A N T H R O.

And here is reason 6,789 why I love Anthropologie:

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11

Aren't you dying ?! All of those bad boys are definitely on my favorites list. Cannot wait to get back to Anthro and grab up some of these mamajamas!

It is everywhere! With spring around the corner, storefronts are dazzled with color blocking. I cannot get enough! I wear black all the time, like everyday, so I've made a promise to myself that I'm going to branch out and embrace all this color that's going on. I'm even obsessing over neons -- big step for someone who is always decked out in black!

Here are some of my favorite fabulous color blocking finds. I want them all, especially those ASOS sunnies!!

love notes, set of three. {a free printable}

I love leaving little notes for people & receiving snail mail -- receiving yet another mass e-mail, not so much. So why not make some fun printables to share with you? It's a goal of mine this year to take the time to give handwritten notes, a little gesture that goes a long way!

And now you can leave little love notes too.

To use : click on picture, right click to save, then print! notecards measure approximately five x four.

print on cardstock for best results.

Happy Wednesday, enjoy the free notecards!

You know when you go to Target for office supplies and groceries and walk out with a few pens and six new nail polishes? Yea, me neither. I cannot get enough of nail polish, just when I think there is no way I could possibly need any more colors, the notorious Essie hits me with their new spring ad and, of course, I'm in love. To buy or not to buy, tour de finance, and ole caliente are all part of Essie's newest line, I cannot wait to get my hands on them! Lilacism & petal pink I have seen in magazines and I'm on the hunt for them, they are a must have for my growing collection.
It's not too early to think spring right?

the elephant in the room, part two.

Let me introduce you to one of my favorite home decor websites, One Kings Lane. You'll thank me later.
Besides the fact that they have an elephant in their logo, {match made in heaven, right? } they also have fabulous items at half the price. They constantly are picking out one-of-a-kind pieces, and putting them on sale, can we say amazing? I first was introduced to One Kings Lane from the tv show "Million Dollar Decorators" on Bravo. One of my favorite designers Martyn Lawrence Bullard did a huge guest spread for them, and I've been smitten ever since. Here are a few of the items I'm currently swooning over:

I mean seriously? Those dog beds are adorable, I want them allllll. I cannot get over all those bright placemats too! And that striped chair, yes please!

If you're like me, being organized isn't exactly something I've mastered yet. I'm constantly programming things into my iCalendar, and checking items off of my reminders app, but let's be honest -- nothing compares to drawing a huge, fat , sharpie line through the things on your "to-do" list. It's a little satisfaction I enjoy getting. So, in the spirit of staying organized, and also feeding my obsession for checking things off my to-do lists, I've created a free printable just for you! To use: click image, right click to save to computer, print, and then sharpie away!
Enjoy!

the elephant in the room.

It's no secret I'm fascinated by interior design and how a house that's decorated with style quickly becomes a home.

Everyday I have the privilege of walking into some amazing homes. I quickly become obsessed with light fixtures, door knobs, and paint colors. Today I met a client at a Model Home, and let's just say I died a little inside. This is only my fifth trip to see this house. (I don't want to talk about it.) This house is to die for, and well, for a list price of $1.5 million dollars, it should be! I'm doing it no justice, but here are a few features I was literally swooning over.
