Saturday Sparkle: Stella & Dot

I have been seeing the Stella and Dot ad on many the blogs I read daily and it draws my eye every time I see it. I just love this necklace & a good pop of color.

Maria Aragon on The Ellen Degeneres Show

I just saw this little girl Maria on Good Morning America. She is absolutely incredible and super cute!
I could not find her GMA performance but here she is on Ellen. Love her!

So my resolution to get organized and finish the office is slowly coming along. The office is my girl room, purple, pink and yellow all the way. Currently the walls are a very loud shade of purple. Yesterday I decided I was going to attempt to do something somewhat crafty (and I'm not very at all). I took all the old frames I wasn't really in love with and spray painted them a glossy white. I'm going to make a collage on one of the walls. I haven't exactly decided on the pictures to go in the frames but they will probably be of my family, closest friends and vacations. Here is a sneak peak...

More to come on the office progress. I'm narrowing down the search for a desk, I ordered drapes from etsy this morning and I've been collecting very cute office supplies from all over.

Warm weather coming

Today is suppose to be an especially nice day in eastern North Carolina. 73 degrees! I often talk about how much I miss Connecticut, but on days like these I feel so lucky to enjoy this beautiful spring weather in winter. With the warm weather coming I immediately thought I need a new swim suit and maybe a bag and cover up. Here is what I'm crushing on now:

Beautiful Teal suit by one of my favs Trina Turk

Newest purchase

My husband is truly fascinated by Ancient Greek and Roman history so it was no surprise that he fell in love with this Corinthian style table. We both are really excited to get it into our house and find the perfect spot for it.
