blue skies and sunshine

The only thing keeping me sane this week is the prospect of our travels to the South Caribbean.  Can't wait to explore La Romana, Grand Turk, Curacao & Aruba. Any travel tips for us?  Here's to blue skies and sunshine (oh, and reflective lenses and looking hot in a one-piece).

Design porn.  Thats right, I said it.  Emily Henderson's old fashioned Studio City house tour is insane.  The continuity throughout the house is effortlessly chic and the playroom is beyond.  From the monster shelving unit displaying ombre painted mason jars, to the wall wide chalkboard adorned in kiddie art and gold dipped frames to eclectic accessories - insane.

gold + avocados

When I saw this post on A Fabulous Fete, I instantly knew I'd have to post about it.  My two favorite things in life, gold + avocados showcased in perfect DIY harmony.  Check out the insane DIY and browse A Fabulous Fete for creative entertaining ideas.  Seriously her track record is perfect.  As for these bad boys - I'll be executing them quite soon.
