chucks.

Ok so I'm a girl that loveloveloves her heels. I love pumps, wedges, boots with massive heels, whatever. The taller the better I say. I loathe flats (unless they are flip flops and I'm at the pool). Seriously, I don't own any flats, except for flip flops.

Until recently.

Good ole Big Sister Burg lives in flats. She's the mom of two and is constantly chasing Big Dub around. But Big Sister Burgess is also super stylish and finds the cutest flats around!

If you've spent any time around the Hicks Girls, you know we have a deep, passionate love in our hearts for Nordstrom. Ahh. Nordstrom. It makes me happy (even though the one downtown Indy closed last month...lets not talk about it. I don't feel like crying today.) What makes us even happier??? The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! ahhh. bliss.

Well Big Sister Burg found some awesome sparkly/glittery/shimmery Chuck Taylors at the Anniversary Sale. Since there is no Nordy's in Evansville, she ordered two pairs--trying to figure out the right size for her feet. One pair was too big.

Guess who got that pair???

ME! I officially own my first pair of super glam and super rock star Chuck Taylors!! I actually own flats!
It's the small things in life people.

Aren't these so fab??

TMP Week #1: Glittered Candles

Alright kids...it's official. The Martha Project (TMP) has officially begun!!!!!!!!!!!!

(is anyone as excited as I am? ok, just checking.)

It's week #1 and I was searching through my daily emails from good ole Martha and I came across this lovely project. Glittered.Candles. Hello??? Is this not perfect for me??

Luckily, I had these plain jane candlesticks hanging out on my little table...just looking like they needed some glitter.
So, I got out my supplies. Now Martha says that you should use spray adhesive, and I'm sure that would probably be easier to work with.

I, however, did not have any at home, so I just used her glitter glue.
I had all of this Martha glitter in my craft stash--and I'm always looking for fun ways to use it. (P.S. I lovelovelove glitter. Just an FYI.)
And here's the final product!!! Don't they look so awesome!!
Seriously, why have plain candles when they can look so freaking fabulous with a little Martha glitter!

And then I decided I needed a candle for my bathroom (which is in a bunch of different colors), so I went with an orange glittered pillar. Love it!

Oh my gosh, I LOVE this Martha Project idea!! Week #1 was so fun! And my house is going to look so fantastic!!!!
