Pink Glittered Toms

While at my best friend, Sara's daughter's second birthday party on Saturday I noticed she had an itty-bitty pair of pink glittered Toms shoes.  Heart be still.  Pink, check.  Glitter, check.  Comfy, check! What an in-style two year old!  We discussed that these shoes needed to be made for adults...well ask and you shall receive!  I noticed via Sara's mom's Facebook that they are being made in women's sizes!  Hello, future Christmas present!  

New World Home

I was browsing my latest issue of Country Living (I heart) and stumbled across an article about the "Green" home of the year, built by New World Home.  I started to research the company and let me tell you, they are amazing.  The founders decided they were tired of colossal 'McMansions' popping up all over our country, you know those cookie cutter homes that are everywhere, and decided they wanted to do something about it.  They are bringing back design elements from days gone by but are building them modularly (in a factory).  Basically, you buy the land and they bring and build the house in 120 days!  The homes are extremely efficient and the designs are amazing, just see for yourself!  A girl can dream right?

Weekend Getaway

We were fortunate enough to get away for the weekend and it was amazingly relaxing.  Each year we go to my in-law's weekend home at Wintergreen in the mountains, however they have sold it and we needed to go for our last hurrah.  We went with some good friends and enjoyed visiting several wineries that were beautifully situated at the foot of the mountains.  With views like this, how could you not have fun?  I also got a little creative with the photography too!  And...yes I know I look fat and am wearing total frump jeans.  This problem must be rectified this weekend!  Highlights...yes please!

Our last pictures at Wintergreen.  I wish I had pictures of it all decorated.  It was so nice.
