Breaking News.

Until the other day I had no idea my girl Zooey D was going to have her own tv series.

It honestly looks quite hilarious, I'm freaking stoked.

I love that as soon as she came on the screen Maria grabbed my arm, knowing I was in awe. Haha you would have thought they were announcing I had my own show, with the level of excitement I was at.

Alright back to work, I just thought you all would want to get in on the awesomeness:)

Be back soon with Friday Five and some other newness soon.

Restyled: Take two.

Hello there!

Well I planned on updating more yesterday, but three trips to the mall to get my new glasses and they ended up getting my prescription wrong. Fail.

So I'm sure you could guess I wasn't the happiest camper after all that, anything I may have blogged wouldn't have been the happiest update.

So here I am, still new glasses-less but in a much better mood:)

You may remember the first time I shared something I had redone back in February. I noticed I had titled it "wardrobe restyle" but some of the upcoming things I have to share are not necessarily in the "wardrobe" category so I have more properly titled this segment, Restyled.

I have been doing SO much spring cleaning. I am so overwhelmed and really trying to rid my life of so much clutter.

I love to try and give things a second life before totally discarding them. That way instead of wasting money on something overpriced but "new", I can make something like new!

A few summers ago I got these sandals from the gap at the end of summer for a shocking $4.97.

I know right, such a good price and mustard colored, how could I not?

But in the past two summers I may have worn them 3 times. I love the color and they are practically still brand new, so I figured I could spice them up a little.

About 15 minutes, some buttons, and a needle and thread later, I had new shoes.

I am a little in love.

With all my cleaning I have many of these projects coming up, BUT some will be gifts so you just have to bare with me until I give them to some lovelies. Then I'll share with you:)

Lots more to come this weekend, I told you my head is FULL.

xoxo,

teenage dream.

I just had to post something! Do you love the new look of what?

I am so thankful to have a partner who is willing to listen to all my crazy ideas and translate them to something I love. Someone who works hard to get something done, just for me to say, I do not love it, or its not me, and is willing to go back (without question) and make it true to who I am.

Thank you babe, what the heck would I do without my other half?

I am crazy busy but also CRAZY inspired lately.

I have about a zillion projects started and today and tomorrow will be for finishing and posting them. I have a 2 DIY's, some sneak peaks, some restyled projects and so on.

I feel horrible for how quiet it has been around here, and hope that will be changing as summer approaches.

A few weekends ago now my little cousin had her first prom. We are really close, seeing that she is my ONLY cousin on my moms side. No seriously. I have one cousin. haha!

So the whole family (including Maria) loaded up in cars to go and take pictures of the lovely one.

She looked STUNNING. Her dress was incredibly classy.

My little sister and Becca Boo are both ridiculously pretty.

She went with just a friend (which I think is the best way to go). The poor boy was totally overwhelmed with both maria, in his face with our cameras haha. Not to mention my family and his family trying to capture every moment. It was adorable how awkward they felt:)

I hope they had the best time. My Becca Boo, stop growing up, becoming so beautiful, and making me want to watch you like a hawk. I hope it was a beautiful night for you.

I unfortunately have to get new glasses, I kind of really hate eye exams. I cannot believe in two years they have gotten worse! It makes me feel like I am getting old.

I cant wait to pick some pretty new frames though, I have been looking online and have a pair in mind, so hopefully I love them as much in person.

I see the sun trying to peek out!

more later,

Friday Faves.

I've missed the last few weeks of these but I am always finding truly beautiful things.

This week I shall share my expensive eye candies that I can dream about but could never actually afford. (or be willing to spend for that matter, haha) but its always fun to look!

1) Why are the prettiest things the most expensive? *sigh*

(source)

2) Ughh so in love with this dress!!

(source)

3) This is brilliant!!! SO many extra pyrex bowls I would LOVE to do this with.

(source)

4) This handmade camera bag is EXACTLY what I would want if I could have one.

(source)

5) I love small bags in the summer, and would LOVE this one.

(source)

And there you have it! My current, "I love you but cannot buy you" list. Maybe next week I'll have to make an affordable summer list, we'll see:)
