It's a Print-On-Print Kind of Day!

Yay! It's Friday!! I'm sure everyone is feeling that way right about now. I have the most glorious weekend ahead- Tonight is my younger cousins confirmation - I am his sponsor (deeply honored!). Also, my grandparents are coming in town. Weee! On Saturday we have a surprise party for George (my cousin's grandpa) Shhh its a SURPRISE! Don't worry - I highly doubt he reads this blog ;) 

I am keeping to the theme of Print Mixing in this post - here is my version of the trend! Striped nautical shorts and a floral tank! It's absolutely perfect on a hot summers day! 

My Emerald tote (another hot trend: Emerald) is actually from Target - on sale, it ran me about $15 - that's why I love Target =) 

By the way, SO SORRY about the sun glare!! I tried to get rid of it and it was just messing up the photo - forgive me! 

Thanks for reading all you lovelies! Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks for coming by everyone - I am extremely pleased to see how many people are coming to my site daily - its a great feeling that you enjoy my photos and ideas, and well, my life! So Thanks =) 

Here are my Friday Favorite Pins of the Week: 

Who thinks to put red and teal together? - Not I - until I saw this post, that is. I love it - Now that I saw, I am obsessed - and tying it in with a nice relaxed white blazer? uhhh perf. 

 Okay this is a great DIY - these are goodwill lamp posts that were that horrible brasses color - now spray painted with fresh colors - transformed! They look awesome and this couldn't be easier to do! 

Could this really be true? I must try!

So Summery - and this will never go out of style. A classic.

I can't really explain what I love so much about ampersand - but I love them a lot! This bracelet is so delicate and cute - I must find it and own it ;) 

 This is a great blog - they give 4 different summer drinks - all low calorie!! 

Like this yum-yum Beer-Margarita:

Friday Favorite Pins!

Hello and Happy Friday to all! What does everyone have on the agenda for this weekend? Tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful here - 75 and sunny! I am getting my tan on ;) Tonight we are having a little dinner party at my aunts house - I am going to make my cucumber caprese salad - That is cucumber, tomato, and fresh mozzarella with olive oil and balsamic drizzle - easy enough!

On Saturday (after my sunbathing) we have a beer tasting party to attend - I might have mentioned it in a previous post, but basically everyone brings either a 6-pack (all of one kind or one of those cool make-your-own 6 pack mix and match) and throughout the party the host gives everyone a 1 oz pour into a cup and tells us about the beer. I am not a beer enthusiast by any means but I think it could be fun! 

Here are this weeks - Favorite Pins! 

Ok now this really speaks to me! I am so not a math person - definitely as right brained as I can get... I am sure many professions include algebra - but not mine! =) Not ever! 

...need I say more? (Michael Kors)

I love Nautical - what a fun mixed print outfit for summer - makes me want to go on a boat 

Hello YUM! Patrick would llloove this! and it looks pretty easy too! I guess you want to get a small cake pan and bake 5-6 mini cookie cakes - then add creaminess in-between and stack! 

All that glitters!! I love this spring idea - Im not sure I would do a color - or at least this teal - but i love the gold and the simplicity of the baby's breathe - so fresh! 

She is so gorg! I cant get over her outfit and how great of print mixing she did! I love love love this! and love her!! 

Well thats it guys! Thanks for stopping by and come tomorrow for your must have beach look!

Friday Fav Pins of the Week!

Hello Lovelies! Happy Friday - I just got to NY/NJ for the Easter Holiday at my future in laws house - whoo-wee are we exhausted!

We had quite a morning - Waking up at 3am, getting on plane at 530a (delayed until 610am) get to DC - had 10 mins before boarding next flight (**bonus - leg number two we got first class - and that was fabulous!) I tried a Bloody Mary for the first time on the plane - note to all: if you are going to try a Bloody Mary for the first time - don't get it on a plane ride, get it homemade by someone who knows what they are doing =) After arriving in NY we had to get on a bus that took for-ev-er!!!!!! We took the bus around picking up other folks - got dropped off in Grand Central, got on another bus that picked up more people - finally dropping us at Newark to be picked up by Patrick's Mom and driven 40 mins back to her house in NJ. 9 hour traveling day anyone? We might has well gone to Europe in that amount of time!

 None-the-less we are now at our final destination, and although tired, we are happy to be here and looking forward to what the weekend has to bring us! Stay Tuned!

Now - for my Friday Favorite Pins of the Week: 

   

I love bright yellow/neon yellow with nude/tan!!! I cant get enough - its my favorite color combo and these girls nailed it. I luckily already have the clothing to complete these looks so I am on it (as soon as it warms up)

 

Love this saying <3 Its so true - right?!

 

 YUM! Great quick and easy dinner idea for two =) Although, Patrick would not like all the veggies involved; I sure would!

 Okay -- Besides being completely adorable - I totally understand how this pup feels! I need the sun!! Where is it?????

 

I liked this exhibit - I found it really interesting and to be a great idea! I want to be able to get measured on this wall! Its called Measuring the Universe by Slovakian artist Roman Ondák. It's considered performance art because patrons that attend the museum actually get to be the ones measured - name, height and date measured - what a cool idea!

Friday's Fav Pins of the Week!

I eat, sleep, and breathe PINTEREST! I love it - I am constantly on it pinning away and honestly, I am not ashamed. I have found my most brilliant of brilliant ideas on that thing - from home decor, to fashion, to all the recipes I can imagine - there is no stopping me!

Therefore, I am starting the Weekly excerpt for the blog called 'Friday's Fav Pins of the Week!' - Every Friday I will go back and pick at least 5 of my favorite pins that I want to share with you all! 

This is Ah-Mah-Zing - its only $15 to make - and you have a beautiful rustic wine display! All you need is a large plank of wood, a few 2x4s and some nails - this one is extra cool with the chalkboard paint allowing you to display the type of wine! *Weekend Project!*

I love this - I am so doing this tomorrow...I think this is a great new workout to try - I bet its really hard too.. lets just hoping I will have enough space in my kitchen to try =) 

Well, this is just plain beautiful - I'm addicted to gold and mint and I love the way this watch puts it together! Its from lulus.com and its very affordable - thank goodness!

 I chose this little guy...for no real good reason - its just plain cool - he caught my eye and I couldn't resist! 

And this - well isn't it obvious? I want SPRING to be here already! I can bet everyone feels the same way too - this winter is lasting much to long, and I'm more than ready for some sunshine, beach, sundresses, ^^nautical themed outfits, flowers - oh and my birthday! 

Tonight is date night for Patrick and I! We are going to see Olympus Has Fallen (I hope its good!) and going to dinner - I love our Friday rituals - its something to look forward to all day! Also, Patrick is currently playing in his first golf tourney of the season! Let's hope he starts it off on the right foot (otherwise, date night might not be so fun!) 

Thanks for Reading Everyone! Happy Friday xo
