Out Sick

It's official, I have food poisoning and this thing is a beast. After enjoying a wonderful dinner with a girlfriend last night, I awoke at 2 A.M. this morning with a stomach bug waving it's nasty little finger in my face. I don't think I would wish this on my worst enemy. I'm looking forward to feeling normal again!

Kelly Green

Everyone has a color in their life that they obsess over. Whether realizing it or not, it seeps into their clothes, a pillow for their couch, a pashmina, whatever. Mine is and has always been orange and coral.

 Which so happens is perfect, because apparently coral is super hot for the spring and summer and that is great for my wardrobe!

But lately I've been cheating on my coral obsession (cue gasps of shock and surprise...) and going out in pops of Kelly Green. I am loving this color and I don't think I even realized how much, until I looked at a few recent purchases and realized they are all green! 

1. Forever 21 High-waisted Button shorts 

2. Stella & Dot's Serenity Stone Drop Earrings.

3. Forever 21 Kelly Green High-Low Top, similiar to this OTTE blouse.

{My favorite combinations right now}

Green + Stripes  Green + Leopard  Green + Lace

European Dreaming

I can't seem to get my mind off traveling to Europe. It's been years since I've been on a crazy, unpredictable adventure with friends. So today I decided to have a little European escape of my own, a.k.a. browsing through old pictures on my laptop and wishing I was there again. 

Several years ago I went to Italy with two close girlfriends, Jill and Stephanie. Our travels started in a small town outside of Florence. We bounced around the country and eventually wound up in Venice. It was such an amazing time and I would give anything to go back. Below are a few pictures to help pass the time on this Wednesday afternoon. 

Enjoy!

The Happy List: 4 Things

1. My growing collection of interior design, fashion and cocktail books. I'm doing a feature on Black & White {and a bit in between} in the near future. 

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G decor inspiration!

2. This month's magazines I'm saving for my trip next week! Looking forward to flipping through these babies!

3.  Four new plate chargers I picked up at the local thrift store. I couldn't believe I got away with them for only $5. Score!

4. The long over due girl's night out, last week, with my cousins and my sweet friend, Cori.

Can't stop looking at...

Over the last two years my love for interior design has become border line obsessive. My Amazon Wishlist consists of so many design books it has become shameful. 30A Style is one that has quickly become a favorite. The various homes featured in this delectable book pose a triple threat for the mind's eye: creative, colorful and comfortable. Showcasing diverse communities and individual homes, this 192 page book is worth going back to again and again.

Can't stop listening to...
