Coloring inside the lines

Right now at Kohl's you can buy these great graphic owl tees to color. They come with a set of 4 markers and are super fun for anyone!!

Normally I don't advertise a specific brand or product, but these are pretty cool. I spent a couple of hours this week coloring most of mine so that I could wear it to a birthday party for an-almost-teen-girl in my family. She is super easy to shop for since she loves owls. I actually bought myself the shirt first and then went back for another one for her.

I used the 4 colors that came with it and I also used the crayola fabric markers to give me some more color choices. If you end up trying this out, be sure to put a piece of cardboard between the two layers of the t-shirt when you are coloring it so the colors don't bleed through to the back. This would be super fun to get for a whole group of girls...a youth group or girl scout troop, they could all have matching shirts that would reflect their personality. They had additional styles besides the owl, it was just my favorite!

Happy birthday, kiddo!! Glad you like your shirt! I can't wait to see what you do with it!

Shoes!

 For a long time I only bought shoes that would go with (nearly) everything. Brown and black shoes are must-haves. But what about shoes that pop? They are a great way to make an outfit shine! Do you have any bright shoes? My favs are a pair of yellow stilettos - couldn't resist!

My challenge this week: Wear shoes that pop! Then post your photos on Flickr so we can see :)

The Colors of New Orleans

Last weekend my family and I traveled to New Orleans for my sister's wedding. While we were there, I couldn't help but fall in love with the gorgeous colors of the city. On every street I saw a new combination of colors, bright and bold and beautiful. Where else would pink look lovely next to an olive gray? Plum with orange? Cheers to you, New Orleans, for inspiring us with color!

What city inspires you?
