Day 27 of Lovely

I was recently reading EoS and ran across this article about a Drew University student's dorm room from 2009.  Talk about FAB.  Most of you don't know this, but my roomate and I won "best dressed room" my freshman year at Mississippi State.  And let me tell you, my custom bedding and window treatments  (yes, you heard me....custom) look like JC Penny gone bad compared to this. 

However, with a name like Maximilian Sinsteden, you're bound to do great things.  My favorite part?  The bar. 

Day 26 of Lovely

My first attempt at a new masthead.  I created this in the most elementary but overcomplicated way...almost too embarrassing to even admit.  Baby steps folks.  Baby steps.

Day 25 of Lovely

I am in Reality TV HEAVEN! If it weren't for the heat, this would be my favorite time of the year. The cold front on Thursday better hurry it's ass up. 98 degrees is sounding pretty damn good.

Here's my current lineup:

Sunday Night - Design Star and The Antonio Project
Monday Night - Real Housewives of New Jersey
Tuesday Night - Flipping Out and Rachel Zoe Project
Thursday Night - Project Runway

And coming soon....Secrets from a Stylist and Thintervention with Jackie Warner. It takes awhile to get over her butchiness, but I think I'm going to like this one.

Day 24 of Lovely

I do not claim to be frugal in any way. I don't spend frivolously by any means, but sometimes the effort of saving a dollar is just not worth it to me. However, my dear friend Lori has started a blog completely devoted to saving a dollar, and now I feel like I need to do my part in the coupon clipping world. I will probably fail miserably, but it's worth a shot, right?

Check out her blog, Dixie Clip. She's pretty damn amazing. In fact, it's down right scary that she is this good at it. Hopefully she'll give you some good tips!

Day 23 of Lovely

All of my decorator/home magazines are biting the dust, left and right. First, Domino. Then, Cottage Living. After those two were cancelled, I did something crazy and ordered Canadian House and Home, which was fun because I could call it "Hoose and Home." One magazine into my subscription and BAM, it's gone. And the funny thing is, they try to be all nice about it and send you Southern Living. All of them. Well people, I already get Southern Living. So now, I get multiple copies and I'm not sure how to make it stop. Make it go away!! There's only so many peach cobbler recipes one girl can take.

The only magazine I rely on now is Lonny. If you haven't discovered it yet, definitely check it out. It's online, so I hope that they can get their shit together enough to keep it running.

The best thing about it? You can mouse over the items in the picture and it will take you to the online store! LOVIN IT!

Day 22 of Lovely

These lovely ladies helped me celebrate my 33rd birthday...Dinner at the Belmont and drinks afterwards at Jay Blacks. There's nothing better than best friends, lots of wine, and raunchy dinner conversations!

Day 21 of Lovely

Grafton and I are headed to New Hampshire today to our family camp. Wicked awesome.
