Tonight's the night! Let there be light! 

Happy Weekend!

Hi lovelies! How was your week? Mine was a whirlwind of awesome which included some fab things for Style Me Pretty. More to come on that. In the meantime, I am looking forward to a weekend of Super Burb bliss. Sir Otto has been suffering from a bit of a limp, so we'll be giving him extra love this weekend, I'll be getting some much needed R&R (while pretend shopping for our upcoming vacation in April), and tomorrow I get to see some of my besties (and one of their babies) to toast to a thing or two. So this board just about sums up where my mind will be come 5pm. And since I rarely think of things in black & white, I thought it might be fun to see my weekend in B&W - you know, to change things up a bit in my crazy ol' noggin...

Live Here/ Like This

I've had travel on the brain lately (let's be honest, I ALWAYS have travel on the brain). Mr. C and I have a list of places we want to go and that list grows every.single.day. Real life tends to get in the way of our dreams of being gypsies, so I often find myself in la la land imagining myself in the gorgeous places I see and dreaming what I would be like if I lived there. So when I saw this stop.in.your.tracks colorful facade, I obviously planned out my entire life as a tenant of this pretty place...wait, you don't do that?

1. When you live in a house like this, you just can't go traditional. I take that back, you can't go FULL on traditional. I think these yellow kitchen pendants would be the perfect POC to shine on you while you prepare apps for your guests (this is totally a cocktail party house)

2. You can't live in this house and NOT dress in happy way. This skirt would be a must.

3. Color...all the way down to the extension cord.

4. ...and floor lamps. Obviously it could work well with a more modern living room...but I think it would be a fun mix up with something a little more traditional. I like a little shock factor.

5. Let there be light...and lots of colorful pillows. This room is a dream. Love every little detail.

Why hello lovelies, fancy seeing you around these parts. How are you? I've missed you so very much - and although I am busy in the best possible way, I do miss chatting with y'all for sure. Every week I say, "Sir Otto, please make sure I blog this..." Or "Sir Otto, isn't this a great idea for a post?" and he constantly reminds me to find time to blog yet I just can't seem to set aside the minutes in the day to get to it. It's a sore spot between the two of us...but we are working on it. Starting with this very post inspired by Mint - the red-headed step sister to the pantone color of the year Tangerine. You see, I love Tangerine - who doesn't? She's pretty and fresh and the perfect POC - how can you not just adore her? But there is another pretty as can be color sneaking up on us this year...letting Tangerine have the spotlight while she freshens up a bit, and that lovely shade is mint. And where Tangerine is energetic, mint is calming - so I am pretty fond of her. What do you think?

Happy Weekend!

I'm sorry, this picture is just too darn adorable. Hope your weekend is equally as cute.

Tuesday Shoesday

I can guarantee a few pair of Tipsy Skippers will be placed on my tooties this spring. They are not only adorable, but local to the Super Burbs making them that much more darling in my book. Will a plethora of patterns - they will make any prepster proud. Just take a little gander for yourself...
