    I sent this out in an email to a few of my dear sweet friends this morning, courtesy of the Cartolina iPhone app. If you have an iPhone & you love sending personalized messages, this is the app for you. It’s truly one of my favorites and the messages can be sent via email, text or posted on your facebook.

    sassy starter : under the sea

    Posted in: fantasy, i heart., Sassy Starter

    Take a trip Under the Sea with Jason de Caires Taylor and his fascinating art.

    [La Evolución Silenciosa]

    I first learned of him through the skirt! Daily Muse back in November and have drifted back to his images time and time again.

    Sometimes you just want to take a break and ponder what life would be like Under the Sea …..

    When you need a little more than a smile or a cup of tea to get your week in motion, the Sassy Starter will be here every Monday to get your wheels turnin’ in a classy – sassy – fabulous sort of way

    { birthday week give away }

    Posted in: anniversary., celebration, i heart.

    Question: What do rosebud, Audrey, sleep, Lizzy Bennet, hands, & a brooch all have in common?

    Answer: They’re all part of the Sassy Steel Magnolia’s Birthday Week Give Away!

    That’s right, for The SSM’s 1 Year Birthday Celebration one lucky reader will take home, actually open their mail box, to a bag full of goodies.  Call it a Sassy Steel Magnolia Survival Guide of sorts, as it contains a few of my personal favorite items.

    Smith’s Rosebud Salve – you should really never leave home with out it.
    Breakfast at Tiffany’s on DVD – a staple in every SSM’s movie library.
    Eye Mask – sometimes you need a good dose of beauty sleep ;)
    Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen – need I even bother explaining this one? Love.
    L’Occitane Travel Size Cherry Blossom Hand Cream – soft hands are always a necessity.
    Antique Brooch from Sara Bell Treasures on Etsy- quick and easy way to sass up an outfit.

    #3 – Like Me: Be a fan of The SSM facebook page, leave a comment on the wall or drop a note under one of the posts. *Bonus points if you share something, just send me a message to make sure I catch it!

    I do love a Give Away – so much fun! And besides, every celebration calls for a party favor, right?

    Fashion Hat

    Posted in: i heart., inspiration, Random

    I think every girl (and any decent guy) knows a thing or two about the world of fashion.  Even if it’s the basic color wheel, there’s a bit of a Fashion Hat sitting in all of our closets. I think it all started with dressing Barbie (and making sure GI Joe still looked good enough to catch Barbie’s eye for you fellas reading this).  Regardless of how it started, here’s your chance to play Barbie dress up again, in a more grown-up sort of way of course.

    A month ago my friend Shauna of Mackenzie Image Consulting tapped me into a little secret: Couturious. And let me tell you – this little secret of her’s has turned into a bit of an addiction for me. I’ve literally caught myself on the site for hours creating outfits, looking through and hearting other outfits, coming up with certain things to wear for certain places. I had forgotten how much fun putting on your Fashion Hat and playing Stylist can be!

    You can pick the model (I’m a bit partial to the red head, go figure), the back drop, the shoes, the clothes, the bags, the accessories – all of it.  So addicting and so much fun.  As you can see, I’m not the most high powered fashion kind of gal but I do love having that kind of virtual closet at my disposal.

    So when you have a little spare time, put on your Fashion Hat, set up an account at Couturious.com (add me! TheSSMOnline) and give your inner stylist a work out session.  But you might want to set an alarm or wait till you get home, I’d hate for you to get carried away in the middle of the day…..

    It’s the Little Things….

    Posted in: i heart., things

    ……that pop up here and there when you least expect them that spark the most joy and inspiration.  The further I dig into the blogosphere and world of flickr I’m learning this lesson times a pound.

    I wanted to share some of the things, the pictures and such, I’ve come across when browsing the World Wide Web. I pass by tons on the internet and always think, hmm that’s an awesome shot or that is my kind of color combination right there. And so today dear readers, I decided to give you:

    Thursday :: A Day of Things

    Royal Lace Pink

    weekend pleasures
