Heel Challenge Finale

With a little tear I'm writing to you with my Heel Challenge Finale. Yes, the challenge is over and our bank account survived it!

It really was a silly little challenge between me and hubs, but these shoes created many fun conversations at work and with friends and inspired me to put away the everyday flats and get into some heels, whether I'm wearing a tee and jeans or a dress.

I'm starting to wonder if there's another challenge in my future... bags, accessories... what do you think? I may not be able to talk the hubs into it, but you never know...

July Heels... the finale

After taking a close look at the shoe collection I've created in the last year, thanks to the hubs and his "heel challenge," I realized I was missing an animal print of some kind. After searching through leopard prints, zebra prints, etc. etc.... I chose this snakeskin sandal from Elizabeth and James. I love its gray and mint green colors and its sandal yet ankle bootie character.

Well, the "heel challenge" is officially over. (A tear is falling down my check...)

Check the blog soon for a complete look back over last year's "heel challenge..."

Why Beloved Indeed?

When you brand a name for yourself... its hard. It takes something original. Something someone will remember. And to me... it means you have a story behind it.

My story started my 6th year in college, finally... my senior year. My last project was a "personal packaging system." The assignment was to tell your story through a packaging family; a logo, a brand, and four pieces of packaging that were my choice. Since I was in my first year of marriage, love was the only thing on my mind. Not knowing what to call my packaging I started with researching my family origins... beginning with the meanings of names. First... Caleb and Ashley... then Davis (my maiden name) and Zwar (my married name. Bingo! Davis means, "son of David, Beloved." Zwar means, "indeed (in German)."

From there I created a packaging system that told the story of dancing with my dad in the basement to finding "true love" in highschool to dancing with my groom at our wedding.


When I started branding my own custom stationery business I knew the name would be Beloved Indeed. There wasn't a question in my mind. My brand tells the story of a little girl who dreamed all her life that she would find her prince charming. My brand is inspired by my families. The family who taught me to love and the one who will love me for the rest of my life. To the people who have loved me, encouraged me, and stood by me... this is my brand... Beloved Indeed.

May Heels (Introduced in June)





























Because I was so busy in May (check out previous post for details...) the hubby let me slip this one time and get my May heels in June. At least I was only one day off from May!

I've been looking for a fun pair of white heels and with only a few more months left in my 'heel challenge' the classics that must be in every girl's closet are becoming a necessity.

April Shoes

Now how fun are these! I've been looking for a fun patterned heel and here it is thanks to JCrew.

I'll admit I had a bit of a hard time this month choosing just one pair (in my price range.) With only three more months to go its getting tricky to figure out what I don't have in my collection...

March Heels





























With one day to spare... here are my March heels.

I've got my eye on a pair of Kate Spade's ... and some pretty chic sandals but until the weather really starts warming up these will do. Plus I think they'll look great with jeans or a little dress or skirt.

DIY Headboard

In this new economy, I think we're all looking for creative and cheap ways to update old rooms without spending a fortune on furniture, wall accents, and lamps...

Here's me and the hubby's take on a new headboard... a curtain rod, a panel curtain with pockets from Ikea, and some curtain clips. Plus, it takes care of our storage issue for our books, notebooks, etc. that we leave by the bedside.

A Pair of Heels a Month

























After wearing heels to work two days in a row this week... while clip clopping around on our hardwood floors, my hubby said, "If you wear heels more often you can buy one pair every month..." Imagine my delight!!! I love him!

So I present to you... August... although they are no Louboutins... they are pretty... I heart.

Trash the Dress





























After three years... I held my breath and squeezed back into my wedding dress for a post wedding/trash the dress shoot! So ' On top of the world ' in Laguna Beach and in a cool retro laundry mat we came across, I carried my pink balloons and enjoyed being a bride again. All the love and thanks go to my good friends, Kyle and Allison, at Studio 28... I hope that you guys find great success and joy in the venture that you are taking together... you are my inspiration... LOVE!
