I LOVE watermelon, so I was super excited to get this watermelon print dress from one of my favorite brands, Effie's Heart. However, it was so drab in person with the sweatpants grey background...I wish it had been a sky blue instead...to evoke summer watermelon memories. It was still fun for a wear & the fit was spot on. 

I thought adding the pink necklace & watermelon leggings would brighten the outfit up a bit. Others might appreciate the subtlety of a muted watermelon dress, but not me...

I tried to make my eyeshadow look like slices of watermelon...which was a better effect in person as David noticed it without my having to say anything. 

My make-up with this outfit included...Urban Decay eyeliner in Mildew, Kat von D eyeshadow in Pink Flamingos, Cotton Candy Glimmer Shadow from Ace Beautē, trèStique Mini Highlight Stick in Maldives Luminescent, New York Apple lipstick by MAC, & unknown frosted pink polish from OPI. 

I become obsessed with things...since forever. Right now I am obsessed with owning a 1970 (the year I was born) Dodge Challenger in Plum Crazy. Isn't she beautiful?!
We have made the final decision of what trims we desire for our curtains...as many as possible, of course! 

Maximalism at its finest.

Fluevog sale...I can barely walk & I certainly can't walk in heels...but ooooooo, preeeetty...get in my cart! Also, I got this fabulous Indian cotton fabric on eBay...Rye approves. 

Live online concerts...what is currently keeping me from going too crazy. A local band, Whiskey Farm, playing at Olbrich Gardens; Dan Rodriguez; & another great trio of artists from the Green Note...including Carsie Blanton. 

Practice roman blind making...David made me a fancy edge. It's going fairly well, but I keep cutting myself with the rotary cutter. Hurting myself is my special skill. 

More music, my lifeblood...The Lowest Pair & Sean Hayes. Remember that amazing mirror I bought from the fabulous Tracey from Tracey's Fancy?! She goes live every Wednesday on The Dixie Belle Facebook page...& last week she worked on my mirror!!! She painted half of it black...then gold leafed it!!! And then put leopard foil over that *swoon* The other half is going to be completely different. And completely fabulous. 

David worked on the pergola last weekend...it's looking good...he stained & sealed the cedar. Dan went live for a song with his son...it was fairly adorable. 

A video chat with my girlie! This is my super glamorous at home in my nightgown look. And...doggies keeping me company while I sew.
