Friday Favorite: Hot Air Balloons

I actually featured hot air balloons as one of my very first inspiration photo features wayyyyyy back when this little blog first started. But I was re-inspired (is that a word?!) last week while I was doing errands in Franklin and there were 6 floating overhead. That's one beautiful thing about Franklin... at any given time during the year, you can almost always look up and see a hot air balloon or two! I'm not even sure why. I'd definitely be down for a ride, though! Here are some gorgeous, awe-inspiring photos of those little balloons! Enjoy!

Have you ever been up in a hot air balloon? If so, what was it like? If not, would you ever?

Friday Favorite: Pink hair!

If I could have any hair color in the world, I'd have a very light, cotton-candy pink. I'm not too sure how well that would compliment my skintone but boy oh boy, I'd jump at the chance! If I knew my hair wouldn't positively fall out and I wasn't a total wuss, I'd dye it this very instant. Instead, I shall live vicariously through others! Here's a collection of sweet candy haired ladies that I'm lovin!

(Sidenote: I told the girls at school yesterday that if I were to show up at our senior show with pink hair to just roll with it haha. Maybe I'll give it a shot after graduation... Meh. Give me your tips if you've got 'em! Can I even achieve something like that with my naturally dark hair?!) I'm not into the whole scenie-weenie bit of the first photo, but the first two are the *exact* shades I'd love to rock.

You get the idea! Have you ever had pink hair? What about other colors? Would you do it again? And even better – Any of you had naturally dark hair like myself and went for a cotton candy color?!

I've found myself obsessing about my hair for far too long and I'm not even crazy about it! Everyone and their mother now has red hair. I didn't go red to "be different" but I've had it for a year and a half... I think it's time to put on some big girl pants and change! I'm so afraid of change but I think I'm ready to just throw that out the window! If it looks bad, well, I can always change it, right?! :)

Friday Favorite: Clouds!

Nothing beats some nice shots of pretty clouds on such a cold cold (and dreary) day here in Tennessee! Winter has come early... and we're trying to hold off on turning the heat on as long as possible! Eek!

PS; Thank you so much for the kind comments about Pip. She did really well throughout the night minus a few accidents (poor thing). She's snoozing beside me now. She's navigating the stairs up and down on her own. She's also eating and running around outside. Mike and I took the girls out last night before bed and Pip started running around chasing Georgia and we just stood on the sidewalk and cried while hugging. We feel such a weight lifted from our hearts. She hasn't been as playful as usual, but we're hoping that may come back with time. xo

Friday Favorites: Cameos!

I used to have a very favorite cameo brooch that I would attach to almost everything. I'm thinking I lost it in the flood because I definitely haven't seen it in the last six months. Quite disheartening as it was a wardrobe staple almost. Nevermind that, because I took to the internet to find a new one (and ended up with 2 or 3!). This is the one that arrived first, and I sported it on my dress yesterday. Typically I would stay away from things like this as I already look "different" enough, but I couldn't help but love how dainty it seemed with the gold ornate frame! After looking at it I realized that I could probably make them no problem, and I'm tempted to start making cameo items for my etsy in December! (Thoughts? Would you buy cameo items? Rings/Brooches/Pendants?) Either way, I'm at least going to do it for myself because I love them! And following - lots of other cameo treasures!

They're just so pretty to look at!
