Have a Happy Weekend!

Miss Heather and I hope you all have a happy weekend! Here are some posts from around the interwebs to tide you over until we are back on Monday!

Picture quote of the week. Love. 

I'm going to see The Vow this weekend! So excited!

Thoughts on clip-in hair extensions? I have a pair (given to me as a Christmas gift by Miss Heather!) and our friend, Ellen, just ordered herself some! They really do make your hair look super long and voluminous!

Miss Mel wearing her hair extensions.

A hilarious post by The Oatmeal on How to use a Semicolon.

Went to Zumba this week and this picture pretty much sums it up.

I've had this song stuck in my head all week.

"Wait, they don't love you like I love you, ma-a-a-a-ps, wait! They don't love you like I love you"

I'm dreaming about these crazy shoes. Eek! They're on sale!

Have you seen this video? The Death and Return of Superman?
It's hilarious and thanks to my lovely boyfriend, Tom, for sharing it!

I've recently become obsessed with Friday Night Lights. If you've never seen it before I HIGHLY recommend it!

Style Icon: Alexa Chung

Oh la la, it's Style Icon time.

 Alexa Chung is known for her modeling gigs, being a popular T.V. personality and a muse for top designers. She began modeling at the age of 16 for Elle Girl and Cosmo Girl and eventually worked her way up to walking the runway at the Vivienne Westwood Spring/Summer 2009 show at London Fashion Week. Switching over to television, she began to co-host a popular United Kingdom show, Popworld, covering entertainment news and even came to have her own show on the United State's television network, MTV, called It's On with Alexa Chung.

Now, you may ask, how did this chick become a muse of so many designers after being a model for a brief period of time and then a T.V. personality?

The answer is simple.

Her personal style is kickass. 

 The fashion gods *and Miss Mel and Miss Heather* sing her songs of praise.

Vogue's Anna Wintour described Alexa Chung as "a pheonomen". 

The New York Times declared Alexa as "the Kate Moss of the new generation." 

 Chanel's Karl Lagerfeld described her as "beautiful and clever...a modern girl." 

Goddamnit,why must she be so cool!?

Hobby Lobby!

Hobby Lobby, also known as crafting heaven. For those of you don't know what this beautiful store is it is a crafting superstore. They have everything from scrap-booking to fabric to picture frames! You want to make your own candles? Your clasp on your bracelet broke? Just need some markers? Go here!

I've really enjoyed using their yarn, but not just for knitting. I've used yarn instead of using plain string to hang many things up.

Their fabric selection is amazing. Sometimes I like to buy patterned cotton fabric and cut it into strips for an impromptu headband. Miss Mel and I have made many blankets by buying two large equal sized pieces of fleece fabric and tying them together (More on that at a later date!). They're super easy!

If you don't feel like making something they have cute boxes that all you have to do is decorate!

There are definitely times I'm not feeling the crafty vibe and that's when I can head to their home accents section of the store where they have things to decorate your home. There are things from wall art to lampshades to throw pillows!

I love going to Hobby Lobby! Even if I have nothing planned out, I walk in there and without fail inspiration hits me. Have fun crafting!
