Inspiration. Motivation.

I've been such a bum recently. Not in the sense that I've been lounging and getting nothing done, oh, on the contrary! Yesterday I deep cleaned my apartment, de-cluttered my room, vacuumed and washed my car, changed and washed my sheets, did another load of laundry, did Hip Hop Abs (wow! CRAZY workout! --Get it! I would totally recommend it.), tanned, and went to church. But I've been a crafty, artsy bum. I need to paint! Draw! Make! Design! Something! I found some shoes at Goodwill and I've decided to make a floral trim for them. I'm sick of being so boring...blah. So, I searched for something to inspire and motivate me. These are lovely pictures I found! Enjoy! 

Hope you enjoyed my dears! I'll post pics of the renovated shoes soon!

XO, Staci

Friday Five

This semester of school for me is a complete joke. I've finished my major (Mass Communications) and my minor (Marketing) and so I'm only lacking 5 free elective hours in order to graduate.

Needless to say the classes I am taking are quite pointless - just time-fillers, really.

One of these purposeless, but fun classes is Scuba. Now normally I would have no inhibitions about taking something like this, but this class is starting right after I've been gorging myself with holiday foods and no sun to lay out with - hence my inhibitions. My only fear is that instead of looking like this scuba babe:

I'll be looking like this diver instead:

I doubt it's necessary to tell you that I've been dieting and hitting the gym hardcore. I even am starting this 48-hour drink that's supposed to make you drop 2 pant sizes in 2 days. My friend is doing it with me and she lost 6 pounds the first day! I'll still be taking multi-vitamins and eating only naked fruits and veggies to make sure it's as healthy as possible!

Ok, on to my Friday Five. These are what's making me happy right now...

1. These vintage British telephones. I want that orange one for my apartment.

2. The fact that summer and summer style is just around the corner.

3. Fallingwater. A house built by Frank Lloyd Wright. Jealous. I want it. Goes right over a little stream.

4. Pretty spring dresses! Give me bright, give me flowy, and give me floral please!

Christopher Kane, Peter Pilotto, and Holly Fulton.

5. Big, bold, crazy belts.

But one of my resolutions this year was to not buy anything designer (with the exception of Marc Jacobs = weakness). So, I will be thrifting for all of these wonderful items.

I want to know what you're most excited for this spring!

Love ya, Staci

Headband Galore.

Maybe it's the weather, maybe it's a trend, but whatever it is, I can hardly leave the house without a headband these days...

Case and point.

A few others I love:

 That last one may be my favorite.

This one is so festive! I'm definitely making it next year for Christmas:

These last few I'll be trying to tackle within the next couple of weeks...I'll let you know how that goes!

Back to school tonight. No work Tues-Thurs. So headband-making parties out the waa-zoo!!

Revamped.

Well, I've neglected this blog for an entire year. But, that's all in the past. New year, new hobbies. And fashion blogging is a new one of mine. I'm excited despite not knowing where to start.

For today, I'll start with shoes.

1. I'm normally not a wedge kind of a girl, but these are simply fabulous.

2. Pretty certain these Unicorn Princess Heels from Modcloth.com will be my wedding shoes.

3. To whomever brought back the 80s slouch boot...thank you.

4. Studs are lovely. On everything.

5. Who knew combat boots could be so cute?

I'm leaving work. More later! And guys...don't think for a second I've forgotten about you.
