My inner cowgirl

These hats by Cowgirl Swank are my new fashion obsession. I. Absolutely. Adore them to pieces. I love the funky fur and bling combo. If its got bling, I'll probably wear it ;)

I've been country line dancing for years, and this would make the perfect accessory to get my boot scootin boogie on (truly this is a name of a line dance). Yep I do live in Chicago, but I've always felt like I should have been born a country girl. I'm a total jean and boot rockin' kind of gal.

*I love country music.
*I love horses & horseback riding. (the goal is to someday have a ranch and a horse. My husband is not exactly on board with this plan)
*I love Tennessee, Nashville specifically. (this would be the idea location for my make believe ranch)
*Cowboys are dreamy.
*Southern hospitality really does exist.

Cowgirl Swank does custom hats, my only dilemma is which style do I choose?

My New Favorite Candle

One of my favorite gifts to get are... wait for it...

Candles.

I simple adore them. Need them. Seriously I don't think I could ever have too many. I love the way they flicker, and the way the light bounces shadows on the walls. They even have these great candles that give off a crackling sound, those are awesome. Also the more wicks the better.

And the scent. Every room in my house has a different smell from a candle.

Most of the ones I own are from Yankee Candle, and I do love them. (Beachwalk is my all-time fav.)

This year for Christmas I received a candle, and it has become my new favorite candle. It sits in my kitchen ontop of my stove so every time it heats up the candle permeates the air. It's delightful! The scent even not light is very aroma filled for sure. Hmmm.

This beautiful candle is by Swan Creek Candle Co.  in Spiced Orange & Cinnamon, which is great for the kitchen. They are a soybean candle.

I. Lovvvve. Them.

XOXO
