My love for cute chalkboards

What an adorable esty shop this is.

I can't wait to find a reason to buy myself one!

Urban vertical garden

Love this urbio indoor garden. It's modern and would add so much to an urban space!

Squirrels, really?

Our last beach trip, squirrels came to our spot while we were playing in the ocean and ate a huge hole in my beach tote! I was pretty bummed since I have loved that bag. I'm on a search for another one that is as cute, reasonably priced and quite large at the same time. Do you have a favorite beach bag?

This is calling to me.

Great clothes, even better prices!

Fashionista Rachel has a blog selling her adorable used pieces! This is a win win!

Stacey also sells used clothing pieces at her Love & Photographs.

This is a great way to shop and save some serious cash on some great fashion pieces!

Happy shopping!

Missoni has been busy

Missoni and bugaboo collaborate!

I'm excited about Missoni for Target. September 13, 2011 is the date for the launch as of right now. Can't wait!

Crushing on

Check out this fun drink dispenser here!

And these adorable butterfly frames:

I would check out the topshop bags, they are all amazing, here!

Lastly, I would really like an iphone/ipod dock like you find here

Where are all my knock offs at?

Because there sure aren't a lot out there with this beautiful silhouette.

Behold this Marc Jacobs Simone dress.

I would feel like such a lady wearing it.

Too bad there aren't many dresses/skirts out there with this flowy & feminine look that wouldn't require me to sell a piece of furniture to afford it.

(cue sigh)

Tucker, you make me cry

Why can't your line for Target be even close to the cuteness as this?

You're killing me Tucker.

You can find these here if you have a few hundy to spare.

Style Notes by Belen

One of my favorite style gurus is my good, long time friend Belen. She is a stylist in L.A. and always seems to look polished and well put together. I go to her style blog to get inspiration and ideas on a regular! Check her out and give her a follow, here. You won't be disappointed!

I'm always excited for her give-aways too.

Wedge your way into my heart

Rock and Republic, these. You know I'm a sucker for stripes.

these, Seychelles are my go-to brand. I always fall in love.

these, a hidden gem. You have to sort through a lot of bad to get to the good!

these, Jeffrey Campbell knows how to design out of the box. One word; unique!

these, Sam always brings the heat.

persimmon and pink

Persimmon and Pink, oh I how love thee.

One thing I think all homes need are personal touches that mean something. It's easy to pack your house full of beautiful things, because let's be honest, there are a lot of beautiful things out there. The hard part is making it homey and personal, but keep the style factor in tact. I struggle with home decor when it comes down to it, but I am a big believer in being uplifted by your surroundings. Do they get more uplifting than these?

They have so many options and I want them all!

Check them out here and get your shop on!

eye catching

Who doesn't love a good two-tone satchel right now? It's casual, but still polished looking. I find it's a great way to pump up the volume and make neautrals more exciting, especially this amazing TopShop bag:

Not only is it two-toned, but check out the different textures that are going on!

It is a perfect neutral accessory to show off your pops of color, like these hot wood bangles:

Ok, so maybe a pop of color is an understatement, but you guys know I don't shy away from color!

Speaking of,

I'm kind of excited that neon is the trend for spring.

What do you guys think? Yay or nay?

I am loving the idea of a neon pink lipstick, like the color funny face by NARS.

Gotta have it!

moccasin meets boat shoe

Zara! Boat shoes in bright colors! Well, a mix between a moccassin and a boat shoe, right? I would love for Grant to wear that blue pair everyday this summer, though I can see them getting dirty pretty fast. Also, does the sole have to be so thick? One of the improvements I would like to tackle for my line of boat shoes. There has to be something done to that price too, let's be honest.
