Ice-Cream Truck

Hey everyone--

Let's face it, one of the best parts of childhood is the neighborhood ice-cream truck. Whenever I heard the music, I had to run out after it and get a treat! Now that I can no longer eat ice-cream, it's a little more challenging to get my fix, but I can always enjoy a good ice-cream print! This tee is sooo cute I want to wear it all year round, but I wanted to show it to y'all before summer was over!

Have a sweet day!

Hey everyone--

Today is my last first day of school! Let's do this! There have been a few detours along the way, but I'm ready to finish strong. 

I'm soo excited for fall! It's still pretty warm here though, so until I can wear my sweaters this gingham romper is what I'll be wearing. &; This bag (sigh) it's the cutest!

If you're going back to school, have a great first day, or week!

Have a sweet day!

DIY: Retro '90s Inspired Notebook

Hey everyone--
So this is a super super easy DIY! I had so much fun decorating my notebook and I think it's a really great way to make a more "serious content" notebook a lot more cheerful. I needed a new notebook to track my daily health patterns and UC symptoms and I decided to make it as fun as possible. I decorated the notebook with sparkles and stickers of all things that make me happy! It's the happiest notebook that I own and helps keep my spirits up no matter what I write inside. You can use your notebook for whatever you like! It definitely doesn't have to be for something serious. However, I think it's a great idea for a notebook that you use often so you are reminded of all the things that make you smile. 
& Yeah I'm a '90s child and I really miss the crazy sticker obsessed products that were popular back in the day so I decided to bring it back!
.. I mean how cute are these stickers? All of them are ban.do, seriously my most favorite store ever! :D The notebook is also from there. They're just rockin' my world lately.
Try it and tell me what you think!
Have a sweet day! Christina xx
Supplies: notebook, some really cool stickers, hot glue gun,  gemstones, whatever else makes you happy!
Steps: 1. Make sure your notebook has a background that you like because there will most likely be open spaces! I chose this notebook with tiny polka dots.
2. Cover your notebook in stickers & have fun!
3. Then use a hot glue gun to glue on gems and any other fun pieces that you want on the notebook!
4. Set your notebook aside and let it dry for at least 20 minutes!

Hey everyone--

(So disclaimer, I know I said this post would be up yesterday but I overestimate what I can accomplish in a day. Sorry friends!)

Fred joined me for this shoot and we had such a good time taking these together! We are really lovin' our BEARPAW shoes!

My shoe is the women's 'Magnolia' style in brown textured woven. I'm amazed by how comfy all of my BEARPAW shoes have been. Most heels, even wedges tend to hurt my feet after awhile but I've been impressed. My favorite thing about these are their textured print, soo cute. 

Fred is wearing the men's 'Sean' style in dark brown. Fred liked that they fold down in the back so that they can become a slip-on style. The are so versatile! They're comfy and they look great on.  

& Fred made them look really great. :D :D :D

Have a sweet day!

Hey everyone--
Okay, so this dress is pretty much my favorite. It completely takes me back to my childhood summer days spent waiting for the ice-cream truck to swing by my Grandpa's house. I love it so much! <3 center="">

Candy Striper

Hey everyone--

This dress has quickly become a summer favorite for me! It really reminds me of a candy striper which makes me think of candy which makes me happy.. Maybe that's why I love it so much?! 
I don't know, but I love it's contrasting colors and tie-bow around the waist! It's the perfect dress to throw on for a hot summer day or evening. Have a sweet day! Christina xx

Thankful 4.16.15

It's sad how unappreciative I can become when I've a hard week. I'm thankful for the people in my life who encourage me to keep looking up. 
What are you thankful for?
Have a happy weekend!

Thankful 4.9

Hey everyone--

I am so thankful for those little unexpected moments of happiness in life.

 Like when a bad day ends in joyful conversation, or when you realize a shrub that has been bare all winter is now a blooming rose bush! I have beautiful roses outside of my apartment that I've been enjoying on my way in and out. They just showed up one day, like most good things do. I cherish those surprises and tiny joys.

What are you thankful for this week?

Hey friends--

It has been a rough couple of weeks here lately. Thank you, thank you to all who have sent well wishes! 

Brrrr it's also been so cold in my little corner of the world. I have to layer up every morning before leaving the house. I love finding cozy pieces like this cape/poncho that makes bundling up look a little cuter. Plus it makes me feel like I'm wearing a blanket all day & I am A-okay with that.

Stay warm everyone!
