Weekly Wears: Movie Moment Dress

ModCloth has recently started carrying several different Eva Franco dresses, and quite frankly, I'm smitten.  I was asked to style this pretty heart-covered dress (which is PERFECT for Valentine's Day) while here in Florida.  This dress is so cute as is, or would be just as darling with a lovely cardigan and clutch for a special night out. 

Dress/belt: Eva Franco Movie Moment Dress via ModCloth;  
Heart Headband: Giant Dwarf (borrowed from Elsie);
Shoes: Swedish Hasbeens;  Necklace: handmade

This is THE BEST dress to twirl in.  You know... in case you're that kind of girl.  ;)
Have a lovely Thursday!  xoxo Katie

Hello From Disney

I don't know if I've said this previously, but this is my very first time at Disney.  I'm not a theme park fan (at all), but there have definitely been some magical points.  The Japan store at Epcot?  So fun!  Watching the lady cut out tiny silhouettes of my kids?  Amazing!  Going on the "It's a Small World Ride"?  Heaven.  Just... can I please live in there?  I'm considering moving to Florida so I can work in that ride.  Okay, maybe that isn't a true statement, but in my dreams...

Here's a bit of "Music Monday" love for you as well.  I stayed up waaaaay too late watching episodes of Austin City Limits the other night, and I was reminded all over again of my love for Joanna Newsom.



We are off to the beach today because my poor little ankles can't handle anymore walking.  It's a good trade if you ask me.  Have a wonderful day, friends!  xoxo Katie

Florida Bound

Nope.  We are not Florida bound, actually.  We are here already!  Tonight is for relaxing, eating take-out in bed, and enjoying early bedtimes.  If you want to follow along with our vacation, you can find me on Instagram under skunkboycreatures.  If you don't have an iPhone, you can view my Webstagram here


I'm also doing a little call for sponsors, because... well... it's almost that time again!  If you are interested in sponsoring Skunkboy Creatures in February, you can check out my sponsor page or email sponsorskunkboy@gmail.com. 

Have a lovely weekend, friends!!  I can't believe we escaped the 29 degree, sleeting weather in MO and slipped into the glorious 80s here in Florida.  I'm feeling very spoiled and grateful right now.

Weekly Wears: BananaRama

Have you ever had a pair of tights that you plan your whole outfit around?  Yep.  I adore these tights.  My husband (who knows me oh-so well) got these for me for Christmas, and they immediately shot to the top of my "most fun to wear" list.  Sure, I get some sideways glances from older ladies when I'm out and about, but I really don't care.  I just wear what I love.  It makes me happy.

Dress: vintage from Red Velvet;  Sweater: old old old;  Tights: ModCloth;
Shoes:  c/o Lulu's;  Necklace: handmade (Hope has the other half of the bf)

So... we are leaving for Florida today (yay)!  I still haven't packed or anything, so I'm off to do a whole lot of that right now!  I will still be blogging while we are on vacation, so you'll get to see peeks of our fun time.  
Have a great day!  xoxo Katie

Believe That Everything is Possible.

Whether you make "new years resolutions" or not, at some point this year you may find yourself making and completing goals.  I love new year goals... not the difficult/impossible kind, but the kind that make me excited and motivated for the coming months!

Recently, my friend Shana started this little project where she was hand-embroidering some pieces to send out to friends... and then her list started growing... and kept growing... I think she may STILL be working on more pieces to send out.  I received mine on my birthday (along with one of her AMAZING watches, which I am in total love with), and even though I'd seen them on Instagram, it was extra special in person.  "Believe that everything is possible in 2012."  Yes.  Yes!  In our house that will be our theme for this whole year. 


Everything IS possible in 2012!  If any time this year I am feeling less than positive, I will repeat this to myself.  It's such a good reminder to look forward and be excited about all life has in store for (all of) us.  

I also wanted to send out a HEARTFELT thank you for all of the birthday wishes!!!  I had an amazing birthday and I'm so grateful to every, single person who sent me a message or comment.  I <3 you!!

xoxo Katie
