One of the Nashville bloggers I follow, Lauren at Old Red Boots, put it so well today when she wrote, "Like most bloggers, I have my periods of self-doubt and the sense of being lost. There are tons of really good bloggers out there and I find it hard to have my own voice and unique spot on the Internet."
But then I remember that I've never blogged for anybody else but myself. This is my little corner of the world to share and own as I see fit. So if I blog, I blog. If I don't, you probably won't even notice.
Still, I had to write about an accidental and amazing find from the weekend.

Isn't this old chair fab? Love it! It's a gorgeous grey color with pinstriped fabric. I was at Plato's Closet attempting to rid myself of old denim (and remembered how much I hate Plato's Closet and need to find a better local consignment shop) when I saw this little boutique in the strip mall called House of Stella.
The mannequins had the most ADORABLE dresses. So cute I was fawning over them. It was a lazy Sunday afternoon, and I got into a fantastic conversation with Felicia, one of the store's owners. She told me the story of how she and her daughter started the store, and I quickly fell in love with the place. And not only that, but much of the furniture in there is for sale too! I just had to take this little grey chair home with me. Isn't it the cutest? Perfect for that awkward gap space in my bedroom.
And the clothes are so adorable.

I especially loved two lines they carry, London's Sugarhill Boutique, and its American line Dear Creatures. I think that the clothes in this store are the style I aspire to, when I'm not falling back on basics from Target and Old Navy.

I think I may stop back in there for a birthday dress this week. And maybe an Easter dress. They actually keep most items under $100, so I love it for a well-deserved *local* splurge! I will probably stalk their sale rack regularly too.
If you're in the Nashville area, check them out for sure! A hidden gem I'll be rediscovering frequently.
