BLUE IVY CARTER

Just because I cant help myself. We are huge fans of “THE CARTERS” and are so happy to see this couple evolve into a bigger family with their new baby. What makes this even better, they passed up dollars and decided to introduce their child to the world their way. Which was via Jay’s blog. GET IT CARTERS!

CONGRATS!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


The décor demon in me wants to know how beautiful the home is….

I know what your saying. Another watch Tam? Well..this is the LAST ONE. This watch was featured in the Nordstrom catalog, and when I say it made my 7 1/2’s go pitter patter. They indeed did. This is the:

TIMEX EASY READER BLACK CASE LEATHER STRAP WATCH

I placed myself on the waiting list for this watch, and questioned if the order would be filled. Well thank goodness it was because it looks great. There are no bells or whistles with this watch. Simple style, at an affordable price. It also has the indiglo feature so it lights up blue at night should you need to see. The “boyfriend” look is very popular right now, but I would not put this watch in the “trendy” category. Looking at it, you can see its more traditional than trendy for sure.

sofa sofa sofa

Finding a sofa that works best in our home has been one of the hardest tasks. Some people think its so easy to just get a sofa, when really its not. You have to consider….

  • USE --- For guests, sitting, maybe T.V.
  • KIDS (IF YOU HAVE THEM)--- For friends (snacking across the way at the table).
  • COLOR --- Either a gray or ink blue color.
  • LENGTH --- I am thinking 75-85 inches.
  • QUALITY --- DURABLE. I want this sofa to last us for at least 7 years.

In the past, we used our sofa in the den to watch movies, chill, and even sleep from time to time. Seriously, my kids never slept in their rooms when we first moved in. They were sofa sleepers, but they had beds. Now that they are OLDER there will be no sleeping on the sofa. The first thing my son asked is “Will I be able to sleep on it”…. UMMM-NO!

So, below is where I am in my head.

So there is my mental sofa pin board. Mr. Styles is leaving this one up to me, and I am tired of saying I am unsure although I really am. For fun…these would make my heart pump.

OPI Pink Friday

I have been on the hunt for the right pink polish, and finally it arrived. I wanted something really pink, but not sheer and proper. I wanted full coverage fun, and that’s what I got. This is from the Nicki Minaj collection for OPI.

And here it is on a lighter skin tone via NAIL GALORE.

 

Do you have a perfect pink polish that works for you?

survey feedback

If your looking for the feedback post. It has now been put on ICE.  I appreciate the comments, and support of those that ENJOY this blog. I am thankful to everyone that encourages me, and enjoys what I put out. Although blogging is easy, it still comes with everyday reality. There is a GNAT (or GNATS) that fly through every once in a while, but bug spray is easily found in the form of my wonderful readers. You guys left some wonderful comments on the survey, and have given me a great insight to who’s reading G.I.G.S.

I cant say THANK YOU enough for rolling with Tam. Lets see what’s next.

kardashian Kollection jumpsuit

This jumpsuit was very comfortable. I will say that it runs a bit big. This is a medium, but I think a small would have been perfect due to the stretch that it has. Very versatile in my opinion though. I went more “conservative” (for me) with my shoe choice. But a stiletto would have turned this jumpsuit into something extremely fun.
