Ruffled Emotion

The eyes of our great big world are always zoomed in on the sexy, the exotic, the grandeur, and the lavish glamor. But...we can't forget the cuddly, adorable, sweet things with lots of cuteness swirled on top!

A woman can replace the hard appearance of life with soft beauty,
add grace to the rat race,
and give gentle love instead of fierce selfishness.
Never loose your identity to any pressures to plow harshly through life filled with self-centered attempts to be sexy, powerful, and accepted. Women have a strong presence in society without conforming to empty demands.

SO....just chill.
Let yourself be adorable,
keep your heart sweet,
bless your loved ones,

and love the life you live!



And what defines ADORABLE more than ruffles?! I'm a ruffle girl.
Ruffles are flirty but still innocent, playful and sweet, the perfect accent for a girl's life.

My favorite clothing company,

  2. We must think alike, because I LOVE those websites too. I have been trying to convince Ben that we NEED the tuxedo ruffled bedspread from Anthroplogie. I check their website literally every day. :)

  15. Have you read the Fancy Nancy books? I love them, I am such a Fancy Nancy and love, love, love ruffles. I had seen so many of the Anthropologie ones, but some of the others were new. I did a post on a ruffled purse like the one on the car door, so easy. I also bought fabric to do a tablecloth like the all white one, but haven't got around to that yet. Thanks for such eye candy.

I SO treasure EVERY comment. I am not able to respond individually to each one anymore, although I TRULY wish I could! It is hard for me to say that because I love hearing from everyone and sharing back. I still try my best, but it may take awhile! :)

ALSO, I am unable to link up to new link up parties due to time constraints. Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you for EACH lovely note! <3 I appreciate YOU.
