1. i need a case 2. it has to be cute

In the past week my phone has found itself in some interesting places. I have a daughter who
1. loves my phone and
2. loves to put things "awayya" for me.

While finding my phone in a doll house, under bitty baby blankets, in a Fischer price car, under the Christmas tree, and in a high chair is semi-adorable it also got me thinking....
1. I should really keep my phone out of her reach..duh and
2. I should REALLY get a protective case for it.

So I began browsing pinterest and etsy to find a cute case that would
 1. protect my phone and
 2. satisfy my need for everything to be "adorable".

An otter box just won't do. My creative taste simply says ABSOLUTELY NOT. I ordered one this afternoon. I'll show you some of my faves and see if you can guess my choice!

Completely customizable too! Score!

I know, I want to buy more than one too. I could definitely justify  purchasing a  daily case, evening case , or an i'm feeling funky case.

Can you guess which one I bought?!

Water for Elephants Style and Theme {New OBSESSION}

When I love a book, I LOVE IT HARD. I start it and finish it often in one day. I can't tell you HOW many times I've seen the book Water for Elephants and thought...hmmm.....maybe? and put it back. DUMB!

Reese has always been a favorite actress and a major style crush of mine. Enter my motiviation.  Started and finished it on Saturday. For you moms? You could TOTALLY read it over the course of three nap-times.

 It's a great story. Circus. the 30's. love. scandal. affairs.  elephants. betrayal. freaks you love.danger. sequins. a real hero of a man. I kinda can't stop thinking about it.  I'm sprinkling this post with lovely carnival inspired etsy finds and other eye candy *ahem non-vampire robert*.
