Fashion Friday : Fabulous Fall Mani's

Happy Friday Friends!

I don't know about you, but I've been inspired by all of the fun diy manicures I've been seeing all over the web.  From elaborate designs to creative two toned concoctions - the options are endless.

Here are a few of my favorite recent finds...

{Above is the mani I did this week with Julep's Boris & nicole, and Gwyneth. Try the Julep Maven program for a penny using this link & promo "penny" - you'll get two polishes and an add on almost free!}

{I love the gold metallic!  So perfect for holidays!}

Have you ventured out into the world of wild mani's?  I would love to see your handiwork {pun totally intended...I couldn't help myself.}

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Creating Beautiful

So I was clicking around on Pinterest a bit today and came across a few quotes that resonated within me - the above, being one of them.  All of this concern with what style to deck out our apartment in, which furnishings to purchase, what our budget looks like, etc., etc.  I'm easily consumed with a task set before me {especially when it comes to something creative} and I find my heart and emotions far more involved than they should be sometimes.  Aside from having an adorable home {cause what girl doesn't want that?}, I want my home to evoke a sense of beauty apart from the furnishings and wall coverings.  I want my home to be a place of warmth and peace, love and holiness - a place that my husband, myself and visitors will find rest, refuge and be reenergized before they head back out that door.  I firmly believe that all of those feelings begin with me.  I so desire to be a girl who makes a place beautiful just by my mere presence.  Not in vanity, or physically speaking, but by the presence I carry and the Godly confidence that can only come from a life walked alongside Him.  I truly want to carry the whole "less is more" theme, I've had to adopt over the past few weeks, with me into this new year and beyond.  I want to simplify and focus on having a beautiful spirit - one that isn't so concerned with what I'm adorned with, but by what is flowing from my heart instead.  It is possible to make a place beautiful, but I can't do it alone. ♥
             

Giveaway Day!

Today's the big day we reveal our super cute giveaway! My friend Courtney, from Courtney's Makings makes beautiful jewelry and she's giving one of her owl necklaces away to one lucky reader (I'm so sad I can't enter this, it just wouldn't be right for me to win ;).

A little about Courtney.
I met Courtney a few years back in Nashville.  She's a spunky girl, who's love for life and all things creative just bubbles from her heart.  A happy happy newlywed (she's pretty much married to a rock star and for that I'm jealous), owner of precious pup Buddy, Zumba instructor & jewelry maker - this girl does it all!  Her style is earthy meets bohemian and she loves to incorporate vibrant colors into her chunky pendants.  A quote that inspires her is, "God doesn't always call us to great things, but to do small things with great love."  So with a cup of coffee,  a great playlist & a cozy home office, Courtney disappears to make fun jewelry to share with her friends.  Go check out her Etsy and don't forget to come back daily to enter our giveaway.  (Oh and did I mention she has a revolving door in her home??  She truly doesn't get any cooler!)
