1.) Tiny houses. This cure pink home was designed by architects Margarita McGrath and Scott Oliver in the Brooklyn borough of New York. On average, these little house are 983 square feet of living space. Not so sure if it'd be the best living space for a family, but my little cat, dog, and I would fit just fine. I don't think my large collection of antique/shabby chic furniture would fit, though. (Source.) 2.) These two: Mr. & Mrs. Mucek! My beautiful and fun-loving cousin, Ashley, got married to Darek last weekend. Currently, they're basking in the sun in the tropics on their...

For years I have thought about getting a mermaid tattoo. It wasn't until recently that I thought, "Why not?" and my mother said, "I knew you'd have one on your body sooner or later."

Ashley tried her hardest to find someone with a large...

You know that you've got a great friend when she offers to let your borrow a vintage dress that belonged to one of her family members. That's how I acquired this adorable little red dress. One of my best friends, Cassie, let me borrow this fancy little vintage find. It was either her grandmother's or her mother's dress. Beautiful, isn't it? I wore this dress to Ashley and Darek's wedding rehearsal and dinner this past Friday night. I think that it was a perfect occasion to wear this little get-up. The dress is made of soft red silk with a satin center...
