So fresh and so clean!

Today, I am linking up with {av} from Long Distance Loving for Friday's Fancies. However, I must confess. As much as I love to follow sports, since having a kid, this is an area of my life that has fallen by the wayside. For the first time since I can remember, not only did I not fill out a bracket, but I don't even have a clue what's going on in March Madness. I miss the thrill of watching games all day and rooting for the underdogs. My sports watching days have been trimmed to football and lacrosse. I have to warn you, I am a diehard Philadelphia Eagles Fan. Seriously. I scream at the television and truly consider myself part of the team. When refering to how the Eagles are doing, I frequently say "we." Behr carries around a Eagles football already, making a momma proud!

So, if Alison, my team, and my Dad will forgive me, I am taking a bit of liberty with cheering for my favorite team today...and even putting a twist on traditional Eagles green. {basically my excuse to share my minty love!} But hey, it's my birthday and mint chocolate chip is my absolute favorite flavor for ice cream and cupcakes! So mint it is.



p.s. all of these items would make fabulous birthday presents. hint, hint.

We Are Heading West


Do you remember way back when we won two free plane tickets?

Well, we have picked a location, San Francisco! We have been to the bay area before, but this time, there won't be any work conferences. We plan to visit good friends, and hit up the sights. If you have suggestions and recommendations for restaurants, vineyards, hikes, or more, please, please share. While we have just begun the planning, my bags are practically packed already! Here is what I am planning to bring or hoping to buy for this trip:






my packing will be basic black with warm berry brights

Already have: camel swag cardigan // my three favorite necklaces, including the newest one // raspberry thermal // polkadot dress // j.crew white scallop lace shell (and the black one!) // gingham check shirt (similar to this one) // baseball tee // maritime stipe shirt (similar to this one) // black prairie boots // red toms // + my packing list

Hope to get: new black flats // rebecca minkoff mini 5 zip clutch in orange // backpack inspired by bridget // emerson made dress

Still hunting for: the perfect skirt and one or two funky scarves

Linking up with {av} for Friday's Fancies!

Freshly Squeezed



The warm weather that graced the East Coast has me craving color in my wardrobe. This morning I stepped outside and realized it even smelled like Spring! Too bad we have snow forcasted for Sunday. I am choosing to ignore the snow and think about a few key items I want to add to brighten my wardrobe!

Gumdrop Stud Earrings from Kate Spade. I have posted these before in other colors. They are my new obsession! // Scarf from Echo, currently on sale at Nordstrom // These necklaces would certainly be a fun statement piece for spring and summer. And because they are so affordable, I wouldn't be afraid to wear them at the beach or pool side. // Loving this neon wrap watch! Watches are my second obsession, but I haven't taken the plunge to puchase a statment time piece. // These lemon yellow heels would blend perfectly with my spring suits, and even better with sundresses! // I am not sure I am going to be able to resist the colorful denim trend. So far I have stuck to my trusty blues and a few pairs of white jeans. But this papaya hued pair from J.Crew has me swooning. // How fun is this shade of Bobbi Brown lip gloss? //Speaking of fun shades, I could be super adventurous and take a spin in the 80s with this stila blush from *birchbox! // And of course, my pedicure would be completely season appropriate with my trusty, Essie Clam Bake!

I have been slowly collecting these favorite pieces for Spring to remind me that the flowers will soon be blooming! I was thrilled when {av} emailed the theme for this Friday's Fancies, Spring Fever. I have clearly been struck!


Obsessed with Green

All shades. Right now. Obsessed. Really. Truly. Almost called this post green with envy. I stopped short of envy.

p.s. I promise that I would never actually wear all of this at once.

Fall Colors



I love the transition to fall.
Crisp, cool air.
Warm apple pie.
Pumpkin lattes.
And new layers of clothing.

In my dream world, these are the key pieces I would pick up to update my summer wardrobe for the new season.

Stella and Dot Gold Soiree Studs

Marc by Marc Jacobs Leather Bangle

Sadly, some of these items have been on my wish list forever, and they are no longer available.  But they are still pretty to look at right?

How about you?  What accessories are on your dream list?

Kate Reed Inspiration: Cross Hatch Dress

It is no secret that I love the character Kate Reed from Fairly Legal.  Her style is effortlessly chic.  Although I do not believe she actually gets ready on her boat every morning and still manages to look this good!


You can look effortlessly chic now too...

Wardrobe Inspiration: Fairly Legal

I have not adopted a new favorite TV show in years!  But a Fairly Legal, a new series from USA has got me hooked.

The series is comic, witty, talked intelligently about realistic issues and most importantly, fashionable.  I have fallen head over heals for the main character, Kate Reed's wardrobe.  Leading me to wonder, can I replicate her hollywood-ized outfits with real life clothing?!  Yes!  Check it out:

outfit from gap available here

and...my very own Polyvore creation:





Kate Reed - Relaxed Nautical



Tune into Fairly Legal, Thursdays at 10:00 est for inspiration of your own!
