Falling Water

Being a design lover and a kid at heart, I was so excited the other day to come across a whole new architecture line of Lego's.  I couldn't believe my eyes...Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater House!  That's exciting stuff!  Don't think I wouldn't put this together and have it out on display in my house.  I told my husband about it and he said, "falling what?  Who's Frank Lloyd Wright?"  I'm like, REALLY?  I thought everyone knew that.  Perhaps just the people who've taken any sort of art appreciation class in college.  Go figure...



You can buy it online from Lego for $99.00.  They have some other great models in the architecture line.


There are a ton more.  If you love design, I highly recommend checking it out.

Be still my heart

While browsing blogs yesterday I came across a beautiful black and white horizontal stripe dress.  I immediately thought I had found a dress to wear to the formal Christmas party we're going to in a few weeks until I saw the price tag.  I clicked on the link and it took me to Kate Spade's website and a $478.00 price tag.  I think I need to keep looking.  But I love the dress so much that I just had to share.  It also comes in one of my favorite color combinations, pink and orange.

I love it.  Classic lines yet fun.

I also wanted to share another black and white beauty that stole my heart a few months ago. 


This stunning gown by Oscar de la Renta.  It's perfection if you ask me. 

Have you seen any amazing dresses lately?

Lovely organizer

I recently found (and purchased) this organizer at Target. I absolutely love the pattern and what's not to like about orange and gold???

They had other lovely designs and it was so hard to choose, but I did finally chose this one. And, with a price under $8.00 how could I refuse.

Baby shower with candy bar

This weekend I hosted a baby shower for a dear friend. She's having a girl and it was so fun to decorate with pink for a change. I've got 2 boys and they didn't know what to think with so much pink in the house.

Everything turned out great and the candy bar was a hit! Pink, yellow and orange. Such a pretty combination.

Setting up the candy bar the night before







What a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Bathroom done

Finished the stripes in the bathroom. Love the way it turned out.

Still need to touch up the tan part near the towel holder. The old one fell off and I had to do a patch job. Just need to paint over that and it's all done.

Stripes in half bath

Home alone. What do I do? Paint the half bath of course. Just over half finished and trying to hurry before the kids get back home.

Baby shower

I'm hosting a baby shower in a couple weeks and I'm super excited about all the fun decorating ideas I have. Can't wait to show you pics but until then I'll leave you with a glimpse of the fun pink stripe paper straws that came in the mail last night. Oh, and I can't leave out the fun chevron treat bags...
