I Scream for Ice Cream!

Summertime and the Fourth of July especially makes me hungry for my favorite cool down treat. Ice cream and ice cream pops! So I've been thinking I need either the Zoku quick pop maker (I mean it makes ice cream pops in minutes..how cool is that?!) or the Cuisinart Frozen yogurt and ice cream sorbet maker (look at that turqoise!)

Happy Cake Eatin' Weekend!

Don't mind if I do...

Friday Finds

Recently I fell in love with two different owl cookie jars at Anthropologie. Although as we all know..what don't I fall in love with there? One of the sales guys even knows me by my first name..Anthro addict much? Embarrassing. Back to the owls. Seeing those two cuties made me want to look for more owl cookie jars and shockingly enough one of the hooters I saw at Anthro I found an identical vintage one of on ebay. Just a coincidence? I think not. Pretty sad that Anthro ripped this bad boy off so badly but do I want one still? Yep!

Summer things that make me smile

Sweet summer wines..how cute is the Jam Jar Wine packaging, complete with a smuckers jam look-alike top! Also Olde Savannah Sweet Tea wine. Serve it chilled..delish. My little pepper plants that are sprouting hot peppers, can't wait to make some spicy fresh salsa! And who doesn't love the mini sizes from Hagen Daz..the mango sorbet is so nice on a hot day.

Emerson Made Flower Signature Flowers

For some time now I've been debating on getting a statement flower pin. I love EVERYTHING Emersonmade has to offer unfortunately most of it is out of my price range. Why is it always like this? Buuuut they do have some really cute flower pins..that aren't too bad in price. I'm leaning towards the big dandy yellow flower..think it'd be great to spruce up a cardigan or wear on a blazer.

Rompin' Around

I have to admit I used to hate rompers. They reminded me of baby clothes and they were never flattering on me. Since then I realized, hey if it fits badly on the model online..it's going to fit really badly on me! After that realization I've found many styles that suit me and I love them. They are my new little summer dress. Here are some rompers that I heart.

Pretty Palette


Gemma Correll

I love Gemma Correll's quirky illustrations. It may also be that I'm a cat lover but her little sketches of funny cats and girls with silly expressions are so fun loving.


What will she think of next?

Oh Kate...



ICK

So sorry for the lack of posts the past two weeks. After some horrible stomach pain I learned my appendix had to be removed. What a useless organ! But I'm back in action. Funny how unexpected situations like that can come out of nowhere and you have no control. Certainly makes me want to live in the now and make sure this summer is filled with fun and joy!

Light and Tasty

This Asian slaw salad recipe kind of matches my post of pretty palette today but maybe that's why it looks so good, because it's colorful!! I mean seriously, how freakin good does this look for a hot summer day?


Pretty Palette


Kris Atomic

I was first drawn to Kris Atomics fashion illustrations, I adore the round faces of these cuties. But have to say my all-time fav is definitely the "Living with Chronic Bitchface" which I can sooo relate to.
