Backyard Project

Now that we have (nearly) finished our front yard project, it’s time to tackle our backyard! Yes, the work of a homeowner never ends. The backyard is something we will need to focus all our attention on, as it is the backdrop for my 30th birthday party this year. Aside from refinishing and fixing our pool, I want to add some decorative touches to make it a little more lively, and more “us.” For this reason, I put together a fun little mood board with some great items I am currently lusting over! I figured I would share it with you all since summer is quickly approaching and I’m sure I’m not the only one dreaming of long, sunny days lounging outside by my pool, right?

1. Chica Turquoise Wall Vase – $12.95
2. Aqua Folding Side Table – $21.95
3. Recycled Hello Pop Art – $34
4. Mesh Lantern – $24.95
5. Rubber Vase – $10.95

What are some of your favorite outdoor pieces this season?

What I Wore | Bridesmaid Brunch

I am extremely happy for two of my closest friends, Elissa & James, and their recent engagement! Even more so after I was told I was to be the maid of honor! The rest of the bridal party (also some of my closest friends), decided to take the bride-to-be out for a bridesmaid brunch to celebrate the engagement at the Pelican Grand in Ft. Lauderdale. We had a fabulous time – maybe a little too fabulous – I ended up sick as a dog the following week. But I have to say, spending time with these girls is always worth it, no matter the outcome!

Maxi Dress; Marshall’s
Sandals; GAP outlet
Flower earrings; Forever 21
Gold flower necklace; Off 5th
Fish necklace; Forever 21
Cuff; gifted

I think this outfit fit the vibe perfectly. I wanted something feminine and romantic since we were celebrating love and marriage, but also needed something airy as we were going to be sitting outside by the beach. Everyone knows this season is all about the maxi dress, but it can be pretty difficult to find the right one. I found my perfect maxi while perusing the clearance section at Marshall’s (along with 2 other beauties, but I digress)! I am in love with its little ruffles and tiers. Everything about it screams girly. I paired it with some gold accessories and was on my way!

Of course, I had to add the sparkly goodness! Congrats, my love 🙂

Blogging Break

No worries, it will be a short one. I just need a quick break from the blog this week to refocus my attention on work. I also woke up sick this morning, so I plan on taking it easy in hopes that I will feel better in no time. I definitely can’t afford to feel under the weather when working with children!

Hope you all have a great week, and –like all the cool kids say– I’ll catch you on the flipside!

Spike TV’s Auction Hunters


I personally love auction shows. It’s always so amazing to see what relics people may be storing in their homes unaware of their value – gets you thinking twice about throwing out your grandmother’s hand-me-down rocking chair, huh? Anywho, two of the best “treasure hunters” in the business, Allen Haff and Clinton Ton Jones, will be back for a second season of Spike TV’s Auction Hunters starting next Tuesday, April 5 at 10pm/9c. The second season follows Haff and Jones across the country in their quest to win auctions, dig for abandoned historical treasure and sell them for a profit. Even better? They decided to start the season with a bang by visiting Miami in their first episode!

Great choice, boys! I can’t wait to see what they uncover in my hometown.
Lord knows we need some positive press after that Bravo housewife debacle (seriously, how terrible were they?).

Check out what the boys have in store for you this season:

Lovable Friday!

Happy April Fools Day!
Hope you haven’t gotten pranked on too many times, my loves!

1. Comic Headband

Calling all nerds, I have found your staple headpiece! How cute is this comic book headband? I personally think it’s the perfect accessory for all those Comic Con attendees. And if I play my cards right, I just might be one of those lucky geeks in attendance this year (again)! If so, I’ll be grabbing myself one or two for the road. 😉
