What's on your Agenda?

{via}

    

  I can't believe the summer has already flown by! As most kids (and moms) head back to school it is also time to pick up a new agenda. I love love love the agendas from Lifeguard Press! I have used on for the past two years and it just makes my life easy to follow. They run 17 months (Aug 2012- Dec. 2013) and come in different sizes so there is something for everyone. Also new this year is the monthly planner for those whole need to see your whole month at a glance. My personal favorite is the Jonathan Adler Honeycomb pattern but I also love Gimme Some Leg from Lilly Pulitzer!

Beached

I miss the beach. There is just something about listening to the waves crash and feeling the sun on my skin that sits right with my soul. I love the sound of kids playing and the smell of sunscreen and the "no worries" attitude you get to have on vacation. When I returned from my honeymoon 2 weeks ago one of my first stops was to Nordstrom to pick up a bottle of Bobbie Brown Beach body oil and shimmer. It seriously smells just like the Beach and leaves your skin super silky and sparkling. If you are having beach "withdraws" like myself you need to go get some! 

Smocked.

I have to say, it feels good to be back to blogging this week. Planning a wedding was great fun (well, parts of it were) but I love having my life back and getting to share with everyone the great products on my blog and writing about quirky life things! When I opened my new Smock Paper release a couple of weeks back it felt like Christmas at my house. To say I love this release is the understatement of the year. The colors are AH-MAZING and combined with the gold foiling it makes the release stunning. Seriously great job Smock!

If I had to pick a look that would work in every category (fashion, home decor, gift, etc...) and be both timeless and trendy- I would have to pick the black and white stripe. I love this- I use it in my home and I wear it all the time. It is pattern that will never go out of style and it is especially popular right now. Here are my favorite Black and White Stripe looks.

Each day it seems like I have a new line that I have been swooning over reach my front door. It really is one of my favorite parts of my job. One of our newest lines at Daniel Richards is Sugar Paper. If you are a paper connoisseur then you already know all about Sugar Paper and probably see it mentioned regularly on blogs. Here are some of my favorite pieces- can't wait to introduce it to the Dallas market next week!

Let's Catch Up!

Wow- what a month (or year for that matter!) The Wedding was beautiful and perfect. Everything was exactly what I wanted and i couldn't be more pleased that it is over and life can move forward with my Husband (still getting use to that!)
