Hey, everyone! 

Sorry for my absence yesterday. This week has already become one of the busiest yet, and it's barely Tuesday! I'll go ahead and pay for refills of coffee in advance for the rest of the day.

I spent yesterday morning wrapping up a few projects for a client:

Working over at Jess LC:

And doing a mix of designs for clients, The Everygirl, and social media work when I got home. My computer caused a ruckus with some work I was doing which led me to starting over at one point--it's a good thing I love what I do :). 

Needless to say, it was a late night and I didn't wake up until 7:30 this morning, which is terribly late for me these days.  The extra sleep was much needed.

The rest of this week will include more of the same, plus a couple of really fun/big styling projects which I can't wait to share with you so soon! You're gonna flip.

Hope you all have a wonderful day :) If you're needing some extra assistance with your home, feel free to email me for a price quote! I'll be taking on new clients this week :)

Thank you so much for stopping in. lovelovelove.

This "life lately" post is VERY lately. As in today. I'm posting later than usual because it's been  a pretty hectic day around these parts. Lots of little projects keeping me busy, and I like it :). So many exciting things to look forward to. Isn't it fun to look back at your day in photos? The glory of instagram.

Excited to catch up with all of your blogs later tonight when it's time to hit the *relax* button. Woot.

Thanks for stopping in lovelies :) Have a great day. lovelovelove.

Thanks for sticking with me through this last week of me being a bad blogger! The break has certainly gotten the best of me. Lots of food, wine, daydreaming, friends, and family. I'm sad that it's coming to an end, but also excited to start a new quarter and keep moving forward with a great new year. I have a few aspirations scoped out for 2012 (mostly in accordance with my 25 before 25 list) which I'll update all of you on very soon. For now, I'm going to finish my glass of wine and hit the hay. All this wining and dining has worn me out ;).

 I hope you all had a beautiful holiday. Thanks so much for stopping by. lovelovelove.

1. My new copper vase from The Guild Shop ($12.00) and faux fur throw from Target ($23.00)

2. Lunch at The Black Labrador. I love all the ivy.
3. Red Velvet Cupcake from Sprinkles bakery in Houston

I'm back in the great state of Texas until Friday, when I will make a quick trip to Baltimore to see Trevor and his family, long lost friends, my sister, and the charm city I grew up in. Tonight I'm off to a holiday party at Chelsea Wine Bar with my lovely mother and wonderful cousin, Whitney. I can't wait to get a little gussied up, drink some vino, and have some girl talk.

Hope you're all having a wonderful week so far <3. Thank you so much for stopping by. lovelovelove.

1. Celebrated Kates 21st birthday this weekend! It ended up being too dark to take pictures with my Iphone (which is the only camera I had) but I did get to snap this picture of the pre-party at my place :). We toasted with champagne, ate red velvet cupcakes, and indulged in girl talk before the big night out.

2. Spent Sunday with my new fresh flowers, a cup of coffee and re-reading some old books and magazines.  (along with the not as fun stuff like homework)

3. I've been daydreaming a lot about Prague lately. I've read so many things that talk about how magical it is. Some say even more so than Paris. Plus, I'm almost entirely Czechoslovakian, so that means I must go :). Twould be a wonderful study abroad option. {source for photo}

I'm feeling  a little under the weather tonight. I didn't get much sleep last night and I'm a little worried I've caught something going around. Better get some OJ and some vitamins STAT.

Thank you all for stopping by today! I hope you all had a wonderful day. lovelovelove.

Last weekend I purchased this Free People Coat for 50 buckaroos. I love.

This has been quite the busy week. I am so very ready for the weekend. How 'bout y'all?

Treasure is coming town, too, which always makes it all the more lovely :).

Hope you guys enjoy your evening. Thank you very much for stopping by. I'll see you tomorrow!
