Tape for your walls

Sincol is a Japanese company that has these amazing interior tape designs for your walls. What might even have caught my eye even more in this picture is that esquisite door! I feel like I could look at it forever.

Chalkboard project

Love everything about this idea. I'm on it as soon as I feel up to tackling a project with morning sickness! I've never been able to keep herbs alive very long since I don't think my yard gets enough sunlight. I'm not going to give up though. I use too many fresh herbs in my meals!

Makes me want some yummy tacos!

Happy Cinco De Mayo! Here is a little party thrown by the talented Ashly to get you in the mood!

bottle overload

When I saw these at William Sonoma, I fell instantly in love! here

Of course I love displaying pictures in my house, so I LOVE seeing new and interesting ways to do that! This was a display at a cute wedding found here

We did a bottle painting craft night, and I loved it!

Again, I guess anything with candy is going to make me happy, but how can you not love these amazingly cute candy filled bottles? Go here

got my eye on you

Who knew bugs could be so cool?

Beckett told his mom that he wanted a bug birthday party. To say that she delivered would be a complete understatement. Leave it to Natalie to make a bug party something that I would want for my next 28th birthday party! It was one of the funnest kids birthday parties I've ever been to. Not only did I feel like I was an entomologist right in the middle of the wild rain forest discovering new insect species, but we actually got to be an audience to Steve the Nature Guy. Steve brought some actual wild life...like bugs, lizards, snakes, etc. for our viewing pleasure. The kids were even allowed to hold and touch some of them! It was so so fun.

Yes, those are actual tree stumps she got off craigslist

Party Favors:

A jar of lady bugs and directions on how to release them into your garden!

Botanical prints

I like them.

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.

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!

Poufs!

What can I say, I love poufs! They seem to make a perfect addition to a nursery. If you are thinking about purchasing a glider of some kind, ditch their ottoman option and get a pouf instead! Check out this knitted pouf from CB2:

Or, (just in case you want to get kicked in the gut from a burst of unbelievable cuteness) visit Me Oh My Mama and see the amazing pouf she has in her adorable daughter's room!

I dress 90% for me

So for those of you with significant others with style, this might not be a post for you. I love my husband, but he doesn't have a stylish bone in his body! What can I say? Sometimes he thinks I dress crazy! I obviously want to remain attractive to him, but also I need to "do me".

For instance,

I could see him wanting me to sexy-it-up a bit more with a thinner heel like these cute shoes:

Though I would tend to go for these rounder wooden platforms by Lucky:

But I think we could both be impressed with these whimsical peep-toe beauties:

So ya, I dress for me mostly. And it's usually cute enough for Luke. He's not the best liar, but the important thing is, he tries! I'm lucky to have a guy that tells me I look great no matter what I'm wearing! (or not wearing)

What percentage are you!?

I'm thinking these socks

Naomi would rock these like a hurricane.
