Random Wednesday 2/27



I don't know about you, but I'm suffering from a serious case of needing to get out of the house/ winter doldrums.  I have little to no motivation and feel bored all the time.  Maybe it's just February.  We've had too much rain lately.  It's time for a fresh start and some spring cleaning.  Can you feel my excitement?

I linked up with one of my favorites today.  Shanna is totally cool, so please go check her blog out and follow along!

I have an affinity for books.  I'm always reading something, and 9 times out of 10, you can find one in my purse, one in a tote nearby, and if I ever leave the house, one in my car, just in case.  You never know when you might get to go on a long adventure in the car and actually have to talk to someone if you aren't prepared.  

I wanted to share a few of my favorite coffee-table style books with you.  They are great sources of inspiration for me, and I love the extra touch they add to my table!






Allegra Hicks: An Eye for Design






Kelly Killoren Bensimon: American Style from A to Z



     

Emily Schuman: Cupcakes and Cashmere



  

Kelly Wearstler: Hue



   

Kate Spade New York: Things We Love





Farid Abdelouahab: Muses: Women Who Inspire





Michi: Like I Give a Frock





Chloe Quigley & Daniel Pollock: What on Earth Are You Wearing: An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Fashion



I hope you find something that you love on this list!  Everyone knows that a delivery from Amazon is always a happy one, so get to ordering!

4th of July Lake Picks

Is anyone else having a hard time dealing with the fact that July is almost here?  I always spend the Fabulous 4th holiday at Lake Sinclair with family and friends.  We cookout, take boat rides and host an awesome fireworks show!  With all the fun that's being had, I don't like having to worry about having everything I might need.  Keeping things simple is key.  Here are a few things that I plan on using as my go-to picks for this summer season...

Time to set Sail

Creating a fun, casual look for an afternoon on a boat or at a bar-b-que
 
I'm really enjoying the mint green details that I'm seeing out and about this Spring!  It's refreshing after months of winter blues and grays.  The ballet flat by Chloé is a great addition!  Not only is it simple and comfortable, but classic as well.  My favorite piece would have to be the scalloped shorts.  They are girly and chic with a bit of sass.
