Some days you just want to embrace being a girl.  Here are some of my favorite girly things.

I will never turn down a big headband.  Or anything with a bow on it.

Taylor Swift is my favorite go-to girly iPod playlist.
And her fashion sense is the epitome of girly chic.

Have a great Tuesday and remember it's always fun to embrace your inner girlie girl.

Cheers!

seven things.

Here are some items I am loving at the moment.  

1. Gun-metal grays 

I am in love with the Black Pearl shade from Chanel.  Gun metal grays are going to be huge this spring.

2. Bud vases

I got these bud vases from Target, and put some white roses in them to brighten up the room.

3. Rock Lamp

At the West Elm Outlet, I found this BEAUTIFUL lamp for 1/3 the original price.

4. Pier One Dishes

I got these dishes from Pier One on clearance and they're perfect to hold some of my favorite jewelry.

5. YSL Parisienne Parfum

I got this perfume for Christmas and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.

6. Vegetable bean spinach soup

I'm adding spinach to everything these days.  Give it a try, so delicious (& nutritious).

7.  Musings Journal

This journal is so cute.  It is from Davis Kidd and reminded me of my friend, Jessica.

I hope you liked checking out my favorite things.

Have a good Monday and be sure to appreciate the little things in life.

Cheers, B

midtown adventures

Saturday was such a beautiful day that we (sister #1, sister #2, and myself) had to get out and get our Vitamin D, so we took the opportunity to get our adventure on!

We did not plan to both wear stripes, we just have a blood connection.

We went to Minglewood Hall's Revive Energy Bar for breakfast.

They have a cereal bar, where you mix and match/add toppings, and choose your milk of preference and then VOILA!

Yes, that is Honeycomb, Cookie Crsip, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
(Gummi Bears not pictured)

Sister #1 loved the coffee bar.  AND made a little friend.

Sister #2 strayed away from the cereal and got a grilled cheese, with fruit.

Then after we were stuffed, did I mention it was a BOTTOMLESS cereal bar?, we went to some local antique shops in midtown, but we did not find any treasures... We were bummed but we will give it another go soon.  You should definitely give Revive a visit, they are open from 6:30am to midnight or later.  Free Wi-Fi and bottomless coffee for $5.

What did you do this weekend?

come & knock on my door.

If you are not familiar with the website Houzz.com you should definitely surf over there after reading and check out some of their goodies.  You can search all kinds of home design photos, narrowing down your search by metro area, style, or space.  I took a gander at some fabulous eclectic entryways and my imagination was thoroughly peaked.

stenciled patio door = girl's dream come true

leopard print staircase! i never would have thought of it, but i adore it.

green staircase.  loving the distressed wooden dresser too!

the hallway's striped paint job is attention-grabbing.

 Oh and here's a little sparkle for you.

Happy Friday!

tell me what ya want, what ya really really want...

Everyone loves some Spice Girls lyrics. 

 Here are some items I am lusting after, all of which would add some spice to my life.

I was gifted a knit headband like this one a couple days ago, and I am still trying to work it the right way.  However, it looks flawless on this model. Wish me luck on this experiment.

Perfect Valentine's Day shoes, from Nordstrom, that would spice up your favorite LBD.

I am going to attempt to recreate this simple, yet feminine and edgy look with my own wardrobe.  I love it and it fits in nicely with my new affinity for stripes.

I adore and hope some day to own such a wonderfully cute and organized bookshelf.  And the white deer head is a contemporary addition I enjoy.

Kate Spade iPhone 4 case, stylish yet sleek.  Nice work, Kate.
