Don't miss the pillow giveaway

Megan at Honey We're Home is hosting a pillow giveaway, head over now and enter.

While you are there take a look through her blog. I just love what she's done to her home, I think Megan and I are decorating soul mates! I honestly could kick her out and move in with my toothbrush. Just look at her closet, couldn't you just die?

My Oscar goes to...

Emma Stone.
For being a natural talent. For being comfortable, funny and genuine on the red carpet. As opposed to Michelle Williams (that was uncomfortable) or George Clooney (if you don't want to be there, STAY HOME!).  For being able to ACT in your little skit while presenting. Thank you for rehearsing so that you were natural to watch and my stomach wasn't in knots because I felt so uncomfortable and embarrassed for you. NOT like Angelina Jolie - most of us can still hear the gibberish that's coming out of your mouth even if you stick your very long and very thin leg out of your dress!
Way to go kid, you just might make it!


Something's Gotta Give still keeps giving

house envy! It's a lazy Sunday afternoon and the movie Something's Gotta Give is on. The movie is around 9 years old (where does time go, really?!), and I'm still in lalaland watching this movie, or really just in a trance admiring every detail of the house. 9 years, and I'm still madly in love!
what is it that I love? The grey cedar shingles. The honed counters. Cookbooks on display. every painting. the amount of artwork and photos on display. the reading nook. the relaxed colour. All the silk dressy yet subtle drapes. the large windows and number of windows. The beachy colours. The relaxed yet buttoned up all over feel. Not to mention it is on the beach.

valentine's season

Valentine's day has to be one of my favourite holidays. Not really for the "romance" and expectations built around the event, but for the generous use to the colour pink! I love the seasonal store displays and limited time whimsical pink items many stores sell this time of the year, I just cant help myself I want to buy them all! Here's a few pink items that will either make you fall in love with pink too or reach for the Pepto-Bismol (reminder, it is pink too!).
