

Hope you are having a beautiful weekend!!

 p.s. I always like it when people have their own photos on their blog...we heart it is cool, but original pictures are much more impressive, even when they are somewhat mundane in nature. 

Here is a stack of ties I am going to use for headbands soon!

I'm actually growing...

An herb garden!! I don't have a green thumb at all but I love to try new recipes and it is a lot more fun if there are fresh herbs readily available for me to use. I hope they don't get too crispy this summer--we'll see!

Fresh Mint

 Sage

 Cilantro

 Parsley

 Pineapple Sage

 Basil

 Dill

 English Thyme

 Lavender

 Yay! I am excited to have this little garden growing. Maybe next year I will get more adventurous and plant some real veggies...or some pretty roses.....We'll see!

Things I am loving right now....

This may not be the most interesting assortment of things....but I don't really care....My life is a bit boring at the moment---I haven't discovered any new movies or music to write about so I thought I would tell you about my favorite beauty and food finds this week.

I am obsessed with everything Mrs. Meyer's....especially the Basil scent....and the packaging! I just made a big online order for a bunch more good stuff! I have had my lavender soy candle burning, burning, burning since I bought it!

Avocados. I either made guacamole or are sliced avocados every week in May...and I keep buying them--delicious!

Crystal curls. This time of year I like to scrunch my hair and let it air dry rather than sit and sweat under the blow dryer. I just scrunch it up with some of this magic potion and I really love the texture it gives my long waves.....it is sort of like a jell, but better.

Brie cheese. Oh. My. Goodness. Brie, where have you been all my life. I am used to cheese platters with cheddar and swiss....nothing fancy....but I am slightly addicted to this French cheese from Sam's club--affordable, and delicious!

Cucumbers. Especially English Cucumbers---Oh so delicious. I have been replacing crackers and chips with cucumbers for my guacamole dip...I've been slicing up the cucumbers and placing a chunk of brie cheese on top--yummy yummy yummy!

Blue. I am wearing a blue shirt right now.....and I've been using the heck out of some pthalo blue paint! I recently finished this blue owl for a show I am having in June...(details coming soon!) I have never really been one to choose blue....but lately it just feels right. I've been using lots of blue...and wearing it too.

Bleh....I start teaching summer school today. I wish I could be sitting on my porch with a cup of tea enjoying a beautiful summer morning....but I have to work this summer.....all well....I am working with older students, aged 4th-6th grade...so I know it will be a lot of fun....

Photos for a Friend {Kanaan}

Such a gorgeous evening for a photo shoot. These are exactly the kind of pictures I want to take every time I take photos. I took these last week and the weather was perfect for a picnic and some 'fishing'. This is one of my favorite photo shoots ever!

 Picture is almost exactly the same....except now baby brother is in the corner fishing!

Style Sunday {15}

Dianna Agron. Wow, what a blond bombshell. She has amazing talent and she is incredibly beautiful. I love her on Glee and her outfits are sweet and sophisticated.....The cast of Glee....so stylish....All of these photos are from Last.fm. Enjoy!!

Happy Memorial Day weekend! Check back next week for more Glee style!!
