San Diego!

I'm heading to San Diego for an extended weekend!  So excited to see friends and family.  The weather is supposed to be classic Southern California--high 70s during the day and low 60s at night with clear and sunny skies! After the thunderstorm I drove through last night I can't wait for this:

I just have to finish packing first!

King Bed & Skyline Furniture

The king bed I ordered from Joss & Main arrived, and I have been meaning to show it to you.  Unfortunately, I can't find my camera charger (I know it's around here somewhere), so I only have a cell phone picture to share.  I am loving the new bed:

I was concerned about the quality and look for the price, but it had gotten rave reviews when I looked at it online, and it didn't disappoint in person.

The bed is Skyline.  I had been admiring these headboards before, but it took the online sample sale to get me to actually go ahead and make the purchase.  Currently, this company has quite a few upholstered options on CSN Home that look great for extremely reasonable prices:

This simple tufted headboard is a classic option:

This one with nailheads makes a bigger statement but is still quite simple and refined:

Another classic tufted headboard with a small arch at the top:

This wingback headboard is the one we ordered, and it is true to color.  It is a velvet white, and not off white, which I was concerned about prior to seeing it in person:

This one looks strikingly similar to the Crate & Barrel Colette Bed but at a fraction of the price!:

"Shocking" Pink

This DVF dress was love at first sight.  The bright colors paired with neutral hued accessories just might make the perfect dress for a special event I'm attending this weekend.  Details to come...

1.  Michael Kors Belt Bangle
2.  DVF Edna Dress
3.  Kendra Scott Trista Chandelier Earrings
4.  Nars Nail Polish Adelita
5.  Mark & James by Badgley Mischka Flirty

Belize Bound!

Next month I will be here:

Thanks for helping us choose--Belize for our vacation spot!!

At the beginning of this year, I made a travel wish list, and it looks like we are going to be making it to two locations on that list this year!  I would say 2011 has been good to us!

Monday Escapes

I am taking you on a sunrise journey this week...

Hop in a boat and paddle along...

This is not just any River...

it is considered holy, a place to purify oneself...

Along its banks...

It's the River Ganges in Varanasi, India!

Have a great week!

HAIR

Earlier this week, we got to see the Broadway production of HAIR that is currently in Dallas.  I had the CD growing up but had never actually seen the musical.  We ended up being in the front row, and the energy was electric--we even got to dance on stage with the actors at the end of the show!

The costumes in the production inspired me to make a style board of late 60's inspired clothing, which is decidedly as in fashion now as it seemed to be at the end of that decade:

1. Asos High Waist Flare Jeans 

2. H&M Fur Vest 

3. Free People Sheer Shoulder Buttondown with Ruffle Sleeves

4. Free People Arrow Feather Hair Clip 

5. Free People Shoreline Binneti Bag 

6. Dogeared Peace Friendship Bracelet 

7. Sam Edelman Kellan Wedge 

You've Got Mail

I got something very exciting in the mail today!  The eagerly anticipated wedding invitation to one of my best friend's weddings that I am in next month.  This is the most elaborate and gorgeous invite I have ever received, and I have her blessing to share it:

The wedding is going to be one amazing affair!
