Oscar Buzz

I know that everyone is posting their take on the Oscars, but I will keep it short and sweet.  Honestly, I didn't even watch them.  I prefer watching my beloved The Walking Dead and Talking Dead (and can I just say, omg, can't wait to see what comes between Daryl and Beth).

In my opinion, the best part of any award show isn't who wins or who doesn't win, I like seeing what everyone wears!

Here are my favorites from last night.

And my personal choice for best dressed goes to: Lupita Nyong'o in Prada!!!  Love this color on her.

My favorite eye-catching couples include:

What was your favorite look of the night?

Storenvy

I know these days most people have heard of Etsy, but did you know there are many more super cool marketplaces out there?  One of those in particular is called Storenvy.

I heard about this website a little over a year ago, and instantly fell in love with the ease of use and community of the marketplace.  I quickly took to the site, starting a collection of envies of all the cool things I could find.  Over this last year, Storenvy continues to make great updates that are beneficial to all users.

Two weeks ago, I was contacted by Ethelind at Storenvy, and was asked if I wanted to be featured.  Of course I said yes and the fun began!

I was sent a questionnaire that will go live on their blog this Thursday, and picked out my top 50 favorite products.  It was really hard to pick only 50, but what can you do right?

The best part of it all you ask?  When you go to their main homepage, bam, there is a picture of me!

Now I don't usually toot my own horn, but this kind of opportunity doesn't happen all the time.

Please take a minute and check out Storenvy's Marketplace - I promise you won't be disappointed!

Featured Shop: Texturable

I will be the first one to admit when I have a problem.  So listen up here folks, I am obsessed with accessories!!!  Obsessed!!!!! Walk into my closet, and I know what scarf, earrings, watch, and sweater I want to wear - and then am left scrambling as to what to wear with it!  You can call that getting dressed backwards like my husband does, but I just tend to call it my normal.

It is no wonder that when I came across the store Texturable I couldn't help but drool all over the place.  The store is gorgeous, I seriously want one of everything! 

Grey Handwoven Ombre Scarf

The name of the store does it justice; every piece is handmade with care into great pieces to accessorize your wardrobe with the perfect amount of color and texture!  The designer, Claudia, lives in Uraguay, and makes everything herself, down to the smallest detail.  In her About Me page on Etsy she says:

"All of my items are made with a lot of love, care, and dedication. I strongly believe that everything in this world has an energy, and the things we make take on the energy of their creators. Because of that, I work with happiness and enjoy every step of the process. Each of my designs is full of energy and meaning – I think that’s why the result is beautiful. When I make my products I try to transmit my surroundings — nature, calmness and simplicity. I wait until each product absorbs the warmth of the sun and the freshness of the sea to send it to its final user."

With Spring on the horizon (even though it really doesn't feel like it) I find myself daydreaming about flowers.  While the white of snow is very pretty, I am ready to look out our front window and see some bright, lively and fun colors.  To get me through these next couple of months, I plan on scouring the web to get my floral fix.
