We had the most gorgeous weekend! Sunshine, a warm breeze, a long walk at the park and the promise of spring in the air. After this weekend, I seriously can’t wait for blooming flowers, outdoor picnics, trees full of bright green leaves and the many months of sunshine and outdoor living to come. I’m definitely …
Hello, friends! I haven’t had the most consistent internet access the last several days so I know it’s been a little quiet around here this week. My apologies for that! But I hope everyone has had a fabulous week! I’ll be back in full action next week and can’t wait to get back to regular …
I know I keep talking about spring. (Well, in truth, I guess everyone is talking about spring nonstop right now!) I’m working on cleaning out my wardrobe a bit at the moment and stockpiling a few colorful new pieces for spring. Think loads of pretty patterned scarves in linen and silk, trading out my leather …
It’s supposed to be 60+ degrees here in Syracuse today and, I have to admit, I am so ready. Bring on spring! Bright, happy shades of yellow, pink and purple are where it’s at for me at the moment. I’m spending the day today painting and while, I have to admit, neither yellow nor pink …

Happy Friday, friends! I hope everyone has had a great week. Can you believe it’s March already? At this rate I’m seeing 2012 going by just as fast or faster than the whirlwind that was 2011. Right now I’m looking forward to another busy weekend, kicking things off with celebrating my grandfather’s 84th birthday tonight. …
I’m a pattern junkie. (And a color junkie, too, but I’m pretty sure you already know that.) Stripes, stripes and more stripes. Polka dots, geometrics, you name it. I am definitely loving pretty, bold pattern like crazy right now. That said, I am really digging these chic pieces for spring. Oh and the gold highball …
There’s nothing I love more than small at-home gatherings with the best of friends, laughter and good times. So while winter makes it’s final push, I’m feeling like a board game night with my best people. My idea for the perfect way to do a board game night? Keep it cozy with floor cushions, fluffy …
