Should I get bangs?
I am unable to put into words exactly why I love this video so much. It could be due to the career in my past life, where I was surrounded with girls exactly like this. Or possibly because I intimately know the "should I get bangs" ritual. Or... maybe it's just his beard. Regardless, I literally cry every time I watch it. I referenced it in my post from Friday and I have been unable to stop thinking about it.
Enjoy!
If you also find that you can somewhat relate, there is a part II!
Feelin' Fabulous Friday
I like to think that I have moments of brilliance at times, and this morning standing in my closet was one of those moments. It's gray, overcast, cold and windy outside, and I have no motivation to acknowledge that Friday exists. In my mind it's already Saturday and therefore, logically, I should curl up in my sweats and go back to sleep.
That's when the brilliance hits! Fridays = Fabulous! The weekend is almost here. And even though work is inevitable today, even the boss tends to check out a little bit early on Fridays. Yes, it's at this exact moment that I spot this skirt. This ridiculously-over-the-top-for-a-Friday-skirt, which I will admit is probably more appropriate for a formal occasion, but who cares?! I'm freakin' wearing it anyway. It's comfy, super cute and completely what I needed to jump start my Friday. Bonus: it makes me feel super fabulous like all those Pinterest pins I have have pinned on My Style board (especially this one)... come on ladies, you know you have those too.

Happy Thursday, friends... Friday is really close!
And, today is a very happy Thursday because I finally get to introduce you to our newest blogger friend. She comes to us from a wonderful little site called Camp Patton, and has an exceptionally wonderful name: Grace! In addition to being the cutest little thing I've seen lately, she is incredibly funny and her quick wit shines through in her writing. Pair that with insanely adorable photos of her family and Camp Patton will have you instantly hooked! Oh, and did I mention that she's 23 weeks pregnant in the above photo?! Yeah, you're allowed to hate her a little bit now... just kidding :)
PS - sorry for the short notice, but if you hurry you could enter to win a $30 gift certificate that we're giving away to her readers... entries are due in 6 hours so hurry now!
Today's Sweet Treat: Sandy a la Mode!

This blog post is soooo far behind I am actually embarrassed to post it, but bare with me... it's going to be worth it!
So, about two months ago, I received the sweetest email from Sandy over at Sandy a la Mode. You see, Sandy has a fan-tab-u-lous blog that is full of so much great style and design that I was immediately hooked! But then the whip cream on this sweet treat came when... wait for it... I found out that Sandy lives in Kansas City which is only a hop, skip and a jump away from me! I love working with local gals and this collaboration was a no-brainer! I mean, check out this girl's style! It was a match made in heaven... :)

One Girl with a really great Closet (and style)!
Last week, I was thrilled to see this amazing post by Veronika of Girl and Closet. I became acquainted with Veronika through another wonderful blogger (who shall remain nameless right now, but will be partnering with gracie b. in the coming months) and I am beyond ecstatic to see how great she looks in the Lindy Top in Mint. I just love Veronika's easy style and that fedora... b-eau-ti-ful!
What's Old Is New Again
At any given point in time, it is possible to find at least a half dozen projects happening around my house or at gracie b. While working on my most recent project, I decided to take a few photos in hope of providing a little DIY inspiration. And, I have to say that this might be one of my most favorite projects to date.
The Stats:
What: Old wood buffet
Location: Found at Goodwill
Cost: $14 (tax included! YIPPEE!)
Target: Additional storage for "loft-like" master bedroom
 |
| The Before Shot |
Before doing anything, I sanded the top down really well. I didn't worry to sand the whole thing because 1) it's takes too much time and I don't have the patience and 2) I planned to use several coats of primer as well as a high gloss, primer tinted paint.
 |
| After Primer |
This was after probably 2 coats of primer. While a pain, it is a necessity during this process.
 |
| The most beautiful color red-orange in the whole, wide world! |
 |
| The end result! |
To finish, I cleaned up the original hardware and put them back on the buffet. A few accessories later, and I have now have the perfect place to store additional craft supplies! I absolutely could not be happier with the end result!
Ps - I love to see DIY projects. Please email me if you have one you'd like to share with our readers!
