a la Michael Jackson

I'm hopping on a plane tomorrow and I get grossed out by all that recirculated air, think this might be a little too much?

Love this look

I was shopping the looks at Shopbop and I love this but...arrggh I live in Arizona people and it's so effing hot to wear something like this too often. Sadness.

Please don't

I like a shaggy boy's surfer cut but the haircut that is the spitting image of this?

C'mon Moms, seriously?

It's Monday alright!

Smile and Be Happy it's Monday.

Have a big cup of coffee and enjoy!

I want it, I want it, I want it!

I wish I was a genie and I could make these boots magically appear in my closet. I know it's hot as blazes outside but all of the fall stuff is headed into stores and I tried these on and now want them even more.

Happy 4th!

Have a wonderful 4th of July weekend!

Just a little house stalking

Well the lovely Cote de Texas did it again, she got the inside scoop from the fabulous Sally Wheat on her beach home. See how she stalked the Wheat's Houston home and then wheedled her way into getting a peek of their vacation home, genius.

Love this, thanks Joni!

On the fence

I kinda like these, I think they're funny.

Too kitchy? Thoughts...

Enchanted Forest

I'm not usually quite so minimal but I love this photo of the bathroom with mosaic tile that looks like a forest. I bet a bath at night with those candles is simply dreamy.

Batman?

I have to admit I'm actually excited for the new Batman movie franchise The Dark Knight to come out just so I can see the hotness that is Christian Bale.

I know it's not my usual fare, however during my daily jaunts to gossipland it's become quite a hot topic and it's got me just a bit excited.

I'm going to have to do this...

Think these would be too much for someone's birthday bash? I love 'em and would love to surprise a hostess with a stash just for fun.

Lime Tart Yumminess

I love to drool over Cupcake Bakeshop's blog, she has the tastiest sounding cupcakes around and such detailed instructions on how to make them.
I could honestly spend hours poring over all of the innovative recipes.

Organization, here I come!

I always want to be organized but my secret is out, I'm totally NOT. A lot of my life is a series of disarray much to the dismay of the hubs. I wouldn't say every portion of my life is a disaster just the parts that are not usually seen by the outside world (office + closet). I have been salivating over the goodies at Russell + Hazel, they have all sorts of pretties to keep you organized.

I really want these mini-binders probably more because they're cute than the hope that they might turn me away from what I like to call organized chaos. Really though, who am I fooling?

Vacation is officially over.

So starting tomorrow I will be drinking only this

and eating only this.

Don't you hate that about vacation?

Ken Fulk

I know most of us design junkies get a lot of the same magazines but when I saw the ranch of Ken Fulk in House Beautiful I thought that I'd died and gone to heaven. Ken Fulk is one of those designers that I always think, "I love that" and then when I look to see who designed the room I'm not surprised.

Hello, nice to meet you.

This kitchen is to die for, and those stools...swoon!

Oh I'd love to join you on the patio for dinner.

Thanks for the invitation a swim sounds great.

Oh Ken, can we please, please, please be friends?

I'm back!

I'm back and very tired. We had a wonderful time at the beach and the boys are just loving it now so it was hard to leave. I took my 4 year old to Legoland, it was his first experience with a theme park and he was great, he waited pretty patiently for the rides and was thrilled with his pirate's booty. I thought that we should start a little smaller before we hit Disneyland and I'm so glad we did.

My little matey

We go to San Diego every year but this was the first time since having children that it seemed a little easier, not all of the diapers, naps and well just littles being littles. I certainly didn't wish those times away but having the boys laugh and loving the waves was certainly a lot of fun. We didn't do Sea World or the Zoo this year but honestly I think my beach babies would tell you that the sandy beach and cool breezes are where it's at!

Happy Weekend!

We are headed off to the beach for some R&R and I will be gone all next week. Hopefully I will have some time to check in, but if not I will be back on the 30th. Have a wonderful weekend!

What's your style?

For those of you that are thinking you might want to try Pilates but are a little hesitant to take the plunge check it out the post on the different styles by Heads Up On Your Body. It's very informative and might help you decide on what would be best for you.

The platter by Paula Hamilton is gorgeous and sadly she doesn't have a website (yet) but good ole' HB did have a photo I could share.
