If I had a million dollars

I swear all my blog posts are going to be about things I am not buying because I'm saving my pennies for travel in 2010!

I'm going to have to break down pretty soon and splurge on some little fun things or go crazy. I have been coveting this little hair ornament for a while. Old Heart, New Soul's website just makes me want to move home and force my mother to open a boutique with me. Only our sewing/crafting abilities are very limited. We always find that out the hard way when we take on a project over our heads! Their stuff is adorable, and at least jewelry-wise I feel like I could make my own versions, if I had the time and the patience. I'll probably convince my friend Katie, who is a true jewelry star to help me out! Oldsoulnewheart.com

After I figure out the hair/jewelry situation I'll move onto buying up dozens of flower pieces from this woman (I think it's her in the pictures). I swear I spend more time coveting genius things that other people make, then just trying to figure out how to make genius things myself. Her blog and her flowers are adorable. I highly doubt I would ever be able to convince any man in my life to rock her boutonnieres, but I would rock all of it. Plus I just enjoy looking at the pictures she posts on her blog. The photo shoots she does with her gorgeous creations are both amusing and interesting. I would never think, "Lets show off my cute hair clips" by feeding tons of ducks. I love it and now I want a pair of green wellies too!

It's starting to feel like Spring in Dallas and that makes me nervous. Clearly, I have a streak for a crazy accessory and fall/winter is easier for me to attempt those for some reason ( I think its because I can always wear a velvet blazer as a security blanket :)) I have a pair of OTK suede boots and a velvet blazer (or two) to spend some time with before it turns into pretty weather. Right now they are all sitting in my closet waiting for me not to be lazy and take more then 25 minutes to wake up and head out for work! The outfit from Emersonmade in my blog is so my style, why am I too lazy to actually do something about it???

On a final note, so far 2010 isn't off to the start I had hoped. Although one of my favorite people at work reminded me the other day that the issues that have come up are still a carryover from 2009! I guess I'll have to give 2010 a chance still. Starting next week I will also have to give waking up at 5:30AM a chance, one of my friendlies and I are going to start running the Katy Trail in preparation for the Butterfly Boogie 5K (maybe Ill get so good I can run the 10K)!

Until my next random posting!
