Beautiful Glamping Princesses

This weekend we went camping in West Virginia with some friends. It was super fun! While the boys all went white water rafting Alyssa and I went and climbed on the rocks... and sunbathed. There were some crazy hippies taking over our campsite, hanging out at our tents and putting crap on our tables. We decided to go  into hiding until the boys got back because the invasion of our space was freaking us out. We got nail polish and painted our nails. So I guess we were glamping. (Glamorous camping). I actually really like the nail polish I got.




I am pretty sure it is impossible for me to paint my nails without messing them up somehow.
Tomorrow I turn 24. Zach has class so I won't really see him at all. He is taking me out tonight and apparently working on some surprise that involves 3 phases. I have no clue what he is doing and I am excited!

Fabric Resources

One of my favorite blogs: Design Sponge posted this about a week ago: Fabric Resources. I love fabric and personally feel like the selection locally is lacking. There is Joann's and Hancock. Which are convenient. But also chains that are very basic and limited with their selections. Fabric Hut off of Little Creek is good for bridal, and special occasion fabrics. They do have basics as well but it is expensive. Blaney's in Norfolk has upholstery and home decor fabrics. I need to check out The Second Yard, especially since I hear good things about it. It is close by on Laskin Road and my mom's friend works there.

 Still, in Hampton roads we have nothing even remotely comparable to Mood.

Which I drool over every time I watch Project Runway. I am in love with that white and grey print, third down from top on the far right. I am a bit weary about ordering fabric online though. You just can't see what it will look like in person through the Internet. Maybe some day Virginia Beach will get a giant fabric store with an endless selection of awesome fabrics. But for now I will have to settle for the ordinary or take a road trip.

Brandon Flowers



Zach loves The Killers, so of course he had to buy Brandon Flowers new CD Flamingo the day it came out. I've been listening to it a lot, and I can't get enough of the second song Only the Young. This is the best video I could come up with.

In love

I am so in love with these two things. I want them more than anything. Why do they have to be so expensive?? :(


Janet just refinished this side table for me, a thrift store find for $6. It is going to go in the living room where my computer currently is.

Now the only thing left will be curtains.
