dip dye.

Be it clothing, home goods, or accessories, I'm seriously crushing on anything dip dyed.  I'm in the mood for a new DIY project, and I believe this one fits the bill.

chair it up.

Chairs, what can I say, I love them.  I'm often times trying to justify (to myself) why my husband and I just must have another Eames or Panton or xxx, the list goes on.  But the other day I had a funny thought.  I was thinking about my favorite place to sit, and you know where that is?  The floor!  ha!  When I'm coloring with my niece & nephew, crafting for a big project, or even eating dinner...I always sit on the floor.  I guess the conclusion here is that I consider chairs to be artwork.  They don't need to be functional at all, just something beautiful to look at.  And I am lucky enough that all of our chairs are pretty.  Oh chairs, I may not sit on you all of the time, but just being able to stare at you makes me oh so happy.

rocks.

My obsession with geodes continues.  Growing up my mom had a lot of jewelry made of amethyst, crystals, various natural rocks...all of which I've forever loved.  These little gems all hold a special place in my heart and really remind me of my childhood.  The various uses below, are all beyond gorgeous.  Ummm and if someone finds a bracelet similar to the ones below, please tell me.  I need one asap.

look at that back. 

Love love lovin' these backless dresses.  Isn't there something so simple yet seductive about an open back?  I'm kind of obsessed.  This is a look I will definitely be sporting more of in the coming months.

dots on my mind.

My husband took this photo of me over the weekend and it cracked me up.  Yep, there I am in my new polka dot sweater about to dive into the latest J.Crew with polka dots on the cover.  ha!  I guess I have been a little obsessed with dots lately.  I picked up a few items recently at a steal, and I think all of you should have them too!  This sweater from Old Navy is under $20 (yipppeee!) and these cute little makeup bags from Forever 21 are wayyyy too much fun.  I mean if you don't need one, I think they'd make adorable gifts.
