Summer Bucket List

Probably not what you are thinking - this is not my 'personal summer bucket list,' rather a list of my favorite bucket bags for summer. Bucket bags are back in a major way, and I think this is a look people either love or hate, there is no in-between (or is there?). I personally love the look, and think these bags are great for days when you don't feel like lugging around a giant carryall.

Cinco de Drinko Fashions & a Winner

Happy Friday, ya'll! I'm SO happy for the weekend...it's been such a long week over here, how about you? 

Cinco de Mayo is one of my favorite smaller holidays, because I love Mexican food and tequila. Give me an enchilada and a margarita, and I'll be a happy camper...just kidding, but really.

Do you have any fun Cinco plans? Here is what I'd love to wear to a party at the beach...




...in other exciting news, the winner of the Locally Grown tee is Lauren, congrats lady! I'll be contacting you shortly.


Happy weekend, everyone! xo

All Tied Up

One look I'm really loving for summer is lace-up sandals. Throw them on with a romper, boyfriend jeans, or your best summer dress to take your look to the next level. Here are a few of my favorite ensembles featuring the lace-up sandal...

Moroccan Inspired Master Bedroom

A bedroom for someone who was looking for a clean, but not sterile look with a Moroccan influence. We decided on creamy whites, and pops of fuchsia to add a feminine touch without overpowering the bedroom. I'm crazy about this pendant, I'd love to add it to my own master bedroom. 


happy hump day!

DIY Oly Studio Pipa Side Table

I have long been ob-sessed with the Oly Studio Pipa Table, have a looksie...

Unfortunately for me, the $1,500 price tag just wasn't gonna cut it for a side table. Bummer, right? Enter: Home Goods shopping trip last week. I was not looking for anything in particular, but as soon as I spotted this metallic monster, I knew I had to have it. I know, not cute - but the shape was definitely there. I knew with a little spray paint, it could look like the real deal. For $99, I didn't have much to lose. To my studio garage we went. 


looking good already...getting excited



voila! 


I still have a few things to do to finish this area (style the bar cart, order an ottoman, steam the chair, etc), but I am loving the way the table turned out. Not bad for $1,400 off, don't you think? 


Happy Monday!
