natural beauty.

This Dove video has been making it's way across the internet and I just felt like I had to share it here too.  Such a powerful statement about women and the way we see ourselves versus the way we are seen by others.  Love how it reminds us to appreciate our natural beauty.  Happy Friday.

high heeled.

I'm not much of a high heeled girl for my daytime look, but when it comes to going out to dinner I love to throw on a pair of heels.  I mean, riding the bus and hiking up & down the hills of the city make it a bit inconvenient to be wearing stilettos, but come nighttime that all changes.  Ummm especially if it means a dinner where I'll be spending most of the evening sitting.  ha!  I love these laced up pretties from Zara and might just snag them up this weekend.

coaster gems.

The hubs came home the other day with these beauties.  I mean, are you kidding?  We had talked about needing some new coasters for awhile, but I hadn't really found any that I liked.  So he not only ventured into Anthro alone, but also picked out the most gorgeous little guys I've ever seen.  Uh yay, he's pretty much amazing!

lots of love.

Just a simple note to say that my heart and thoughts are with the people of Boston today.  Much love being sent your way.

tabletop.

Good morning Monday.  Wow, what a weekend it was.  I seriously can't thank the girls of Enjoy Events enough for having me be a part of their workshop.  I had a blast turning this inspiration board into a table setting.  I loved meeting all of the participants and sharing a few budget friendly diy projects that I made.  So, here are some iPhone pics I snapped of the table.  I'll be back later this week to dive into a few of the diy goodies too.
