i wish....

The day is here....I am OFFICIALLY 31.

And in honor of my birthday, I think I should definitely make some wishes and blow out my candles.

I wish.....

~To always be actively aware so that I may grow wiser with each passing year

~For a happy marriage to the same man....for my entire lifetime

~For my kids to grow up to love the Lord...and me

~For a continual sense of peace, joy, and hope....despite my circumstances

~For a calorie free delicious chocolate cake to be invented

~For every pair of pants, including jeans, to have drawstring waists, therefore eliminating muffin tops....FOREVER!!!

~That this will be the year I stop obsessing about things that shouldn't take up as much of my heart, mind and thoughts, because they don't deserve the space...

Ahem.....like calories in a cake and muffin tops....

Maybe I should add Therapy to my birthday wish list....

Whatev.

Okay....back out to wait for the packages.

Happy Birthday to me!

{And yes, I am a middle child, and I do need the attention. I'm aware of that much.}

Anyway, I have to say, it was sooo good to be back, and I definitely soaked up every moment of worship and every morsel of wisdom.

Love.

more than words....

I first posted this last Thanksgiving...but I think it's going to be a yearly tradition to post it every year...because you know, sometimes there's a lot of family drama on holidays, and you just need to find SOMETHING to be thankful for.

So just remember, we can all be thankful for Jimmy's dancing:

~~~~~~~

On a more serious note....I have no words to thank each and every one of you who come here every day to read and see what it is that's on my mind.

The comments, the words, the love....it means the world.

Actually more than the world.

It means....more than words....

Ahem....this calls for a song.

Saying I love you

Is not the words I want to hear from you

It's not that I want you

Not to say, but if you only knew

How easy it would be to show me how you feel

More than words is all you have to do to make it real

Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me

Cos I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two

More than words to show you feel

That your love for me is real

What would you say if I took those words away

Then you couldn't make things new

Just by saying I love you

More than words

Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand

All you have to do is close your eyes

And just reach out your hands and touch me

Hold me close don't ever let me go

More than words is all I ever needed you to show

Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me

Cos I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two

More than words to show you feel

That your love for me is real

What would you say if I took those words away

Then you couldn't make things new

Just by saying I love you

More than words

~~~~~~~

A little poem/song for you....because....

I love you.

And I'm thankful for you.

More than words.

Happy Thanksgiving.

whats your home style?

I love quizzes that tell me more about me.

So, when I saw this quiz on Home Goods, I was all giddy....

And after careful selectioning....here is my decor style:

Summer, you are a GLAMOROUS CLASSIC

{duh!}

You have a refined sensibility with an appreciation for history and tradition in your furniture and your rooms. You value beauty and craftsmanship. You are visually sensitive and understand how symmetry and a balanced layout give order to a room. But you definitely like to shake things up with some unabashed luxury and glamour to keep things from getting boring. You go for rich materials like velvets, one-of-a-kind objects, lady-like touches, glimmering accessories, and a sense of old-Hollywood romance that makes your home dramatic and elegant.

You value creativity. You are stylish and fun loving, and can be an inspiration to others. You have a natural sense of drama, and you know you have to be willing to take risks—whether with colors, finishes, furniture choices, or ideas—for your home to stand out. Your home can be happy and lively and the place all of your friends want to be.

Putting Your Style to Work!

With your style and needs in mind, here are a few tips that will help you make your home a little happier.

1. Your Design Challenge: ORGANIZE

The front hall sets the mood for your entire home. Consider how to accommodate all the room's functions as beautifully as possible. At the very least you need a console, and if you're short on storage, consider a dresser. Outfit the surface with nice trays and bowls for mail, keys and sunglasses. Keep a trash can for immediately tossing the junk mail. Closet-door or wall hooks encourage coat and bag hanging rather than dumping. If you have children, try to give each a basket in the closet for hats and gloves. It's nice to have a chair or bench for changing shoes, a mirror for last-minute lipstick checks, and a lamp or sconces for warm light.

2. Your Happy Place

The more serene your bedroom feels, the happier you will be. A pretty coverlet over a big duvet makes the bed look smooth—and not all duvet-lumpy! And, a blanket folded at the foot of the bed breaks up the big expanse of fabric. Euro shams—those big square pillows—are great for reading in bed, and a few decorative pillows can also be a nice touch. Consider adding a basket or a small occasional table near your bedside table for books, papers, lotions, linen spray or whatever you'd like.

3. Be Party-Ready All the Time!

Food: Devote space in your pantry or on a shelf for go-to party essentials: crackers, dip, chips, nuts—whatever you like to serve. Keep on hand a collection of attractive bowls and cocktail napkins, and you'll be able to set a spread—instantly!

Drink: The simplest and chicest thing is to have a drinks tray or table always set up. Include a mix of pretty glasses, an ice bucket, a lovely pitcher, and bottles of soda and water. When the bell rings, just add ice and limes.

Mood: Nice, flattering light makes us feel good. So nix the harsh, direct light from overhead fixtures in favor of the softer glow from floor and table lamps. Also, keep some votive candles and a couple of hurricane lanterns for setting around the room.

Scent: The first thing you notice about a home is how it smells. Use naturally fragrant cleaning products. If you find a scented candle or fresh potpourri you love, stock up on it. Any scent you like, whether perfume or linen spray, can be used on upholstery, bedding or just spritzed into the air.

It's a slow week....so no excuses...go take it now!!!

i'm not greedy, just needy

It's now exactly a week till my birthday.

{I told you the countdown was on!}

Not that after December 1, my birthday season ends.

Nuh uh, it lasts until Dec 23, for any of you out there who need more time to celebrate with me.

And while I began my list on an earlier post, since that time a few more things have come to mind....

I call it needy...not greedy.

~~~~~~~

Amazon Gift Card:

I have a list of books I feel I need to read in order to be complete. On that list are...

~Secrets of the Secret Place

~L.A. Candy {what?!? I heard it's good...}

~The Measure of our Success: A letter to my children and yours

~Tropic of Cancer

~Cities of the Interior

{do those last two make up for the LA Candy one?}

Any others you think I'm missing???

Next up....I'm kinda crushing on the La Mer Watches. These in particular....

{mostly the black one...}

And then, I just recently discovered that I desperately need this

MomAgenda Planner:

I'm also feeling like I need some Reconstructive Surgery.

Maybe just put back what God originally intended for me to have...which I'm sure is not two skin flaps and a less than a six pack tummy.

Ya...so anybody wanna sponsor that?

{Honey?}

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Anyway...some ideas.

Happy Shopping.

kinda like the pottery barn card holders, only better

You all remember Heather, right? My sister with the home staging business that has the funny stories?

Well, you must also know that she is crazy talented in the crafty department, and I'm not talking scrapbooks.

I'm talking these CurlyWires that she sells on etsy:

They are inspired by the Pottery Barn ones, only she somehow found a way to make them better! At least that's what her customers have all told her.

I have one too actually, and I'm in love.

~~~~~~~

Here's a brief discription from their website:

Turn Christmas cards & holiday photos into a bright wall decoration with this handmade wire holder. Mount it vertically or horizontally to display all of your cards and pictures. Will look great above the mantel or on the wall. The handmade wire card holder is made of 16 gauge wire and has 38 loops. The overall length of the card holder is 39 inches.

*With the purchase of every card holder, you get a free curly wire photo ornament for your tree.

Bonus - order more than 1 card holder and pay no additional shipping charges for your order.

~~~~~~~

I'm thinking that they would not only look amazing in your home during the holiday season holding your holiday cards, but also year round holding adorable family photos.

And guess what?

Because my sister is among one of the biggest fans of this blog...she has offered to giveaway one of her most amazing card holders & one of her photo ornaments (which comes free with every order, btw) to one of you guys!!!

I know, swoon, right?

So, same ol, same ol....

~make sure you're a follower

~visit Heather's etsy shop and show some love

~leave a comment here showing your adoration for all things Heather...and maybe mention who might benefit from receiving this as a gift

Need more chances?

~Tweet Tweet on Twitter

~Facebook it

~Blog it

I'll be picking a winner next Sunday!

monday muse fashion post

This week I was at a fashion loss for outfits. I just felt so tired and lazy, and when I looked at my closet full of clothes, I saw nothing to wear.

So, I collapsed on the couch, pulled up Twitter and went to my muse's for inspiration. Within minutes, Lula came to my rescue. Of course it was Lula....she's just that amazing.

She asked, "How to dress sassy, chic, AND comfortable for the holidays? Without wearing sweats. Ahem. Seriously--need HELP!"

How could I ignore such a desperate plea???

So here's what I came up with. One chunky red (for the holidays!) sweater worn two ways...both of which I consider sassy & chic and totally comfy!

Sweater: tag says Laurette Lane {thifted}

Look #1:

Layered over a white tank, dark denim wide leg jeans, and grey metallic heels.

{Can even be worn with tights for those of you NOT in SoCal!}

Tank: Hanes, {Target}

Jeans: Roxy, {TJ Maxx}

Heels: Mossimo, {Target}

Necklace: {Platos Closet Resale}

Purse: Marc Jacobs but not {Fashionjunkee.com}

~~~~~~~

Look #2:

{I'm instructing Taylor to please move his sword (a.k.a. broom) out of my shot.}

Paired with a gray tights (circa 1992...seriously, I've had them that long!), gray skirt, and tall flat gray boots.

Skirt: tag says, Janette {thrifted}

Tights: {Gap}

Boots: Mossimo, {Target}

Purse: mark {mark.com}

~~~~~~~

I'm loving red next to gray....it's just makes the whole look appear soft and sweet.

Instead of bold and bolder.

Ya?

Also, rule of thumb with tights? Match them to your shoes.

So, I hope this helps with the holiday what to wears....I'll try to come up with some more ideas for this month since it's not just the holiday season of my birthday but a few others as well. =)

Happy Freaking Monday!

P.S. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you who left sweet comments yesterday about my hair. You totally made me feel better and more confident, and today I'm completely secure and happy and way way loving them.

© 2009 "Le Musings of Moi"

i love them, i love them not....

I did it.

I got the bangs.

And when I left the salon, I felt sassy and sexy, and all was right with the hair world of moi.

But then I started taking self pictures in the car to show them off via text, and quite quickly all was not right in the hair world of moi.

So, I love them in person, not so much in pictures. Ugh.

I'm sure it's just going to take some time getting used to them. I'm always this way when I do something new with my hair.

Also, I think they seem a little longer on one side, so I may get them trimmed just a tad shorter....we'll see. I'm giving it the three day rule.

You may wait three days to call a guy/girl....I wait three days to call my hair girl.

Same diff.

So, at long last....wa la:

P.S. Be gentle with the opinions. I'm not feeling so cute. =) Kay thanks.

© 2009 "Le Musings of Moi"

um, seriously....

Anybody else out there getting a PLETHORA of spam comments???

Um, seriously....it's kinda outta control. And I'm kinda getting annoyed.

How do I make this craziness stop?

In other news....I'm just about to head out to get my roots attended to.

Oh, and as long as I get permission from my hair girl, I'll be getting bangs.

{Tired of hearing about that? I am.}

Hopefully I won't leave crying.

If I do, I'll just come home and watch The Office again, because this weeks episode was awesome.

That's it.

Just some random Saturday thoughts.

Oh, and did you see Chic Shoppers website??? If not, go check it out, and make sure to follow!

Please.

P.S. My birthday countdown is ON! 31 in a week an a half, aw ya!

fashion friday

Cardigan: TJ Maxx

I have cardigan fever....I'm obsessed. I'm now on the search for a black one with a hood.

Need like now!

Tee: F21

Jeans: Sevens, Dojo Style {Plato's Closet Resale}

Shoes: DKNY {Loehmans}

Can I just tell you? Betsy found these shoes and was going to take them back, and I was like nuh uh woman!!! Get this deal...originally $115, I spent $37.50. And the wedge and straps are patent!!! Could you die? I could.

Necklace: F21

Purse: mark.com

Hat: F21

I'm also a little OOC {out of control} when it comes to fedoras lately. I bought two this last week, and am instantly hooked. I'm loving the feminine detail of the ribbon around it, which makes it just that much more yummy.

I warned you that you would see plenty of hats until my hair appointment which is this Saturday!!!

Yay!!!

I'm so getting bangs.

Wish me luck!

*******

Okay, now onto the BIG NEWS!!!

Chic Shoppers has gone live!!!

Our Fashion/Image Consulting Business is off and running, and we have the website to prove it!

I would be honored and downright giddy if you went on over and followed, grabbed the button, and generally became as much as a fan of it as possible.

That's not asking too much, right???

I'm so proud of our little baby, and I'm excited to finally be able to reach the whole wide world with our fashion help!

So, go on now....go. Let me know what you think!!!

Muah!

13 going on 30

Um, ya right. Or....SIKE! Or was it psyche?

Either way....I was so not that mature!

{I did know how to work the camera though...And this was BEFORE Tyra!}

Okay, so one of the options of Writers Workshop today was to share a diary entry from when you were 13...

Excitedly I pulled them out from my diary chest, and took some time reading through the year of being 13.

And....OH. MY. WORD.

Seriously???

Shoot me if I ever have to be 13 again!!!

{Or shoot me if I ever match my red shirt to my red glasses again!}

The freaking drama, hormones, emotions, and woah holy mean girls! At one point, I wrote..."I think I'm going to go on a diet, because that must be why nobody likes me....I'm just too ugly and fat."

{I have to admit though, I did have style...}

Practically every other page was about who was going out with who, who broke up with who, and who was going to ask who out.

I also seemed to keep track of who I kinda liked, who I really liked, and who I really loved unconditionally. {Um, yes, I really wrote that!} And trust me, there was a boys name for each of those categories. And the boys names changed weekly. I think I crushed (or was 'sprung' as was the term back then) on every boy in my school by the time I turned 14.

Examples:

I *heart* Todd? {And yes, I did put a question mark.}

I *heart* Rick 4-ever! {Still trying to remember who Rick was....}

Summer + Matt = True Love.... {That one lasted a month.}

You get the idea.

On the pages I wasn't writing about boys and 'going out,' I was word for word writing out the things the mean girls at school would say to me.

But throughout the whole year of my 13's....there was this one entry that kept haunting me....mostly because I kept thinking how my heart would break if I ever knew my own kids were to be feeling that way one day.

*******

Well, I'm very depressed.

I wish someone in my family would tell me that I'm special and name some good qualities about me so I feel like I'm an okay person.

I know there has to be some good in me. I'm not an all bad person. Just because I'm not Malia, I'm not special. Malia does everything perfect and I don't work as hard as her, and I'm not as pretty as her, and I'm not as popular as her, and I could go on and on.

I feel so worthless. I know God loves me, and thinks I'm special, so why can't I understand that and be happy?

I just don't feel like I fit in. I'm not funny or as fun to be with as Malia and Heather are. I'm just plain old boring Summer.

It seems like nobody cares. I mean what the heck is wrong with me?

Why can't my family love me and show it? Why can't they make me feel special and show me that I have some important talents.

Am I really that bad a person that my family doesn't want me around? They always tell me to live with my dad, but when I think about it my mom tries to talk me out of it.

I wish God would just take me to heaven so I can be with someone who loves me.

I don't think anyone will ever really love me for who I am.

I'm so tired of trying to be someone I'm not just so people will accept me.

Deep down I know I'm special, so why can't my heart catch on?

*******

Depressing much?

To be fair though....my mom was waiting on the divorce from my dad to be final any day around the time I wrote that, so there was a lot of drama and emotions going round a house full of girls.

I had also just recently started my very first period. Good to know, right?

Annnnd, and this may come as a surprise to most, at that age....I tended to the more "dramatic" side of things.

Only at that age though....um, certainly not now. I am most certainly NOT dramatic now.

Ahem.

I guess that's the good thing about keeping my journals. I will never forget what it's like to be at any age. I will always be able to go back and learn from my past. And hopefully all that pain and confusion I felt will better serve me as a parent to my own kids....

And to end this ever so uplifting blog post (what did you expect from a 13 year olds diary?) I think what we can learn here is:

1. Being 13 is not fun.
2. As parents be sure to always, always, always....no matter what, make your child know they are loved, that they are special, and never ever let them forget what makes them that way.
3. Read your 13 year olds diary. Daily.

Whew, that's enough serious for this week.

Thank goodness tomorrow's Fashion Friday...

cereal, reality tv, and other happy thoughts

I'm feeling a little blue since my sisters left....I just can't help but feel a tad lonely without my them.

But, rather than mope...I'm gonna try to stay focused on the little things that make me happy.

Those minute moments that make me smile...

*******

~like a bowl of Honeycombs

~an episode of Tori & Dean, Rachel Zoe, The Hills, Project Runway {enter any reality tv show here and you get the picture}

~a really well written funny book

~thrift store shopping

{Can't wait to show the deals from this weekend!!! BCBG anyone?!?}

~my babies smiles when they wake up from a nap

~nap time

~your incredibly encouraging and hilarious and ever so loving comments

{My air.}

~long hugs from my man that aren't because he wants some later

{Can I get a what, what?!?}

~calls from family, well from my side of the family anyway

~getting my hair done

{this weekend!!!! Will there be bangs?}

~buying 3 pairs of sunglasses for $20

{Designer knockoffs by the beach. Love.}

~a cozy n comfy fluffy white bed

{wanna stay all day.}

~my best girlfriends

~daydreams of my sisters moving to SoCal....

*******

That helped....a little.

I still miss my sisters though.

Anyway, now that they've left me, I have all this free time again and I'll be back to writing and reading all of my favorite blogs....Hopefully I'll be all caught up by the weekend....

I've missed you.

just. be. silent.

It's been awhile since I just sat down to write.

To just write and not think beforehand.

To not wonder first if people will listen. If they will get it. If they care.

I always think first.

At least now I do.

Sometimes after many many mistakes, people tend to swing really far in the other direction.

I must have done that.

But it's my safety. It will keep me safe. At least that's what I tell myself.

And yet, there is always this gnawing feeling that tells me to just sit.

Get rid of the noise. Light some candles. And just. be. silent.

That slight ache in my heart, soul, mind....wherever it may be at any moment in time....it continually beckons me to stop.

Stop thinking.

And just be.

Breathe.

Listen.

It's in these moments...that I hear Him.

That He can speak to me.

And my wall crumbles....

so tonight, I hear You.

The thoughts of my mind are still, and instead my heart is open...

monday muse fashion post

Today's Monday Muse features my most fabulous and amazingly hot sisters from our big night out Satty night.

~~~~

First up, we have Heather, the oldest of the four....

{Check out the fashionable way she was able to wear black with brown, and do you see? Those fab leopard knee highs? Girl is working it!}

~~~~

Next up, Malia....who has been lucky enough to be in the middle with me....

{Clad in adorable tunic, a cardigan that I've been lusting after, leggings, short boots, and one of the best statement rings I have ever laid eyes on! Can she be any cuter? No, I don't think so.}

~~~~

And then there's my little sister, Brittany.

{Working the cozy look, yet still managing to be completely stylish and chic. Loving the socks and boots with the skinnies.}

~~~~

Together we all caused quite a stir.

{What?!? People never seen 4 sisters before?!?!?}

~~~~

And then, of course, we had our very own personal bodyguards....

{a.k.a husbands, rocking the tee shirt look...}

*******

It has seriously been so much fun having all my sisters and me....cuz....we are fam-i-ly.

{Did I get you singing?}

And I think my heart may break ever so slightly when two of the three leave me tomorrow....

{my youngest lives about 30 minutes away, although sometimes it feels like its another state away!}

We spent much of the time trying to decide upon a state/city that we are all willing to move to so we can all be together again...Ideas anyone?

Well, we're off for more shopping. Gotta get my Fashion Friday look complete!!!

Hope your Monday doesn't suck too bad!

Muah!

sneak peek

We are DAYS away from being able to reveal our Chic Shoppers website and seriously, our web designer has outdone herself....

Since I'm so freaking excited....I'm going to show you a little sneak peek:

I know, it's a tease....but trust me, it's definitely worth the wait!

Thanks again for all your love and support with this business, I couldn't have done it without a single one of you!!!

Muah my loves!

fashion friday

Dress: Sam & Max {Plato's Closet Resale}

Jacket: French Connection {thrifted}

Tights: {Costco} totally the best tights ever!!!

OTK Boots: {Charlotte Russe} Also seen here worn folded down.

Ring: {Charlotte Russe}

Bracelets: {F21} {Twisted Silver}

Necklaces: {thrifted} {F21}

Purse: {from a little shop in Pacific Beach}

I really wanted to add color to this dress with a necklace or bracelet...or scarf, but nothing I had seemed quite right....so I settled for the purse....and while good, it still wasn't good enough....oh well.

But at least I had the boots!

I'm telling you guys, I am so into the over the knee boots (OTK) right now, and I was super excited to have a HurryDate event tonight so I could finally sport them unfolded! I tried to bring the sexy down by pairing them with opaque tights and a black blazer....didn't want to be too Pretty Woman-ish....not quite the look I was going for tonight.

Or, um, ever.

{A little fashion advice....not a look you should go for either.}

*******

Can I just tell you, today I was in the worst mood! This time it was lil mama who feeling funky.

I mean, I knew on Monday when I was ravished and hungry and no amount of food could satiate me....that 'you know what' was right around the corner. And then today's mood further confirmed my suspisions.

It didn't much help that I've had two nights of little sleep.

Or that I lost three followers this week. I mean, did they catch on to my PMS too and just run as fast as they could in the opposite direction?

Was I not cute enough?

Smart enough?

Funny enough???

What??!?!?

Why did they just....sob sob...leave?

Or maybe this funk has something to do with the fact that I'm aching and hurting for a friend...seriously, I feel as though I'm the one with the pain.

My tears don't know the difference.

At least my sisters are flying in tomorrow, and I'm pretty sure the only other cure to PMS and an achy {breaky} heart, besides chocolate, are my sisters.

It will be so. much. fun.

Dueling Piano Bars, Thrift Stores, In-n-Out, F21, Anthro, Wings n Things, Charlotte Russe, P.B. Shoppes....all just a snippet of our four days together.

Also, even though a few may have left me {my blog, whatev, same diff}....

I have to say, you guys and your sweet emails and comments....oh my WORD....how do I find the words?

Every single day I smile, every single day I laugh, every single day I am encouraged....

and all because of your sweet words.

Ahhhh, I'm starting to feel better already.

Lost followers what?
