Spring Obsessions

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. Ours was low key and quiet, perfect for me after our last couple weeks of craziness.  

I am officially obsessing over sunny days and warm nights, walking in the park and dining al fresco.  A few things I came across over the weekend would be the perfect addition to any girls spring dreaming.

This skirt...

which would go perfect with my denim shirt I just got in Florida...

Bauble Bar nails it, I love how they get creative with the layering of necklaces.  I literally go to the website everyday to see what new creations they have come up with.

My favorite piece just arrived yesterday...

This couple is so cute they just make me sick.  I am obsessed with everything she wears

and my latest obsession is this song.  My parents had this playing during Easter dinner and I just can't get enough of this.  This song just makes me feel good!!

Beautiful World (We're All Here)

Girl Friday

Have a Blessed, Beautiful Easter!!

Here Comes Peter Cottontail

It seems weird to me that Easter is on Sunday.  Our house has been random the last 2 weeks, first I was in Florida with the girls, then we were all home for 4 days, then the boys went out of town.  I really feel off schedule and out of whack, the snowstorm that came through over the weekend did not help at all.  We are all finally under the same roof and now I need to think about Easter.

I have no idea what anyone is wearing.  This is a very low key Easter this year so I think I am going to work with what everyone has instead of shopping for new outfits.  It is also going to be chilly on Sunday so I have to keep that in mind.  I think I am going to wear my new target dress...

with my black cardigan...

and my black shoes...

no longer at Kate Spade, but you can get them here.

and my necklace I picked up on Tuesday at H&M..

We are going to my parents for dinner and I am bringing a dessert.  I am thinking this is the perfect Easter dessert.

Lemon Champagne Cake...

I am not going to lie, I read the recipe and it seems like a lot of work, but anything with champagne is worth the effort!!

Who Doesn't Love a Sale??

Any time a designer collaborates on a line for Target it is always pure chaos at my Target store.  There are plenty of lines, clothes grabbing, getting run down with carts, and pushing.  I witnessed this first hand last year with Missoni.  When Prabal Gurung for Target came out a couple weeks ago, I saw a preview before it hit the stores and decided dealing with the mob scene just wasn't worth it.

Yesterday I ran to Target during our snow storm to grab a few essential,  typically St. Louisans don't do well with snow and everyone stays inside until it has melted,  so not only did I have Target almost to myself, I spotted a few Prabal Gurung pieces on the sale rack.  

This was a good trip indeed, I avoided all lines and general craziness of Target (you all know what I am talking about)  and I got 2 pieces on sale.  

MUST. HAVE. THIS. NOW

I am dying over this Tom Ford utility bag...

and yes I will also take it in black

It is on NM website but the price is not listed.

That is most likely not a good sign!!

Girl Friday

The boys left early this morning for their spring break, so it will be just me and my girls this weekend.  

In addition to some fun girly things like shopping, baking cookies, getting mani's and pedi's, I do have a project for myself before the hubs get back.

This was my bedroom last week at the house we rented in Seaside...

I am obsessed with the purple wall.  It has never been on my radar to paint anything purple but now I cannot get that color out of my mind.  I would love to do a bedroom that color but that would be embarking on an entire project...new bedding, new window treatments, new rugs etc.  My laundry room needs some serious help, I need to first off, actually do some laundry, then I need to add some shelves to help with the organizing and I need to spice it up a bit.  This is where the purple walls come in.  My laundry room is lacking some serious style, right now it is very white and very boring.  I hate doing laundry, maybe if I love the room the chore will be tolerable.

I have my color choice narrowed down, now I just to to decide and get busy!!

Have a beautiful weekend!!

Luck of the Irish

About 2 weeks ago I had a small lucky streak.  I was at a bingo fundraiser (I know, I am not 90 but it was really fun) at my daughters school and won $100

then 2 days later as I was heading down to Florida I got a call from a local boutique, I had "liked" a purse on their FB page for a contest and I won the bag!!  Woot Woot

I finally got around to picking up my purse yesterday and it is adorable.  I LOVE this bag.  It is a super soft buttery leather with brass hardware and tassel detailing.  Until yesterday I had never heard of the line orYany but the shop owner was telling me this is her all time favorite.  They have great color combinations and those small attention to details that can really make a great bag.  You can check out the entire line here.

Well I am off to buy a lottery ticket!!
