Five Faves

I don't remember how I stumbled across this shop, but I'm so glad I did! Their stationary and party supplies are just too adorable!! The prices are surprisingly affordable too, so you can easily add the cutest little details to any special occasion.

Rachel O's Etsy shop is another one that I recently came across. I don't know where she finds these fabrics, but OMG.... I can't even handle how cute her little accessories are! I could seriously buy them all up!

How great of an idea is this?! Bonnie shares a neat alternative to gift packaging!

Check it out here.... Going Home to Roost

I am obsessed with everything on this website! Each piece is handpicked from small boutiques and indie designers... and only between $30-50! Not bad! Not bad, at all.

Bonne Chance Collections

Jewel is such a cool girl. I just love scrolling through her blog and reading all her fun DIY projects, from easy holiday decorations to oh, so pretty nail art! Check out all of that and more at Jewel Sha'ree

Baby, it's FINALLY cold outside...

It's finally getting cold enough here to actually wear jackets, boots, and sweaters! It's very bittersweet to me though. Like I've said before, I love wearing lots of cozy layers but I hate cold weather... But yesterday, aside from being super cold, was such a beautiful day! Cody and I spent some wonderful quality time together. We snapped tons of pictures downtown, got some delicious lunch, played with the fur children outside, and watched the latest episode of The Walking Dead. It was pretty much perfect.

I love being downtown. Not just our downtown, but ANY downtown. I love the artistic, cultured, and historic look and feel of that part of town. Old buildings are preserved (or at least not completely torn down), gardens are planted, walls are painted with colorful murals.... Newly developed areas just don't compare to the character of downtown.

Sunday Style

When it's cold in the morning, hot in the afternoon, and cold at night, how do I decide what to wear every day?? Layers. I try to wear pieces that look good with or without added articles.. that way I don't have to completely change outfits 2 or 3 times a day! Amy = 1, Dirty South = 0

What Does the Fox Say?!

It's still super hot here in the 'sip, but the nights are getting cooler. Finally! At least it's not so miserable outside that I can't wear pants, because I looooove my new, blush colored pants. They're so soft and comfortable. I've also gotten myself addicted to Instagram shopping. I. Just. Can't. Stop.  ...but how cute is this handmade fox headband?!

Outfit Swap

Ever heard of a clothing swap? You know, where you get some of your friends together

and raid each other's closets.. then make trades on the pieces you like. Well,  I'd like to do 

something similar to that with all my blogging friends. That means YOU! I wear sizes 

small and medium (in tops and dresses), 8-8.5 (shoes), and 4-6 (pants). 

I have tons of other clothing, shoes, and accessories not pictured here. If you are interested

in swapping, want to see more items, or request more details on a piece, just email me!

amynicole662(at)gmail(dot)com

Swapping will be totally free!  ...Well except for a couple dollars for shipping when

you get to the post office. I can't wait to see all the cute outfits we will put together

with our "new" clothes!
