happy birthday little sis.

Yesterday was my little sister's birthday, so I had to give her a little shout out on the blog this morning.  Happy happy happy birthday Tessie!  You are so sweet and have the kindest heart.  I love your free-spirit ways and the fact that you have traveled all over the world.  You are the most caring little sister and for that I can't thank you enough.  Love ya!  

And of course I had to include some pics of you as a kid.  Ummmmm look at that smile?!?  SO cute!  xoxo!

home inspiration.

I stumbled upon Stone Fox Bride's website yesterday and I'm so happy that I did!  I am completely and utterly obsessed with their showroom.  I want to move right in there, don't you?  I mean, come on...it is so so so pretty.  Oh and did I mention that they have that rug that I'm determined to make mine.   I am loving every little inch of this space.

nyc.

I've been day dreaming about a trip to New York.  I've been there a handful of times and have always had the most amazing time.  The sights, the sounds...everything about that city is magical.  Eeeeeekkk and going there during the holiday time is so special.  I love seeing everything decorated.  Oh gosh, and can we talk about the food?  I honestly have never had a bad meal there.  Oh man, New York, I miss you.

natural beauty.

This ring, ummmmmm yes yes yes.  I know I've already discussed my obsession with jewelry made of natural stones, but I spotted this little ring and just had to share it's beauty with all of you.  So cool, right?

seeing spots.

I'm attempting to add a little more pattern into my wardrobe and I think these spotted numbers would do the trick.  I'm already obsessed with my J.Crew dress that I scored at a huge discount on eBay, and definitely wouldn't mind adding a few more spotted pieces into my wardrobe.  Uhhh, hello, that clutch is calling my name!
