Wish List Wednesday: Long Hair Envy

I've never been one to have crazy long hair. Once mine gets anywhere near that point I decide to treat it unkindly or chop it all off in a swift moment of sheer boredom. I chopped off my locks not too long ago and I tolerate it. I miss my long-ish hair. And pony-tails. And not having to do it every single day. But, I chopped it all off to give it a fighting chance because my hair was slightly damaged and I needed a fresh start. It's growing, ever so slowly, but growing still. Someday I would love to have long, healthy locks. We shall see.

A girl can dream right? 

Grow hair, grow. 

Wish List Wednesday: The Maxi Dress

Summer is here obviously in full force. I spend most of my days trying to dress for work in a way that a) Covers all of my tattoos :( b) Looks business casual and c) Keeps me cool once I leave the confines of my air conditioned work place. Those are a lot of situations to compete with. I'm either freezing at work or sweating like crazy on the drive home. 

My new obsession: Maxi Dresses and Skirts

You can dress them up with a blazer or sweater for work. Add some funky jewelry and you can't go wrong walking the halls of your place of work. Once you clock out, you can easily peel the sweater or blazer off and head to a BBQ on a back porch and drink a beer. It's a win win.

I'm on a hunt currently to all of the thrift stores around town for maxi skirts and dresses. I need them cheap because frankly we aren't made of money. The search continues! 

Wish List Wednesday: Outdoor Spaces

We have been homeowners for almost two years now. I've spent a lot of time decorating the inside of our home, but the outside really still needs some loving. Actually, it needs A LOT of loving. Every time we work on the yard I feel like we are only making a dent in everything that needs to be done. Before we bought the house it was a rental and was never shown any yard love. At all. Not even a little. Our sod is uneven (what sod is actually still there) and trees need trimmed. There's really no landscaping of any sort and the second I seem to make progress it all grows back to where it was before. This year, one of our goals is to show our yard some love. We'd like to at least get the front yard to a place where we no longer are the "bad, young hooligans who can't keep their yard nice" on the street. I want the outside to reflect the inside. Curated and cared for. 

It's no secret that I'm obsessed with Pinterest, as I'm sure many of you are as well. Here is some inspiration to brighten up you Wednesday morning. Now if only I wasn't stuck at work all and day and could go out and enjoy a space like one of these....

Wish List Wednesday (On Thursday. Oops!) : Accessories

I've come to the conclusion that a lady can never have too many accessories. I've had my ears pierced for years, but it wasn't until about a year ago that I actually started wearing earrings again. I'm obsessed. When I forget to put on earring, I feel like something is missing throughout my whole day. A wonderfully, sturdy, yet stylish bag also never hurt anyone. Here is my wish-list for the week: Accessories Edition. 

Truly Gritty and Gorgeous Bag by ModCloth 

Earthly Wooden Teardrop Earrings by Roots and Feathers 

Gold Chevron Earrings By Mooreaseal on Etsy 


Happy Thursday. My weekend actually begins right now. 

Wish List Wednesday: Home Edition

I am always thinking of new ways to spruce up our home. I'm ever so slowly beginning to work through each room in hope of getting rid of so many things. I desire a clean slate. Something new. Something fresh. Many of the knick knacks and decor I possess, I've had since my college days (which is further away than I realize. Almost four years! Holy cow!) I'm constantly falling asleep at night creating little decorating lists in my mind....a new set of sheets, a new shower curtain, could I paint that table? Etc, etc, etc. I love having a home that people can hang out at, play music in, and be a community in. Decorating and keeping a nice home is only a small piece of that picture. 

So, without further a-due...Wish-List Wednesday: Home Edition 

A vintage sheet set from Etsy.  This will go perfectly with a quilt I have for spring/summer. 

I've been crushing on this quilt for a long time. 

I love the pop of color on this shower curtain. It would make early mornings so much brighter. 

And just a few wishes for me....

These Tumbleweed Sunglasses are top notch. 

These Saltwater Sandals
