I found this adorable skirt at Goodwill last week and just HAD to have it! It was a size 0 and, ahem, let’s just say it didn’t even begin to fit me! So I tried to think of a way that I could use it for something else and came up with a summer dress […]

A cute purse/diaper bag that I luuuurve…found on clearance at Tarjay. Little missy peeking out from the “tent” she made out of a blanket and a table.

I spent the weekend coordinating a wedding for this beautiful bride! She has a huge extended family who are very close, and they were so much fun to work with! And now they are on their honeymoon on a tropical beach somewhere and I must say, I’m a little bit jealous!

I don’t know if it’s because of the warm weather we’ve been having for the past several days, but last night as I was curled up on the couch reading my Coastal Living magazine, I was particularly inspired by the fresh, white photos of houses along the coast… Makes me want to head to the […]

I was flipping through the latest Pottery Barn catalog and came across this little description that got me thinking… “…choosing high-quality furniture, fabrics and accessories is the only path to a home you truly love.” Hello??!!
