Wardrobe Wednesday: Back to School

Since I'll be heading off to school here in the next week, I thought I''d put together the perfect first day of school outfit. I'm kind of a nerd in that I LOVE school supplies. I know in college the only "supplies" needed are pen and paper, which these days is really more like a laptop, but I still love going to buy pretty pens and notebooks, however unnecessary they may be, they still make me happy.

In love love with these bags

This necklace is so pretty!

Just the cutest little owl masks EVER!

Head over heels for these pretty headbands^_^

Love this sweet petal brooch

Today I've tried to be productive... Which really just means I watched new episodes of my favorite shows while I made pretty things. Tomorrow though, I am definitely going to get focused and make a list of everything that needs to get done before school starts {and actually do it}. OH and today I was featured on LDC designs blog, you should go check it out^_^

Sponsor: Along for the Ride

I would like to introduce you to the fabulous Laura of Along for the Ride. She's pretty lovely^_^

I'm Laura and I'm the lady behind along for the ride. I'm married to my handsome hubby Kyle and we have a black kitty cat named Jupiter. I work at a university overseeing a residence hall of about 400 students. Oh yea, and we live there too! When I'm not with my students, I love get crafty! I started my Etsy shop in May as a way to expand my crafty hobby. Before I was just making things for myself...and a girl can only wear so many pairs of earrings.

My blog is the place where I share craft projects, updates on my job at a university, and other life events and adventures. But above all of that, my blog is an outlet for worship. Being along for the ride isn't about taking a back seat or being apathetic along life's journey, nor is it about taking the journey lightly. For me, being along for the ride is about trusting in the Lord to guide your everyday moments and to be a constant companion on your journey to everlasting life.

Thanks so much Laura! 

If you haven't already, be sure to visit the Along For the Ride etsy shop^_^

Project 365

This year I have decided to take on the task of taking one picture a day for the entire year. The pictures will be random and fun, serious and meaningful, inspirational and creative, they will be anything and everything I can think up^_^ I'm excited to track my year with pictures and I'm excited to share the journey with you. If you should choose to do the same, leave me a link, I'd love to follow yours. You will be able to follow via the blog, twitter and instagram {pienthesky}. Welcome to Project 365!

3. Keep my car clean

4. Design a new blog look

5. Create fun new packaging

6. Finish my last year of school strong

7. Take more photos {one a day for Project 365 - more details to come}

8. Save more money

9. Spend more time with people I love
