A-Z Series: Z Is For

Today is a bittersweet day as it is the last day of the A-Z Series.  What makes me so happy, though, is that one of my favorite bloggers is here to share the last day with us.  The fabulous Erika from small shop is here with us today! Have you seen her Style at Home feature on the Glitter Guide yet?! It is absolutely breathtaking.  Her blog is a daily read for me and a main source of inspiration.

.......... 

Hello, it's Erika from small shop! How lucky am I to round out the entire series with such a fun letter? There are a ton of "z" words that are quite trendy these days. Plus a few other faves of mine:
zinc // zebra // zig zag // zippers// zara
And I do love me some Zoolander.

..........

Well, you really nailed Z on the head, Zach Galifianakis and all, Erika! How chic is that zebra rug?  I love. And if Wisconsin could just get a Zara like yesterday, I would be a happy camper.

I also obviously love Zhush, and I really, really do love Z Gallerie.  Have you checked out their site yet? Amazing-ness.  I honestly want every single piece.

Thank you so much, Erika and to all those who participated in this series! It has been a blast putting it together and seeing everyone's picks!  

Did you miss part of the series? Take a peek here.

    Z-Gallerie by far takes the cake for me! Love it. I wish Ft. Worth had one but Dallas & Houston both do. Congrats on completing the series, girl! It was amazing... thoroughly enjoyable!
