Lots of Love for Loot

Today I came across Molly Luetkemeyer's blog, mollyloot. She is an inspiring interior designer from L.A. and I can not stop drooling over her work.

I love her use of color and bold patterns. I must be more like her.

Well, her eye for style at least. 

Sensational Weekend

Hail!

Awesome weekend.

The Redskins game was awesome last night! Even though we could have wished for a better outcome, I'm still proud of our Skins for hanging in there!

This is such exciting news, and I just found out last night, but there is a Jcrew warehouse sale going on right now in Richmond until October 17th!

So excited! I'll be checking it out this evening right after work!

Trend Alert: Make It Stop

Lately, everywhere I look I see animal prints. Now I may be the only person that thinks this, but I hate it. Now don't get me wrong, I think animal prints can be adorable in small doses, like a scarf (I've actually really been wanting a leopard print scarf ) or  pillow here or there, but in general I think there is a fine line between chic and cheap when it comes to animal prints.

 I hate to even say it, but these images from Elle Decor are just over kill to me. And I normally I adore everything that Elle Decor has to offer! I'm shocked. I am having a what were they thinking! moment.

What do you think?

 Am I crazy or should they make it stop?!

Pumpkin Bling

With the oh so popular All Hallows Eve right around the corner, I came across these artistic black and white spooky, blingy pumpkins. I love the sophisticated take on decorating a pumpkin and they would be the perfect accessory at a halloween party! Check out Better Homes & Gardens for some more fun ideas!

Fantastical Birthday Surprise!

Yesterday, I got home from work to find a package from Samson's Aunt J in the mail box!

It was really hard, but Samson wanted to wait until Pop got home to open it!

And what was inside....

A toy a Toy a TOY!!!

And it didn't leave his side all night!

THANK YOU AUNT J! WE LOVE YOU!!

I adore an old fashioned cameo ring. It is such a classic statement piece that you can spend as much or as little money on as you want. The rings above range from $10.00 - $85.00.

Lately, you can find cameo or silohuette looks in everything from fashion to home decor, and I love it all.

Mulch Mulch Mulch

You know you're getting old when....

mulch is in the forefront of your mind.

And in an even more depressing note: it still excites me now that we're all done!

Here is the end result of our lovely weekend work.

The original plan was to rent an aerator and plant some grass this weekend, but they were all out, so please excuse the grass - or lack there of.
