Slouchy Sweaters

In college, I wore a hoodie every day.  And loved it.  Until someone broke my heart and asked if I could dress up for a change.  Whoops.  I mixed up my wardrobe and found I liked it better that way.  But sometimes I still miss my hoodie.  We used to take naps together, arrive late to class together and even hung out with the same group of friends.

Yesterday, I stumbled upon slouchy sweaters: the grown-up's hoodie.
I am now in heaven.  Enjoy!

How do you stay comfy, cozy and cute?

Stay Warm

This wet, rainy day makes me want to cozy up in a nice warm blanket and take a nap.  I am digging these hobo inspired throws, from Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters, respectively.

I love things bordering on ugly.  

It's the aged, rustic characteristics that makes these blankets beautiful.

I am feeling a weeknight craft project coming along!  

Don't you love it when kids say "punkin"?  Too cute.

In honor of the upcoming holiday, today's post features three musical greats in all of their ghoulish glory.  

The prints are linocut designs (hand carved on wood and then hand printed on heavy card stock) by Straw Castle.  The designer, Derrick, is my husband's cousin who also made the Lift Up Nashville poster.  A cool, creative guy.  

What are your Halloween plans?  Got a good costume in the works?

Local Favorites: Used Bookstore

I will never own an electronic reader.  When engulfed in a story, I need to turn the page, hold the binding, fold down the corner. And I want the book to be all mine.  The freedom to take my time and read for understanding; or pull an all-nighter and pass the book along to a friend.
