Things I'm Loving Friday

I'm definitely loving DIY Glitter projects this week! I always love a good craft project and lately glitter has been on my mind. I've seen a few people doing things with glitter, so I decided to go to Michael's and buy 3 jars of glitter - silver, red, and multicolor and get to work :)

First I covered some paper pears in glitter.
 

Then I decided to cover some bottle caps in glitter and hopefully loop them together into a strand for decoration. They kind of look like tiny peppermint patty wrappers lol.

Then I did some picture frames.

I'm definitely loving how they all turned out and I'm in the process of finishing things up by sealing the glitter so that it doesn't shed on everything. I definitely have a big glitter mess to clean up just from the creations :)

I'm definitely loving that it's pretty much time for College and NFL Football to be back! I used to never really be a huge sports fan, but the past few years I've really gotten into a lot of them. I watch NBA, Golf, NFL, and NCAA Football. At Old Navy, where I work, we have a whole section for NCAA and NFL football merchandise. I just bought an Atlanta Falcons and Georgia Bulldawgs t-shirt today. Even though I've lived in Georgia my whole entire life, these are the first sports shirts I've actually owned :) The shirt pictured below is one of the ones we sell at Old Navy - here. It's not the one I bought, but it's pretty close.

I'm definitely loving True Blood this week!
























I recently bought books 1 - 10 of the Sookie Stackhouse set, which the HBO series is based on. I had planned to just read the books, but I stumbled across a way to watch the past 4 seasons of the HBO series and started watching before I started reading. I made it all the way through season 1 and decided I should look into the first book before moving on to watch season 2.

As I was reading, I realized that it was really close to what I had watched, except it was lacking a few characters and was not as detailed about Jason's sex life, ha. However, the main theme was exactly the same and even some of the stuff was word for word. Now, I don't know about you, but when it comes to me, I can't watch something and then read it. I have a hard time concentrating on something when I already know what happens. I only have this issue with reading, not watching.

So I've decided to stop watching True Blood at the end of Season 1 and read all 10 of the Sookie Stackhouse books first. That way, I can enjoy the books and then get to see where the HBO series takes it afterward. If there is any overlapping or similarities, it won't ruin the books for me because I will have already read them. I think the reason why it bugged me so much is because it's still so fresh in my mind not to ignore how close they were. Here's to hoping this works!

I'm definitely loving books this week! Since I'm taking the semester off, I have a lot of time to just read and do whatever. I've read two Augusten Burroughs books so far and I'm starting my third one today, A Wolf At The Table, which is a memoir about his father. I was so incredibly happy when it came in the mail today! I'm hoping this book will be as good as Possible Side Effects and Running With Scissors were. I also just ordered some of the books that True Blood are based on. I've heard some good reviews from friends and others, so I'm hoping they are good reads :)

I'm definitely loving seashells and ocean related things this week! Mostly because I just got back from the beach :) I always make sure to collect some seashells whenever I'm at the beach, and this time I got a lot of them.

I'm definitely loving vintage movie posters this week. I've always had a thing for vintage stuff, and movie posters is just one of the things that tops that list. If you look back to my Art Walk-Through, you can see my Alfred Hitchcock movie 'Vertigo' poster. I also have a Audrey Hepburn 'Funny Face' poster.

My boyfriend recently said I could hang whatever I want on the huge wall we have in the living room. Right now we have giant canvases of a friend's work, but they are not hanging properly and seem to darken and cheapen our space a lot. So, I decided to buy six 11x17 picture frames and purchase some vintage movie posters to place there! I haven't received the picture frames yet, but here is a look at the posters I bought. I tried to stay in the Alfred Hitchcock Theme :)

Rear Window, To Catch a Thief, North by Northwest, Dial "M" for Murder, The Man That Knew Too Much, and Rope.

The only movie out of the set that I haven't watched is Rope, but I do love James "Jimmy" Stewart. Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant are two of my faves.

I'm definitely loving the plethora of peasant tops I've been seeing lately. We even have some at Old Navy, where I work, that I definitely want to purchase when they go on sale. So far I've only purchased maybe 3 peasant style tops from Sears, Kohls, and Old Navy. Below are a few of my favorites from a few of my favorite stores.

Floral & Medallion Smocked Peasant Top @ Kohls























I scored this peasant top at Kohls for only $7.99! It was on sale at my local store for $17.99 and I had $10 Kohl's Cash that I put toward it. I love Kohl's for their great coupons and incentives.

Heart & Soul Embroidered Peasant Top @ Kohls























While browsing the Kohl's website, I came across this beauty. I love the simplicity and details all wrapped up in one shirt. Definitely wish they would have had this one on sale at my local store.

Gauze Mexicali Top @ Old Navy





















I have to definitely give a shout out to this Old Navy peasant top. It was the first one I saw that made me love this style all over again. When it came in at my store, I fell in love...but unfortunately it still hasn't went on sale. Even though I get a discount, I want it to be a bit cheaper before I buy it. I'm really loving the unique colored stitching and the sweet colored flowers at the top.

Siesta Peasant Top @ Forever 21























This peasant top has the most stitching detail of them all. I love how there is a bit of color and detail on every part of this top. The detail on the front is not only gorgeous but very authentic looking.
