Blog Header Inspiration

From my fashion and costuming classes as well as reading blogs, I've learned inspiration boards are always a good idea. Here's mine for what I want to do with the new blog's header!

1. So Good & Tasty - love their little banner, the utensils and the colors!
2. The Smallest Forest - the colorful canvas banner is lovely!
3. Candy Pink - from Collete Fashion Blog, the board of like colors uniting items and the cute logo
4. Paper Glitter - the row of colorful images!
5. Eat My Blog - the cute little logo
6. The House of Smiths - the color scheme unites the row of fantastic images and the slogan at the bottom
(and obviously the dots!)

STH Revamp

After careful consideration, I have decided I don't really like to sew that much. So, why do I have a sewing blog?

As you can see, most of my posts have been about fashion and other things, not so much the sewing projects I've done (still working on pillows from at least a month ago). Therefore, a sewing blog doesn't make much sense, now does it?

So, I'll be writing a new blog based on the things I do love. I'll reveal it in three days on Friday! And to give you a hint of the name, here are a few things I love to do!

1. Nom!


2. Create!

Carolina Cup Outfit

I have found my Cup dress! I had two stressful weeks of no, I can't wear that because of x, y and z. Repeat. But after many hours spent online shopping, I have finally found a dress. And now I'll reveal my Cup outfit!


Drum roll, please....




I love this hat! Isn't it fantastic? That's all.

11 Days!

I have 11 days to find a dress. And for Patrick to possibly find a matching bow-tie (because, c'mon, that would be so cute!). I don't know that I'll rent a dress anymore since I completely forgot you have to add in shipping and tax and some other charge. So I may as well buy a dress for all that.

Carolina Cup: Hats

Now let's talk hats. On the one hand, I want something fashionable and tasteful.
Like Chloe Moretz's cute straw fedora-like topper at VC's Gold Cup


And on the other, I want to get a pic on the Carolina Cup site. Thinking of making something like this....

Carolina Cup 2012: Rent the Runway

Hello all! So Carolina Cup is in 18 days! I'm thinking of actually renting a dress since it's cheaper. Have you ever used Rent the Runway? It's a lovely little website (actually, it's really extensive) that allows you to rent designer clothes and accessories for any event! And, they even send you two sizes in case one doesn't quite fit. So - drum roll, please - here are my rental choices for the big race!

Aren't those rental prices killer!?

Carolina Cup is Coming Up!

Lately, I've been thinking about Carolina Cup, probably because it's coming up in less than a month - eek! And I need to find my outfit. Stat! If I decide I don't want to buy a Lilly dress because I'll probably be moving North following graduation, and let's be honest, Lilly prints look a bit out of place above the Mason-Dixon line, even if it isn't snowing just yet.

I've got a few almost all-Lilly options, each one is pretty different. Vote for your favorite!
