Its a New Week

Happy Monday dear readers!
This past week at work was a not a pleasant week for me. This week can only be better {I hope} so I am going to put a smile on my face and make the best of it!

So readers I ask how do all of you handle stress during your day?

What I'm Loving This Week

I heart these vintage gold earrings


I heart this ruffled wrap top. {I think this growing belly of mind may need this!}


I heart this dress. I love the color combo and of course the detail of the bow

I heart these yellow rosette show clips. They would look adorable with the dress shown above.

mini Parisians

No matter what the women and children in France will always win when it comes to looking classy as they hold a true sense of style. Though, I do have to say Gap has really outdone themselves with their American in Paris fall collection. All I know is I will be stalking our baby Gap as I wait for this collection to get marked down as it is beyond ADORABLE!









PS: Its even cuter in person. I was in baby Gap last night buying a gift for a dear friend and it took some true will power to walk out empty handed for myself.

My Nursery Inspiration

Never thought this day would come and more less to be decorating a nursery for a little girl. I have to say finding girls bedding was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I found many cute boy nursery sets that captured my heart but nothing really stood out to me until I saw this one. Its the Sophia bedding collection from Restoration Hardware Baby and Child. I also ordered the petal pink rug as shown. I can't wait for it to arrive!

December will be here before we know it and we are slowly making progress on the nursery. This past weekend we cleaned out the closet and cleared out the guest room. Now its time to paint {our walls are already a grayish shade so not sure if I will keep the current color or go a shade lighter} get our carpets cleaned, redesign a closet, decide on and order furniture, and best of all start decorating. Granted I don't have an eye for decorating like others, but this is the look I am hoping to achieve and am using as my inspiration.


Perfect Treat

Umm.... yes please. adorable monogram & plaid decorative sugar cookies + lemonade= the perfect treat!

A Dream Craft Room


It seems that my weekends are no longer filled with fun activities and instead are being filled with getting our home organized and our guest room cleared out as we transform it into a nursery. This would be fun if we actually had the space for our items and didn't have so many things to sort through! All I know is Goodwill here we come!

Instead of banning my bin of stationary, wrapping paper, gift bags, and ribbon to rubber bins that are stored
under my bed and in the office closet I wish I could have a room like this. My favorite feature...the ribbon spool rack.
