key west wednesday

boo.  it's cold again!
and since i was too bummed out to do a miami monday post. . . here's your key west wednesday.
flipping through this month's  coastal living and swooning over this precious key west bungalow.








yup, it's pink and it has bunks.  yes, please, thank you.


owl take two . . . on vacay!

exciting week around here.
so very busy working on an adorbs baby shower for a special gal in chi-town.  wishing i lived closer so i could see it all come to life but sending some fun stuff their way.  will give you a full report once it's done. . . good stuff. . . good stuff.

in the meantime, also busy packing for our family vacay.  it's early this year and i can barely believe its right around the corner already.  obvi, i can't show you everything we are packing for c & p, but i'd love to share a few goodies.

this week isn't exactly beach weather but hoping things improve by the time we arrive on-island.  we are taking an early ferry so the plan is to have c & p sporting these adorbs smocked bathing suits by saturday afternoon.




 we heart mermaids so much we bought the dresses, too!  thought this style would be cute with a cardi over it just in case the weather doesn't cooperate.

shrimp & grits offers ridiculously cute smocked clothes and they are having a fab sale right now.  check it out here.

we also can't exactly go to nantucket without our whale dress, also from S & G.



i can't give all of our wardrobe secrets away, what fun would that be?  but i do have these very special dresses hanging in the closet.  my plan was to save them for family portraits with the fabulous miss meredith but i'm not sure i can leave them behind.  i just won't let the children eat or drink {or play} when they have them on.  
that's reasonable, right?


dresses by joules
the uber-helpful lauren at scuppers in old town helped me choose them.  
wor-ship. 
 the fabric is a modern farmhouse toile and i'm picturing getting the girls' photo in front of the bartlett's farm sign.  too contrived?  totes!  do i care?  totes don't give a hoot!
do you see the exposed zipper?  omg, they are growing up before my very eyes. . .

okay, i'm somewhat inspired to pack now. . .
we will probably only be wearing jeans and sweatshirts if mother nature keeps up with this bs, but it won't matter, because it's still vacation, which means i will be intoxicated with my very fave people on the planet. {no, c & p won't be intoxicated, sillies!} 
 my other faves.  
you know who you are.

OMG, i almost forgot to tell you what else i'm doing this week.  i'm quite busy preparing to be the birthday girl.  half-way to 70!  {wahwahhhh}
i LOVE-love birthdays!  even if they mean i'm getting old.  still a chance to celebrate with awesome friends and fam.  looking forward to all of that goodness.

monday punday: pool-lease enjoy

mah.

headed on vacay this week so pools are on the mind.  i hope you enjoy these images of some of my faves. . .



this might be my favorite pool ever.
we were lucky enough to honeymoon at las ventanas.  
swoon much? 
 i vividly remember planning my return trip for my 35th. . . 
guess what is this june?  and guess what is TOTES not happening!  
i''ll just have to eat a vat of guac and drink 17 margaritas and pretend i'm there.

another pretty pool is at the raleigh in miami.  isn't it gorge?  my likey.



one of my favorite places on the planet is the llao llao resort in patagonia. (bariloche, argentina)  
how 'bout that view?  glorious.  
the wine and 'proveleta' {slabs of grilled cheese} aren't bad here either.  
don't cry for me, argentina.  i'll find my way back to you someday. . .



in the meantime. . .
next week i'll be dividing my time between mimi's and here:
pretty sure it might make the list of favorites.

and i'm just filing this baby away under dream home.  
those twin beds would be perf for c & p.  
or maybe my future grand-daughters is more realistic. . .
