This Spring, my goal is to get our deck looking good. I want to incorporate color and container gardens. Here's some inspiration I've collected so far. I'll be doing a Before & After once it's complete :)

Okay okay this is turning into an IKEA catalog. But I am loving their choices for seating! (Will obviously also have to buy cushions)

 

I receive daily thoughts from Real Simple. This is today's. I really like it.

Dying for this necklace.

Anyone?

Delicate Gold Jewelry on Etsy

I just bought this little beauty from the shop OneLifeJewelry http://www.etsy.com/shop/onelifejewelry?ref=seller_info

Everything is very affordable and so so pretty! I loved that this necklace has both gold and silver so I can layer with lots of pieces I already own. 

Be sure to check her out!

(I bought this necklace with my own money.)

Three Buns

and a lot of twisting

I cannot count how many compliments I've gotten when I wear my hear like this. Surprisingly it is far less work for me than to wear my hear down the way I like to. This is second day hair, lots of dry shampoo and a little hairspray. It gets my hear off of my face and looks polished for the office. I was thinking of doing a tutorial if anyone's interested!

Story of my life. Need to keep this in mind!

Joseph

I am determined to keep this little guy alive. I even bought a real container to keep him in and named him. Can't kill it once you name it, right? I think he's pretty cute!
