Casual Loves Elegance inspired by

Happy Friday

Inspiration...

 it comes from everywhere and we use it for everything!

 I first became aware of the blog world several years back from the Julia Child movie. 
Story of a young married women who wanted to take on the challenge of Julia's coveted cookbook. She cooked 365 days from the cookbook journaling it onto her blog.

LOVED... the movie.

I was talking with a friend who said she was a blogger soon after. 
 She showed me her blog she encouraged me to check it out.

 OMG I had no idea there was a world of micro magazines on the web!

 Of course I found the fashion world, then the design and food world. 

I was so inspired to start one.

Truth be known I didn't have a computer, I wasn't a photographer, writer and we had a dinosaur PC of my husbands that I didn't know a thing about.

Long story short, that one died and I had to buy one, My kids said I needed a MAC. 

Who doesn't go with what our kids know is best!!!

Naming the blog... was fun but I had no idea what to call it.

What will I write about, who will care?

I began thinking of our biggest obstacle when we first married. 

His house was dark, dated with brown interior, orange avocado green appliances....

yucky 50's -70's beach house. { I saw potential with the house}!!!

After we married I moved all my things in & you could see my things and his needed to come together!

I had to mesh our styles, he was a jock I was a girly model.

I began designing and decorating our homes to incorporate both our styles.

All of this inspired my blog name.

 I meshed our style to described us...

My husband is the casual

I brought the elegance

We love how our every day living marries both of our lifestyles.

The name was easy then...

CASUAL LOVES ELEGANCE
