Memorial Day 2012

Hello, friends!  I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend.  I have to admit, I really needed the relaxation that came with this weekend.  Although it was busy, my batteries are fully charged and I'm ready to tackle my 'to do' list and have a productive week. Here's a little glimpse into our Memorial Day, which was filled with friends, family, food, floating in the pool for hours, a very tired-from-swimming Tucker, and (of course) lots of fun. 

And to Mama Fabulous, who worked so hard cooking & baking all the amazing food we enjoyed...THANK YOU!!  You are the best! xo

First and foremost, Happy Memorial Day!  I'm off to spend the day with family and friends by the pool, but first want to share what's inspiring me this week.  I'm sure it's no surprise that I'm most inspired by the colors of our flag, and the start of summer.  I love this time of year!  Enjoy your day, friends!

Happy (Holiday) Weekend

The long weekend is here!  I have quite a few things going on...catching up with friends, my dad's birthday, and BBQs.  Although I wish I was laying on a beach like the one below, it's sure to be a fun time.  What are you plans for the holiday weekend?

A few of my favorites this week...
I definitely want to try these DIY Cupcake Flower Lights.  So cute.
I'm loving this shop full of pretty clutches.  Geometric shapes and leather accents?  Yes, please.
Rhi's Paint-Dipped Centerpieces are so very lovely.

Enjoy your weekend!  xx

Memorial Day Style

I have to admit, Memorial Day weekend crept up on me this year; May has flown by! For me, this weekend is the official start of summer, which means I want to spend the day by the pool.  This year, I'll be grilling out and relaxing poolside with family and friends. I'm really looking forward to recharging my batteries and kicking off the summer season outdoors.  What are your plans for the holiday?
