a throw.

Every night after we've finished up dinner, G and I sit down on the sofa to chat, watch a movie, or read a book.  It's such a nice time of the evening to just relax and gear up for the following day.  Ummm and what's the first thing I do when I plop myself down?  I reach for a throw.  I'm all about pulling out my fave blanket.  I think any of the below would certainly be a nice little addition to my stockpile.  And most of them can double as beach blankets during the summer...double yay!

Is anyone else day dreaming about a beachy getaway?  I am!  I mean, just look at this photo taken in Greece.  That water is seriously calling my name.  And of course you need a cute suit to rock on that sand.  I recently purchased this one piece from Forever21 and I am in love with it.  Really, any excuse to wear this suit is fine with me.  I think a hot tub is more likely to appear in my near future, but I'm still dreaming about that turquoise water.

brights.

Apparently I need to get to Target immediately.  This bright skirt and these awesome shoes, from the new Prabal Gurung collection, need to join my closet.  Right?!?

ring a ding.

Who needs a big new gorgeous ring?  Answer is, not me...but maybe a few of you ladies out there are in need.  I mean, Valentine's Day is right around the corner after all.  Here are a few that have caught my eye this past week.

gold glasses.

I'm putting together a little inspirational tablescape this week and I can't wait to share the details (sorry, but you must wait a bit to see the pics).  While gathering all of my plates, flatware, etc. I discovered that I need more glassware.  I mean we have plenty, trust me, but I feel like everything is pretty generic and sometimes I just want something with a little more character.  Lately I've been craving some gold rimmed glasses.  I mean, wouldn't they make any dinner party just a little more special?  I'm especially loving these anthro beauties.
