Pinterest Inspiration: Mulberry Cardigan, Black Tee, and Dark Denim

Do you ever get up in the morning, look in your closet and think, I have nothing to wear? Or do you feel totally uninspired by what you see hanging up? That was me last Friday. I think I tried three different looks before I ended up sitting at the foot of my bed and watching TV. Fridays are casual days for us at work and, as much as I love wearing my jeans, there are times when I’m…

Style Imitating Art: Bollinger Mill Covered Bridge
INSPIRATION ART WORK Bollinger Mill Covered Bridge by Daenel Vaughn-Tucker THE CURATOR This week’s inspiration piece was curated by me. I took this photo when we lived in Missouri. I used to go to the Bollinger Mill to take pictures, be alone, or just think. It was such a romantic place. I loved seeing the names and dates carved on the interior wall of the bridge. I always wondered about the people… I see so many possibilities in this image: teals, blues, browns, blacks, and even yellows and reds. And then there are the textures. What do you think you’ll wear? I can’t wait to see! MY LOOK Can you…

Coffee and Pie Chat: Maple Orange Walnut Pie Recipe
This post contains affiliate links A few weeks ago, I was scrolling Instagram when a picture of the most delicious looking pie jumped out at me. Like I started drooling on my phone. The more I looked at this pie, the more I wanted a slice. Well, that’s not possible considering Kristin {from Chicken Librarian and I don’t live anywhere near each other, but I thought of another possibility… Why don’t I learn to bake my own pies? So I contacted Kristin and asked her if she’d like to join me on a pie baking venture and – guess what? She was game. cue the drooling crowds Y’all, she was still on…

Style Imitating Art Inspiration: Two Acrobats with a Dog by Pablo Picasso
Hi, this is just a short post to introduce next week’s Style Imitating Art inspiration piece. INSPIRATION ART WORK Two Acrobats with a Dog by Pablo Picasso {The image is from the WikiArts domain collection} This painting was chosen by Salazar because “…of the blue tones (even though it’s actually from Picasso’s Rose Period) and the dog (of course), and the harlequin pattern is also an interesting detail.” Hmmmm, this one is gonna be a tough one for me. I don’t think I own anything any of those shades… You can read more about the painting here. On a related note, this is the second Rose Period painting in the Style…
