Happy Friday!

I am particularly happy today because it is almost the start of a long weekend! And I just booked a trip to the Bahamas in February (insert sunglasses emoji here). A few other things that are making me smile:

+ This Buzzfeed article about gummy bear reviews on Amazon (died laughing at work)..

+Aerin Lauder saw my blog post about her and sent me the most thoughtful gift. As if I could like her more... P.S. I love the Ikat Jasmine

+ This puppy (and others like him)

+ Chanel Pre-Fall 2014. Just because. Yea

Things I like - January

Hi everyone! Below are a few of my favorite things lately (sort of a hodge podge). I'm loving the adorable print (East coast girls are hip...), cozy blanket and adorable Nina Ricci clutch (isn't it divine??) I recently saw on Instagram a picture of someone's matchbook collection and it was so so cool. How cute are the spotted ones below?? Makes me want to start collecting. The matte black globe could add a cool touch to the home and I've been obsessed with that Hans Wegner chair since I saw a set around a gorgeous dining table in an issue of House and Home (awesome magazine btw..). Last but not least, I think I'm going to have to get a return address stamp from Paper Pastries. How cute are those envelopes?? I hope you all have a great rest of the week (TGIT)! P.S.

Colorful Kitchen Cabinets

While I love a great white kitchen, I've seen some amazing kitchens with fun cabinets in blues, grays and greens. The colors definitely make the kitchens unique and make a nice white backsplash pop. Below are a few of my favorites.

Pre-Spring Closet Update

This is the time of year when I start to crave all aspects of spring, particularly Spring clothing and accessories. This spring I'm loving pink in every shade (especially neon!), 70's styles, nude pieces that won't wash me out, floral everything and bright red pieces. Below are some pieces I am obsessed with. Like, it's bad. How about that red BCBG dress that is the dress Maria Menounos wore to GG's in pink?? LOVE. I'm also loving the fun  finderkeepers romper. It is a subtle cutout and I love the cut. I also adore newcomer Emma Cook's fun 70's-ish dress and the hot pink J. Brand top and finderskeepers skirt (not together, of course). What pieces are you dying to add to your wardrobe for Spring?
