Have you ever purchased glasses online? I haven't yet (need a new Rx first!), though it's been recommended to me more than a few times. I'll be honest- it seems a little sketchy to me not to be able to try them on first. But what if you could get your first pair for free? More enticing, yes?
Good thing Firmoo exists : ).

Travel Cat

I'd like to introduce you to Travel Cat. I cut him out of a 1970s children's encyclopedia two moves ago, and he's hung on (thanks to masking tape) to this lamp post ever since. Even while in a moving van, with plenty of chances to fall off. That's loyalty, if you ask me.

Wedding Photos: Portraits

It's portrait time! Our (semi-awkward) "first look" was at the winery where our wedding took place, but then we ventured to a super-small, super-cute town nearby for some fun in a general store, in a field, and in a tunnel. I love all of them, but the sunset photos might be my favorite (I'm aware of the cheese factor. Sue me.) : ). Enjoy!

L-R: Matt's sister (Alicia), brother-in-law (Jason), nephew (Gavin), dad (Wayne), mom (Machele), Matt, me, my mom (Brenda)

Down By The River

In our continued quest to get to know our new city a bit better, Matt and I ventured down to the RiverWalk last week. It's a boardwalk/paved trail that runs alongside the Congaree River, and has some really pretty viewpoints to its name. If it was a bit closer to my house, I would definitely be doing my runs there.

I (purely accidentally) matched my top to the greenery surrounding the pathway. I love that everything is so lush here, but the mosquitoes that come with the lushness are a different story. I swear that they are mutant, robot mosquitoes, programmed to attack me as much as possible. Oh well...it'll be pants season soon, yes? I've got my fingers crossed. 

Wearing: Top/Vintage; Pants/UO; Shoes/Tuto; Necklace/Target; Bag/Thrifted

Happy Monday to you! I have a feeling that this is going to be a great week : )

Hutch Cabinet: A Re-style

It became apparent as soon as we moved into our new apartment that we desperately needed more storage space; specifically, more space for Matt's books. But unfortunately, as it sometimes goes when you get married and then immediately move across the country, there's not a ton of extra money lying around to be spent on new furniture. So, to Salvation Army we went.

As you can see, we came back with a real...looker. Missing molding, nonexistent cabinet handles, chips and scratches like you wouldn't believe- but we both saw the potential. Also, please excuse the just-moved-in mess. Things are were still finding their homes.

Matt We added some caulk and wood putty, and bought new handles. Sanded, primed, and painted our way to this...

Yay! She's still not perfect, but looks pretty damn good for setting us back only $25.

What do you think? Have you ever done a re-style like this? I'd love to see : )
