New Glossy Magazine in the Mailbox = Ecstasy!

There is nothing better than coming home and having a new Magazine in your Mailbox. I used to get tons of subscriptions...they have dwindled. I try to convince M that paying $4.99 for a single House Beautiful is silly when you can get an entire year for $12.00. Right????

HOWEVER, I just checked the mail and who is on the cover of Town & Country??? Who has a new shop in Charlotte, NC??

TORY BURCH. She is so fresh and pretty and pretty and classy and all those things I would be if I had more highlights.
(sorry for photos, from phone)

You know you are 30 when.......

You start to think the clothes at Lands End and Talbots aren't so bad.....

Lands End Canvas-Who doesn't love that Redhead?


That Gray dress....Perfect with boots for the Fall


Please tell me someone else out there thinks Talbots is cute?!
PS-She looks likes the lovely Velvet & Linen




I would rock the office in this. But need serious help putting this together, and probably longer pants...

What do you ladies think? Am I drinking the Kool-aid? I know everyone else loves J.Crew but I'm kind of over them lately. Well, except for the Clearance Center in Asheville. I'll pay $10 for J.Crew any day.

Chelsea Clinton looked beautiful!


I feel like I grew up with Chelsea Clinton. Beginning with her awkward pre-teen years, we were going through the process of bangs, early 90's fashion, and braces together. I was not an attractive pre-teen either.....I blame Sebagos and Duck Head attire. I still don't consider myself a 10 but I think I pulled out the ability to be a pretty bride.

Which is why I'm so happy that Chelsea Clinton looked stunning on her wedding day! She is absolutely glowing and looks perfect with her waist-cinching Vera Wang dress! Congratulations Chelsea!

Burlap for Couch?


My mom found a fabulous Burlap Coffee sack for me several months ago and it has been sitting up in the guest closet which I am so nicely trying to organize today.
What should I do with it? Possibly make a pair of pillows for the white sofa in the background? One pillow could be the image with "Magsa's Mountain Coffee" and the other could be the "Las Brisas..etc.".

What say you about the Burlap Mania?
