Who has a new sponsor, it's me!!! And, I absolutely love that Jeni from Stella and Dot decided to sponsor the blog! I have loved Stella and Dot's jewelry for years and they have some super stylish pieces that I love! Here are some to die for pieces that I MUST have:

Seriously, this gold necklace with the feather is fab!

I LOVE purple and teal together and this chunky

necklace would look awesome with half the stuff I own.

Love the colors on this piece.

I love a bold and colorful ring like this one.

Did you guys know they had kid stuff?? I sure didn't but I love!

Jeni from Stella and Dot bought these as gifts for the guests

at her little girls birthday party. Precious and what a great idea?

Pearls, so sweet.

I died when I saw this. I love the chevron piece.

I think I want to wear this!

Here is me in some of my previous What I Wore Wednesday posts rocking some Stella and Dot jewelry:

I think turqouise goes with just about everything. I wear these earrings ALL the time!

This ring comes in a set of three rings that are stackable. Since the baby my fingers are a little more, ahem, plump. So I like to wear these rings on my "retaining water" days. Love 'em!

Stella and Dot has some great specials going on this month. Click on the pictues below to enlarge and view their specials.

More Living Room Inspiration

So, I am about 3/4 done with the living room project. I can't wait to show it to you guys! I will probably show it before it is "finished" because it may never be totally "finished." I'm sure I will always add a piece here or there. I am loving how it is coming together. The paint turned out great and even though it is a little darker than the old paint, the room manages to feel much bigger. Loves it!

Here is another room that inspired me with my living room re-do:

I am so obsessed with Abode Love's man cave/gameroom. The colors are fab and I LOVE the football picture. It is perfect. I may have to steal that idea for a future man cave room. I like the mix of fabrics and the orange is to die for! You have to run over to Abode Love and check out her house tour. I love every single room in her house and she is absolutely adorable. Seriously, you will hate her she is so dang cute!

Happy Thursday ya'll!

HAPPY 1 YEAR BIRTHDAY MALONE!!

Malone's birthday was awesome!

After some agonizing about what kind of birthday to throw, I decided on a small(ish) family only party. I didn't want Malone to be overwhelmed and our house is just way too small for a billion people to par-tay it up.

I didn't really have a "theme" per say, just a red and aqua color scheme (with a funky splash of yellow). It turned out just as I had hoped and we all had a blast celebrating this amazing little girls' 1st year! Hope you like the pics...cause there is a lot of 'em!

The birthday spread! Cupcakes, cookies and popcorn.

(Malone had none of the popcorn of course!)

The cupcakes and smash cake were uh-mazing! They were done by a local lady, Babycakes by Angie. The cake was soooo moist and everyone raved about how good they were. Chocolate chip cookies by me! Recognize those goodwill plates. How perfect are they?

Score on that one!

I found these napkins at Party City. I thought the saying was perfect for the day.

"Life is good, Let's make today very good"

I used the red wicker baskets from Malone's room to house the two different flavors of popcorn. One salty, one sweet.

Red/white striped staws from Hey YoYo. A white pitcher held the milk for the chocolate cookies.

Notice the utensil holder? My other goodwill find! Spraypainted a fun aqua!

This chair was given to me by my Mom. It was used to feed all 5 of her grandchildren. She retired it when Malone came along and I decided to spray paint it aqua. Perfect for the party and I may use it or give it to Malone one day for her babies.

The birthday banner and hat is from Joosy Card Co. The banner says, "Lo is 1."

Closer look at the birthday hat. Loved it!

Momma and Malone

Her headband is from Monkey Knots.

Onto her presents! She actually sat in my lap for the whole present business. I couldn't believe it? Malone is an "on the go" kid and usually doesn't have time to sit still. She must have really been excited about those presents!

Malone's t-shirt dress was made by my very talented Mother -in-law. The shirt is from Vintage Lucy's and I just purchased the skirt fabric and she sewed it right on! I gotta learn how to sew!

I made her flower pin on her shirt, just to add a little pizzaz! Tights are from Target and shoes from Wal-Mart. I thought she was adorable and she totally rocked her outfit!

Sweet girl!

The Hubs Meme made this precious Quiet Book. Malone loves it. I'll have to post more pics soon to show all the pages. Man, I gotta learn how to sew!

Malone got her very own red retro kitchen. She has played with it like crazy. She especially likes the phone. She will put it up to her ear and say "hi!"

Yay for Red Wagons! All of you Dallas area folk will know this is

gonna be a great Canton First Monday wagon!

Family birthday pic. Look at that adorable squinchy smile!

Here is my other goodwill find. I wanted a keepsake for Malone on her 1st birthday. I had everyone right a little wisdom for Malone on this goodwill chalkboard that I spraypainted. It was really sweet and I know Malone will cherish it when she gets older!

"Mom, why is this thing on my head!"

Birthday cake time!

Classic!

My 1st trip to Goodwill....

and it won't be my last!

I found some great items for Malone's birthday party, they just needed a little love.

But, let me tell you there are some very interesting people at the Goodwill store. I saw people in their pj's and I felt so bad for the poor girl pushing around the cart of new items to be put out. She was surrounded by a group of women ready to pounce on the next item she pulled out. You would have thought she had diamonds or the fountain of youth in there. They were serious. But, all in all it was a great trip and I will definitley be back.

All the items pre spray paint

Here they are with the primer on. Come back tomorrow for the grand tour of Malone's birthday party! It was so fun and turned out just like I wanted.

Have a fabulous day, now off to the zoo!
