Birthday Wish #1

Forget everything on my birthday list before... THIS is what I REALLY want for my birthday! 

I first fell in love with Mandi's Blog when I saw this wall of mirrors...

and my first proclamation of stalkerishness forever etched on her wall on the world wide web... 

I fell more in love with her blog when I saw these stripes...

I fell in love with her bubbly personality after watching her on the Nate Show

and am so so so obsessed with her design style... we are design twins- fraternal not identical...she's the cooler one.

More Reasons to love her:

We're both Krylon fanatics (forget your expensive Rust-oleum, it's Krylon who makes my mirrors AMAZING!!! 

There isn't a picture on her blog I don't love...

She decorates like I want to but am limited...

Ugh so many more reasons!

Mandi is having the MOST AMAZING GIVEAWAY EVER!!! AND I MUST WIN!!!!! 

It's a pathetic mess. And i'm out of budget and out of ideas...  that's why I want Mandi to come. That and so we can go thrifting together and score amazing finds... 

It may not look as bad as you think, but for someone who loves decorating and seeing my house "perfect" this kills me. It's empty and bland... There's not a single bit of my personality in here. Mandi would be the perfect person to come over because I would trust her 100%!! 

Here's where YOU GUYS come in!!! AS SOON as voting polls open on MONDAY, APRIL 30th (in 2 weeks) I am going to be begging/persuading/pleading/etc for your votes!!! PLEASE HELP ME BRING MANDI FROM UTAH TO GEORGIA to help redo my living room! IT WOULD MAKE MY LIFE!  

So on April 30th when voting opens... I need y'all to help me! Please, I've never wanted anything else so badly!!!! I really really really want to win this!!! Thanks!!!!!!! 

Giveaway Winner!

First of all, I'm SO sorry in the delay... I haven't had internet all week! Thank God for smart phones or I'd be completely disconnected!

Second, I just wanted to let you guys know this funny story: when I used random.org- the website made my sister a winner...not once, but twice. HA! I didn't even know she entered and I automatically disqualified her... haha I told her to enter a Silhouette giveaway with luck like that!

Third, I am so so so sad I can't give everyone $50... maybe one day I'll be HUGE and Home Depot will want to give my readers gift cards! Until then, my student loans can only buy so much and I can only give one lucky follower the prize...

Congrats, Em! I'll be e-mailing you to get your info to send off the card. Hope you enjoy your $50!

Follower Appreciation Giveaway!

As promised, I have a very special giveaway for all current and NEW followers!

For all you loyal Ordy and Joon followers...

For all you new people who are here just for the giveaway...

I hope the newbies stumble upon the blog and like what they see! I'm a law student and I blog to get my head out of boring case law...You'll find a lot of home design tips, redecorating madness, crafts, thrift store projects, before & afters, some recipes, and even a guide to sunless tanning! I don't sew but I managed to cook up my own Pottery Barn duvet knock off and a camera strap... I have an obsessive personality disorder that makes me buy multiples of everything I like...even a room full of vintage Reader's Digest books.

It won't take long for you to see my obsession with traveling, mirrors, and my sister's kids... my love for my puppy, and above all my love for Ordy!

Because I love this store so much and go there at least twice a week... and because Ed at the paint department is so nice to me and brightens my visits with his pocket full of jokes... and because I know that most of my readers can appreciate a little help in the home improvement department... This giveaway is for a $50 Home Depot Gift Card!!!

Giveaway #2 Winner!

Kelley's tweet about the giveaway won her the package... haha no really! Her comment about tweeting was #5 and the lucky number for this giveaway.

Aw, don't be sad. Because guess what? I have another giveaway. Yep. I'm gonna make y'all sick of them. haha just kidding. It's smaller in value, but just as cute. I'll be showing you guys what it is soon (my computer and phone have both been in and out (and in and out again) at the Apple store, so it's been a rough blogging/picture week!)

Enjoy your weekend! And Kelley, send me your address :)

And the Winner is...

Congrats, Letty! (what a cute name!)

I'm so excited to ship out the package to you {once the weather permits me to!} If you haven't heard, I live in the South and we just got a "snow storm" hit! The whole state is pretty much shut down and the grocery stores are out of staples like milk and bread!

Also, for those of you who didn't win- don't worry, I have enough stuff to do this giveaway once a month, and just might!!! It's been a great purge- thank you for encouraging me!

Long Time No WIWW!

I haven't participated in What I Wore Wednesday because I've been crazzzzy busy and my outfits were boring :( you understand, right? holiday slump... and this weeks was pretty boring. Like pretty much the same stuff just different variations!

Also, because I buy multiples, it may LOOK like the same shirt... but it isn't. Well, it is but only 2 times- not three!

please excuse my awkward caveman slump, dunno what was going on...

Cardigan: Nordstrom Rack
Shirt: Target Boyfriend Tee
Black Skinnies: Forever 21
Leg Warmers: Charlotte Russe maybe? Gifted...
Wellies: Ordy Boy (Burberry)

Cardigan: NY&CO
Shirt: Old Navy
JEGGINGS!
Shoes: TOMS

I forgot my WIWW picture habits but snapped this at Gap because I literally bought it and walked out with it on. It was freezing out and I only had my thin Marmot rain coat. So there's your WIWW pic. In store :)

Jacket: duh. Gap

Shirt: Target Boyfriend Tee

Black Skinnies: Forever 21

Leg Warmers and Wellies: Same as before

NYE! Ordy Boy makes it in the WIWW post pic {even if he'll be mad later... haha}

Blazer: NY&Co

Shirt: Gap Tee {softest shirt in the world}

Jeans: Buffalo by David Bitton

Shoes: Michael Kors Wedges

Purse: Tory Burch

anndddd for kicks: 

the only thing I know Ordy is wearing:

Jeans: Levi's

Boots: Ariat

Because I bought them both, he just makes them look so stinking cute

 So, I was apparently doing the Hokey Pokey when I snapped this pic in Ordy's closet??

Cable Knit Sweater: I think I stole it {or did she give it??} from my roommate sophomore year of college... *sorry Tanneka if you're reading this- love you and I'll give it to you next GNI if you miss it!
Jeggings!
Leg Warmers
Boots: Ordy Boy picked them up on a business trip to Dallas. He loves me. I love him. This works out.

annddd because I didn't leave my house all day in order to redeem myself from my "hoarderish" ways- I spent the entire day at home cleaning while watching Three's Company in my original Janet nightgown that Ordy Boy and his grandmother made me {he had the idea, she had the sewing skills} it is my most cherished gift ever.
