{Dressing up a simple jersey skirt}

After my surgery, skirts and dresses were the only things that I could wear that didn't irritate my stomach. On a trip to Old Navy to literally buy every skirt and dress I could get my hands on, I picked up what has become my favorite piece of clothing in my closet - a black jersey skirt. I have worn it in so many different ways, I thought I would post my favorite looks to show how you can wear it during the day - and then for a quick change to wear it for a night on the town...

{Summer Weekend Uniform}

Do you find yourself wearing the same things over the weekend? I saw this picture over at Polyvore and immediately fell in like with the casual chicness of the outfit {doesn't hurt to have Jennifer Aniston modeling exactly how to pull it off}.

{Searching For: Glass Coffee Table}

I'm on the hunt for a new coffee table - and because my living is on the smaller side, I am looking for a glass table to allow the space to feel more open. I'm currently scouring the flea market and Craigslist, but haven't had any luck yet. I'm sure one will pop up sooner or later, but if you happen to see anything like the ones shown below, pah-lease let me know!

{Summer Personified}

I love this picture taken by the Sartorialist. The composition and the pure organic feel of the moment is what definitely caught my eye. In addition to my favorite aspects of this picture {mentioned below} it really is a perfect captured moment in summer fashion, it's just beautiful...

{The World's Greatest Dad}

I posted this last Father's day - and couldn't help but to post it again - enjoy!!!

{My dad used to play beauty shop with me (before I had 3 other sisters to play with) and I got to put barrettes, bobby pins, balls, and even ribbon in his hair. Now come on - you have to agree that's some great dad! Note: he's now bald because of me and my sisters - sorry dad!}

{My absolute favorite game when I was a kid was Memory ~ and my Dad would play it with me over and over.....and over again - at my request of course.}

I could go on and on about how great my dad is from the piggy back rides to bed, to endless hours of Pac Man on our Atari 2600, to standing outside in the cold with my mom at 4:00 in the morning trying to get me a Cabbage Patch doll for Christmas, to attending every gymnastic meet - every cheerleading event - every Thursday night band practice and Friday night high school football game, to washing my clothes when I came home for the weekend from college, to all the way down to his famous fried chicken. Dad I love you to teeny tiny pieces and today I celebrate all that you are and all that you do. You're the bestest!!!
