It's the little things....

Soooo.....Thursday afternoon, my sweet husband surprised me with earrings. I was ecstatic! It was such a sweet surprise.

Now, before everyone goes thinking that he bought me diamonds, let me say that first, I could care less about diamonds. In fact, the earrings he bought me are even BETTER than diamonds, because HE got them for me. Here is a picture of them:

Yeppers.....those are Hello Kitty plugs. :) I love that my husband knows just what I would like.
Hope everyone is having a Happy Monday!

Enjoy!

Annnnnnnnnd it's Wednesday!

Today has been a little better than yesterday. I decided to try something different with my hair.....AND, I am wearing a necklace that I made. Its a rather gloomy day out, so I decided to wear cerulean blue to brighten things up. I am also wearing an antique headband that I found years ago.

 Hello Bouffant!

(I wasn't trying to look unhappy here, promise!)

I am wearing NEW shoes today too. Course, I have had them for a while, just never worn them.

(sorry, a little blurry)

Anywhoozles, they are from Forever 21, and they are actually quite comfortable and lightweight. I am quite fond of them. 

Hope everyone is having a lovely day! Enjoy!

Terrible TUESDAY!

So I am just done and over with this day. Can it be Wednesday now......please??  The day started with my shoe strap breaking at work. Thinking quickly, I STAPLED it back on. Then my computer got infected with a virus....so I went half the day without a computer at work. THEN, my awesome idea of stapling my strap onto my shoe caused it to rub on my ankle causing a lovely gash.  So needless to say, I had to run to Target on my lunch break to buy a pair of shoes. I went with simple black flats being that I will wear them over and over again. Thinking things were going to get better.....I get the icing on the cake......My poor husband who has been searching aimlessly for a job and thought he finally got a good job, was let down once again.

So, tonight, I shall come home from work, take a hot bath and relax the rest of the night with my husband and pretend all is well.

This is my "Having a rough day" face



Cross your fingers that things will go better tomorrow.

Love & Kisses,

Oh Monday, you shouldn't have!

No really..... you shouldn't have......came back around again so early!

I am one sleepy girl today.....which isn't a good thing being I have to work from 7:30-5 and then have class from 6 to 9:40pm. Talk about a loooooong day. Anywhoozles, I chose to go with a retro flapper look today.

I love wearing my collection of flambouyant headbands, and today's makes not exception. Large feathers, rhinestones, and BIG! Although, people always think its part of my hair.

I got bored over the weekend and decided to bedazzle the corner of my glasses too. Just because!

Hope you all had a great weekend. 

Love and Kisses,

Good Morning, Saturday peeps!

Candi Marie here.....semi sleepy and at work. (boo) I honestly am starting believe that it should be a sin to be awake before 10am on a saturday. Did I mention that it is raining and gloomy out?? Perfect day to be in bed sleeping still. Thank God for Biggby coffee. :)

So.....here is a recap of my day off.......

Yesterday was a good day. While my hubby was having a meeting downtown, I went thrifting at One Girl's Treasure and bought 2 amazing vintage dresses, a skirt and a fabulous satin black and white polka dot blouse, and a silver sequin hair flower. I was quite pleased with my finds. I wasnt even planning on shopping. It just sort of, happened. I was also surprised that OGT carried vintage clothing. That made me very happy. Then, we stopped to this great store on Wealthy Street, called Phills Stuff. This store is only open when "Phill" feels like opening it. Anywhoo, they have everything you can imagine in it. Antiques, hardware, jewelry, old pictures, Manniquins, and TONS of Records.....and a plethera of much much more. My husband picked out 2 really cool vintage postcards and I purchased some very sparkly cocktail rings.

Today, is a work day for me....only until 2pm. Then I will go home and take a nice nap. After napping, I have my work cut out for me. CLEANING!!!!

Hope you all have a happy Saturday.....or CATurday!

This is my sweet little girl, Coco Chanel, making sleep look AWESOME!
