Arts Festival

This past weekend was filled with errands, errands and more errands. Owning a house is a lot of work let me tell you. A LOT of work. We did manage to squeeze in a little bit of "fun time" by heading down to the Columbus Arts Festival. Like I mentioned last year in this post, I truly look forward to this event every year. I really love the array of art at the show - handbags, photographs, jewelry, hammocks, prints, life-size animals made of nails (yes, you read that right) - really, tons and tons of stuff to peruse and keep you entertained.

We wandered around the artist's booths, drank excessively sweet lemonade and listened to some live music. All in all, a perfect day.

I walked away with this AMAZING print by Christina Smith (you can view more of her work here) that I'm totally jazzed about hanging in our house:
I plan on framing this gem and spending hours upon hours staring at these adorable little pelicans. Now I just need to find the perfect spot for it...

Tee Party

Yowza, it's been a while! I'm not even going to apologize this time because I seem to get in these little "no blogging spurts" every once in a while and hey, that's OK, right? It always happens around big, life-changing events (um, hello, we bought a house AND I'm working full-time!), so I think that's fairly justifiable.

Anyway, I'm easing my way back into blogging because I love it and I missed it. My first "I'm back" post features something so easy and so simple, yet helpful and extremely relatable. I came across this article on InStyle entitled "8 Ways to Dress Up Your Tee." Like I said, pretty simple stuff, but informative nonetheless. I often times overlook some of these pairings, so it's nice to have a little style refresher every now and again.

It's a great little slideshow and you can check it out here. Hey, any excuse to wear a tee is pretty awesome in my book.
