iPhone 6 Or 6 Plus
Normally
I am not one to get too excited about new technology or upgrades, but the other
day when I was in the Apple Store I played around with the new iPhone and it is
amazing! I love how the screen feels and the fact that the phone is so thin,
plus I’ve heard the camera on the iPhone6 is pretty awesome. I’ve been up for
an upgrade for a while, but I like my phone so I haven’t gone through the
trouble of getting I new one yet, but after playing around on the new iPhone I
am more than ready to ditch my current phone. The only problem now is that I am
equally torn between the iPhone6 and the iPhone6 Plus – I like the size of the
iPhone6 but I use social media, email, take pictures, etc. so much that maybe
the iPhone6 Plus would be a better fit.
With the
excitement of getting a new phone always comes the excitement of getting a new
phone case! Below are a few of my favorite phone cases made by some of my
favorite brads – they all hold up really well.
What are
your thoughts on the iPhone6 v. iPhone6 Plus?
Here’s
where to shop for the above phone cases. Click on the name of the phone case to

Friday Five
I haven’t
done any version of a Five on Friday post before, but I figured what better
night to try it out than a cold snowy, icy, winter night.
It has
literally been 12 years since I can remember Nashville being so shut down, icy,
snowy, cold, and white as it has this week. I have a whole new respect for
Northerners – It is all fun and games till your car turns into an ice cube and
you back porch a skating rink. Regardless it is still a beautiful sight in the
morning to wake to the sight of the sun reflecting off the snow.
Understandably, a lot of people started to get cabin fever after the first day
and became resourceful. Ice Skating down a drive way looks like so much fun and
is something I would totally do if I had a pair of ice skates and if I could
ice skate.
I love
old Hollywood - I have so many
books on Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Katherine Hepburn, and a few others, plus
on of my favorite movies is Rear Window. There is just something so glamorous,
classy, and intriguing about Old Hollywood. Needless to say I got a kick out of
this quiz. My result was Grace Kelly {my favorite actress of all times} – which
Hollywood Icon did you get?

I would
like to give a shout out for such a beautifully written interview I did with
her a few weeks ago.

arrivals at J. Crew are so perfectly springy! I am so ready for spring and
summer and their new arrivals make me all the more excited! So in love with thistunic!

say more…
Happy Hour Time
Well,
hello there Friday, it is so nice to see you again! What ever took you so long
to finally arrive. For some reason every day this week has felt like it should
be Friday, so I am glad the day has finally arrived! I never thought I would
say it – I am always wishing for snow, but I hope the ice and snow in Nashville
melts soon! I am all about the snow and the beautiful winter landscape, but ice…I
can do without the ice. I say bring on spring and warm weather! Whether you plan
on sledding, taking a trip to warmer climates, or just enjoying spending time
with friends and family I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend with many great
memories to be made. Cheers!

Rifle Paper Co. + Paper Crown
I
probably post a little too much about stationary and paper goods on here, but I
have a love for paper goods. Confession: I like to write notes/cards/thank you
notes and often need to; I use this is an excuse to buy stationary in what some
might consider excess. I have recently run out of desk drawer space to store
stationery and have started to “display” the overflow on my desk - the Paper
Source is a dangerous place….
I love
all the whimsical designs that Rifle Paper Co. does, all of their stationery,
phone cases, notebooks, etc. are all so pretty! Recently Rifle Paper Co. teamed up with Lauren Conrad’s company, Paper Crown, for a collaboration. Call
me crazy but I never got into The Hills and the other reality show Lauren
Conrad stared in, but I do love her blog and style; she has one of the best
Pinterest accounts. Lauren Conrad and Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Co.
collaboration includes a collection of clothing {cannot wait to see the
collection} and a whole new line of paper goods.
The
clothing line isn’t being released till the spring but the paper line is so
cute and perfect!

A Very Minty Spring
A couple
weeks ago I was shopping around the Nordstrom shoe department and noticed that
the dominate color was mint green: mint green sandals, mint green heels, mint
green running shoes, and so on. I’m going to go ahead and predict that mint
just might possibly be a “spring color” in the fashion world this spring,
fingers crossed.
In my
honest opinion you just can’t beat pastels when it comes to the spring in
summer season. The color pallet always seems to be so flattering on everyone
and adds an extra element of brightness after a cold winter season. After all,
who doesn’t look great in a beautiful shade of blue or mint green. Granted I
may be biased – I have blonde hair and fair skin so baby blue, mint green, and
white are my colors, plus they are the three colors that remind me of the
beach; my favorite place on Earth!
I may be
getting ahead of myself, but I have a strong feeling that we will be seeing a
lot of mint green {and hopefully a lot of baby blue} this spring. To add a
little brightness/color to such a snowy, icy, and cold day I thought I would
share some mint green inspiration.
