BB DAKOTA ASHTON KEY DRESS

I love this slouchy little dress.  The mustard color is perfect for now and then you could totally wear it through the fall with boots and a cardigan/blazer.  Best part it is only $80!!  A real steal for such a versatile dress!

SRIRACHA LIME POPCORN

I am obsessed with Srirachia on anything.  This popcorn makes me drool.  It will be made this week.

FIRE ELSA NECKLACE

In keeping up with my Obsession with all statement necklaces, I have set my sights on and ordered this beauty. 

If you are a stalker like me you might have noticed Kris Kardashian Jenner’s assistant wearing it on keeping up with the Kardasians.  I love it paired with stripes!

It also comes in white which I love too!

BATH ROOM

I am seriously contemplating wallpapering our hall bathroom and replacing the mirror with something more fun.  Have been thinking about this for awhile,  but as y’all know I get lazy when it comes to tackling projects.  This bathroom makes me swoon.  I love the wallpaper and the mirror!  Total inspiration for what I want to create.

So, true and important to remember.

KENNETH JAY LANE TURQUOISE STICK NECKLACE
I love this necklace in a major way. I picture pairing it with this bright orange dress I have or a black maxi dress. I think it would be so versatile and turquoise never goes out of style!




FIDDLE FIG TREE
I don’t have alot of greenery in our house. I will be the first to admit I am bad about keeping plants alive indoors, but a tree seems like it would be easier maintenance. I love the look of a Fiddle Fig Tree and the way the greenery brightens up a room.




JOIE MADERA SCRATCH DOT BLOUSE
I need this blouse, really thinking about biting the bullet and ordering it. It would look great with any pair of colored jeans or shorts. The black and white dot print would go with everything! A classic blouse I feel like I would never tire of!


CONFETTI SPRINKLED LINEN COCKTAIL NAPKINS

How awesome are these cocktail napkins? Perfect for an Outdoor Dinner Party. Best part is these are homemade made with linen napkins and gold paint. Design Mom sewed her own napkins but I would totally buy a pack of pre-made napkins (because I am lazy like that) and then go to town painting. You can check out how to make your own napkins HERE on Design Mom.


CONTEMPO PROSECCO
This is my latest addiction. It is light refreshing and affordable- $8.99 a bottle currently on special, normally retails for $11.99. Now that the weather is warm there is nothing I like more than a chilled glass of bubbly. I originally was drawn to this Prosecco because of the bottle/label (I do indeed judge wines by their covers) it had a simple, clean and modern look. I bought one bottle to try and loved it so much I went back and pretty much cleaned my grocery store out. I served it at Easter Playgroup last week and it was a hit. They also make a line of wines but I have yet to try them.

BURGUNDY JEANS
This is one of my favorite fall trends. I just bought the Joe’s Jeans Alice Skinny Visonaire Burgundy jeans and love them. They sit high on your waist and are super flattering! They are the perfect wine shade and I can see myself wearing them all the time!

CHEVRON RUG
I finally had to ditch the white faux sheepskin rug I had in Sterling’s nursery. White rugs are so gorgeous but pretty much a bad idea in a nursery, especially a boy’s nursery. That thing was covered in so much pee, dirt and grim no one would clean it! I was inspired by this picture.


and ended up ordering this similar rug from Urban Outfitters. It was a steal and I think it will be a great replacement!


FRYE BOOTS
I am really loving these Frye boots. How fabulous would they look with leggings, a loose tee and scarf. I can’t decide which pair I like better!
Here is Elin Nordegren sporting the black logo boots. They look amaze!

JALAPENO POPPER DIP
I made this dip this weekend and wowza was it good. If you love cheese and jalapenos you will love this! I will share this danklicious recipe tomorrow!

Obsessions

May 10, 2011

I am finally back in Charleston, unpacked and settling in. I swear I had a hangover for two days straight, my head is just starting to clear from the fog of Miami! I am so behind on all my blog reading, I can’t wait to catch up on all my favorites!

Here are this week’s Obsessions!

SERENA AND LILY FURNITURE
I have always really liked Serena and Lily’s baby bedding line and now I am smitten with their furniture line. They have some fabulous fabric choices. You can pretty much custom choose everything. I really love their headboards and chairs.





CEVICHE
I enjoyed some tasty ceviche while in Miami and now I am obsessed. It is such a fresh and light dish filled with tons of flavor!


URBAN DECAY NAKED EYESHADOW PALETTE
After reading many a fabulous reviews on this eyeshadow palette, I ordered it. It does not disappoint. The colors are fabulous. I usually only wear neutral eyeshadow and this has a ton of great colors. I guess that is why Sephora told me they have been sold out since January!

DVF ARRIA EMBELLISHED DRESS
I have been lusting after this dress awhile now. The color is perfection and I love the easy style of it. I could see myself wearing this dress all the time!

SODASTREAM PENGUIN SPARKLING WATER MAKER
I am obsessed with seltzer/soda water. I seriously drink 4-5 cans a day. I love the carbonation and the fact that it has no sugar. While I was home my sister made me seltzer with her Penguin Soda maker she received as a wedding gift. It was amazing, the best sparkling water ever! It was perfectly carbonated and only took like 30 seconds to make. I am adding this to my Christmas list!
