Our little vase was empty for a while, but now it's full with Pussy Willows and Globe Alliums! I am loving the combo of the two and think those Alliums are architectural and delightfully pretty! It's so much cozier in here with fresh blooms ;-)
The rug got here the other day and I think it's a keeper. Nothing fancy...but it sure does lend an extra something to our living room!! I couldn't help but throw my pretty Michael Kors flats in the pic...I was wearing them and standing on the rug the other day and noticed how pretty they looked against it (oh my goodness....I'm a weirdo). What do you think...given the pictures of my living room which has changed slightly since this pic..but the couch set is still the same. A sage green with that sort of navy and cream of the rug?!
Check out Ruby's blog for more of here beautiful pictures. This one of the colored pencil shavings is my favorite today!
I said I would do a post revisiting the effects of Aveda's Embrightenment collection, so here I am. I have the WHOLE collection and ((seriously)) am obsessed with it and LOVE it. That's a lot of excitement for one sentence. Go to Aveda's site to read the details...all I can say is that the aroma is light but wonderful, the consistencies and textures of the products are wonderful, and I really have NO complaints about the line so far....I have been using it for a couple months now and still have a ways to go as far as testing Aveda's guarantee on the line. Really....my one delight is that I enjoy it, and the best part is that it doesn't make me break out (more than I do hormonally already) which is really a selling point. It's a great skin care line for people who want to move up from the adolescent 'Cetephil's' and 'Proactive's' of the world but aren't really ready for something intensively "anti aging". If you have any specific questions about the line, or my personal experience please e mail me!!

How sweet is this photo!? I just love it...and I want to eat her dress (which feels strange). Photo source 'unknown' it's one of my saved pics, unfortunately I don't always save the location!! If you know where this photo is from please let me know!

It's official....over lunch at Artisan (which I will add, has, arguably the best food on the CC and definitely the best mimosa I've drank in a while!!) with Danielle on Sunday I finally decided on my color scheme!! It's going to be a palette of mint green (light) and coral (like coral peonies)!! I am very happy with this decision, and super excited to try and find elements and details that I think will coordinate with this scheme : ) Hope everyone had a beautiful weekend, mine flew by far too fast!
These sweet designs are from Simple Silhouettes and I think they are sort of whimsical and sweet!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the top option with those modern floral pins attached to the halter...and also love the more architectural version of those big pleated pieces of fabric on the second. They have some really pretty colors available (which is delightful!!). Only time will tell, luckily something I have more of than less in this case!
I need an engagement party outfit!!!!! It wont be till late spring, so I have time to mull things over, but....I am LOVING this skirt (and this skirt..but I can't decide between the two..*both* )and tank from Jcrew and have been obsessed with these shoes ever since I saw them in the style pages of Elle a few months back. Still can't track down where to actually buy them..can't find them anywhere online for sale : ( I know they are a little crazy...but hey...they are kind of fabulous and amazing too. If not for the engagement party for SOMETHING..trust me I can think of something I need them for!

I wish today felt like this....can't wait for picnics and sun dresses. I love winter...and I love gloomy weather...but just not today?!
