Here comes the sun little darling.....

This Saturday was the most amazing weather. The Mister and I took full advantage of it. I've been feeling a little gloomy lately and Matt suggested that he take pictures of me for my blog. What a sweetheart, he knows I love to play dress up. This shoot was taken in our backyard. We have many wild flowers that pop up every spring. They are so beautiful. This is what The Mister captured.

Spring is here and I can wait to experiment with more outfits. 

Please send in pictures of your favorite Spring outfit

XOXO

Another fine blog...... Cake Spy

Cake Spy

I was introduced to Cake Spy by one of my friends Trish Benford. I saw a little water color painting of her dog Gary with cupcakes in her home and just adored it. I thin got on to the website "Cake Spy" and feel in love with the creator Jessie Oleson. She is super talented and has managed to make a name for herself at such a young age. Checkout her awesome site for yourself.

Peek-A-Boo

All my friends can tell you that I'm obsessed with socks and shoes. I don't know why or how to explain it. It started a few years ago... I usually wear dresses and or skirts with wedges. Maybe it started because I'm too lazy to paint my toe nails, whatever the reason it's cute and I'm sticking with it. Here are some examples of how to wear them. Take a look.

This is nice because it's all neutral colors and the pants are rolled slightly into a cuff which lets you see just a glimpse of socks.

Again the neutral colors are all working together and they are not pulled all the way up, they are slouchy in the right places.

More of a bold baby doll look. It can be sexy and innocent at the same time.

Pretty in pink.

This look is my favorite.... love the shoes with or without socks.

Pretty and delicate.

I hope you enjoy socks and shoes as much as I do. Let me know what your thoughts are.

Sublime Stiching

Sublime Stiching

I've been obssessed with Embroidery for a good 3 years now. I first fell in love with Embroidery when I was at a baby shower for Vickie Howell and there I met Jenny Hart. She was embroidering a bib for soon to be Clover.... Vickie and Dave's daughter. I always thought embroidery was something was labor intensive and time comsuming, something that old ladies do. I later stumbled onto her beautiful website Sublime Stiching and ordered a La Petite starter kit and was on my way.

You can also order many chic patterns from her site.

Here are a few that I have purchased:

Forest Friends

Dutch - Russian

There are also some amazing artists that create there patterns.... such as Ryan Berkley

There's also a book of simple patterns that she has put out as well.

I have some samples that I have done....most of them are on the walls around the house.... take a gander

I hope this inspires you to go out on your own and start some stitching

Drop me a line and tell me what you think.

XOXO Taylor

Why I love Austin

Why I love Austin.....

One of my first memories of Austin is South Congress with all the food, lights and music;

The cackle of the grackle and did I mention the food and music? 

There is so much life in Austin. 

The best stores to find that "one of a kind" piece. The girls dress so differently here... so effortless and care free. 

A melting pot....

The quirky....

it's all so magical.

The places to go to grab some beer and listen to live music.

The vibe.

Authentic Margaritas.

a drop of lime.

and that completes a mi chilata.

fish tacos.

good food.

good times.

good places.

and the best people in the world.

That's what Austin is to me.

Thanks for stopping by.

Love Taylor   XOXOXO
