Flowers make me feel girly and feminine and free. Plus they’re prettier and have less fat than cupcakes. On a girly note, this is my theme song today.
How about flower/fruit ice cubes? Tres chic.

In my dressing room
As I’ve posted, I’m moving. It seems very far away (I haven’t packed) but it is actually fast approaching (two weeks). I found a sweet little bungalow in the downtown area of Fayetteville. It has a backyard and a porch swing and original wood floors. It’s rather small – the kitchen, the bathroom, the closets – but it will be just me living there with my puppies and visitors of course. Still, small bathroom & closet? What’s a fashion-conscious, jewelry-collecting, shoe-hoarder supposed to do? Light at the end of the tunnel: There is a second bedroom! I, without any hesitation, decided to make that room my dressing room. Aren’t those a lovely couple of words? It’s a small room, mind you, but I plan to make it as girly and artsy and feminine as possible. Can’t wait to post pics! For now, some inspiration…
It’s freaking HOT
Why hello. This weather (lots of sun, no breeze, air condition lagging…) causes me to feel sleepy and lethargic. Wouldn’t it be more fun to be by a pool than at work? July is slipping by so quickly, soon it will be time for moving, birthday and finally MEXICO with my sweetheart!

Yummy
Lately, because of the diet, I’ve been thinking more about food and how much I appreciate it. How much of an event it can be and how I occasionally take it for granted or abuse it. Eating is such an adventure. There are so many natural fruits, veggies, spices to choose from and combine, it’s a shame when we waste our time on processed foods. Although, french fries are sometimes the ONLY thing I want. When the diet concludes (two more weeks!) I am going to make a conscious effort to take more care about what I put in my body. It’s always a worthwhile pursuit. Don’t you agree?

This Wednesday I’m loving
A little piece of paradise
Bedroom Eyes
On the rare Monday when I feel rested and refreshed, I am reminded of how integral and productive a good night’s rest can be. Everything in my life depends on sleep: my mood, my appetite, my health. It’s vitally important to have a bed that provides you with the best sleep you can have. It’s also lovely to have a bed you love to be in.
I prefer simplicity.
I am partial to white linens and coverlets – despite the puppies.
I love lots of blankets but a very cool room.
I’m partial to feminine.
I love mosquito nets and gauze.
And, I gravitate toward fluffy and soft.
Feathering Your Nest
I’m in the process of finding a new home. I’ve been living with a wonderful friend for THREE years now. It doesn’t seem like that long, but it has been. I feel it’s time to feather my own nest. While the process of finding an attractive rental for me & wiggles & birdie is proving to be strenuous, I cannot wait to gussy up my new place.
I’m completely inspired by the following sites for house and home decor: Canvas, Horne , 1stDibs, CBell, Graham and Green, Ruby Plaza, The Well Appointed House , Wisteria & Anthropologie
Below are some of my favorite finds.
Crystal Chair, Tufted Chair, Flowers/Vase, Bedroom Chair, Four Post Bed/Crystal Chandelier, Metal Dining Table, Drop Pendant, Patio Chair, Stacks, Antique Blue Side Tables, French Writing Desk, Art Deco Bar Cart, Moroccan Leather Pouffe, Portabello Cabinet, Crystal Table Lamp, 50s Style Chest of Drawers, Lucite Etagere, Clover Mirrored Tray, Lucite Side Table, Mantadia Rug, Ruffle Shower Curtain, Crowned Crane Bedding
Jewelry Porn: Cuffed
Cuffs are so much fun, don’t you think? I’m talking about cuff bracelets rather than handcuffs, which are inherently not fun. I was reminded by an email from Charm & Chain how much I love cuffs.
Enjoy!
