bauble bomb

have some recently freed up dresser space since we mounted the TV in our bedroom.  it currently looks like a bomb went off in clare's accessories but i desperately want to come up with the perfect jewelry display.  

you might recognize this piggy from my mum's day gift guide.  he doesn't live with me yet but i must have him and he needs to wear my necklaces.  luckily i have a birthday and an anni on the horizon. {ahem, horseface get on that}

also love the ikat bowls for baubles.  and love mixing them with cute dishes/trays.

this is sorta cheese {the colors. obvs} but also cute gift - can customize the name and initial.  and whaddya know- there's my pink ring!

i dig this bracelet holder and ring holder from PB.  could be cute with a mix of other cool vestles, like the piggy, g-dammit.

despise when i can't find a source on pinterest but love-love this idea so must share.  i'm always so sad to toss my used pretty candles.  

oh. . .hi.

yup.

and i'll just leave you with this.  OMFG.

stay tuned, i'm sure i'll have this worked out in the next decade or so.  since i'm a hot effing mess super organized.  but something needs to change soon because accusing the cleaning lady of stealing every time i can't find my shiz is going over like a lead balloon.

campy camp camp

cannot believe it's almost memorial day weekend.  C & P start their first official season of summer camp soon and require "whites".  i die.

1. roll socks 2. skort  3. crew socks 4. pique polo 5. polo dress {only 8.99!} 6. tank

1. lacoste dress 2. ralph lauren polo 3. polo dress  4. k-swiss 5. tretorn 6. polo sneaker 7. RL dress 8. lacoste polo 9. lacoste dress 2

hopefully what i work out for them with wardrobe will compensate for their inherent poor coordination.

frenchie friday: ack bound

i'm feeling a little guilty leaving my two 4 legged babies behind this weekend as i head to nantucket for winefest.  i'm sure i'll get over it after one million cocktails.  but much like their mama, nantucket is george & loo's happy place.

excited for a trip in the family truckster

even horseface and georgey bond on ack

maniac!

loo is a bit more chill.  obvs.

be good, my sweet ones.  i'll miss you.

happy weekend, everyone!

friends & fam

i drool over most things from serena & lily.  obvs.

it happens to be their friends & family discount this weekend.

here's the edited version of the giant shopping cart in my head:

georgina headboard

pink pouf

hanging chair {just two of these}

seychelles chandelier

hayworth shelf

bungalow mirror

side table

in actuality i'm buying a shower curtain.  

worship.

happy shopping!

yay for youtube

okay, so this is totes cheese . . .but it made me smile. . . 

there is so much shiz floating around on FB but if you see something posted multiple times and have a few minutes to spare, sometimes it's worth checking out.

here are two of my faves from this past week.

and this next one i particularly heart because i'm feeling uber emo about the office ending. {like i canNOT deal. . .at all}

 i worship jim.  turns out I'm MIL with the real jim, too {john krasinski}

here's why.

obligatory peony post

it's monday and i'm dragging a bit {obvs}. . . but the overwhelming scent of peonies wafting through my house is keeping me afloat.  i know, i know, everyone adores peonies.  but how could they not?  they are so beautiful, their smell is intoxicating, and for many of us they conjure up the sweetest of memories. 

CBC proposed to me with peonies . . . 

then this happened a year later. . .

and now they are omnipresent on mother's days, baptisms, dance recitals and all the other celebratory events we've been blessed with these past few springs.  

on friday, i bought out the entire whole foods inventory. . . and they have brought me such joy all weekend but they are fading fast. . .womp.

but i think that's what makes them all the sweeter . . . so i'm trying to enjoy all the fleeting moments
 . . . even on a monday.
