Things I love : Spring Edition
4/17/2012
Spring is such an easy season to love. The weather turns, flowers begin to bloom, and you can break out those gams you've been hiding under pants and tights all winter. I remember in college, the first day of warm weather called for a 'study' date with my girlfriends on Slusher Beach followed by a beer on the deck of TOTS. (If you are in the know, then you totally appreciate that memory. If you aren't, you are massively confused).
Peonies hold a special place in my heart from our wedding, but I have always loved these gorgeous buds. And ranunculus...le sigh. Such a gorgeous flower to spruce up any space.
I adore stores that help you celebrate your birth month with discounts and give-aways. I always look forward to my 15% discount to Anthro (as if I need an excuse to shop there!) and it's gorgeous packaging; my freebie from Sephora - this year it's Fresh Sugar lip balms (amazeballs!); and Godiva gives you a free piece of chocolate. Really it's the perfect trifecta.
Warm weather and longer sunlight hours means mandatory evening walks with our little family. It's a good thing because Coco needs to shed a few pounds...as do I.

Peplum
I've been searching for the perfect peplum outfit since Emma Stone debuted this look. If only I weren't so dag-gum picky.
Wedges
The perfect summer shoe...

Ole Henriksen
I've been obsessing over the Sheer Transformation face lotion since I tried it back in January. I've been diligently using up the face lotion that I have so that I can replace it. Alll.most.there.....
Baseball (and the end of basketball season)
I know this is blasphemy because I live in the heart of ACC and basketball country (insert eye roll here) coupled with the fact that I was almost born in a car after the NCAA championship game (true.), but due to old high school cheerleading scars, I loathe basketball. However, I love love love baseball. Specifically the Atlanta Braves...and Chipper Jones. Holler.
On this note...anyone seen the new additions to the VS Pink MLB line?! Love.

Evening walks with the family
Today is my birthday. And like many women, I spend the entire month of my birthday in a state of celebration. (It's all about me afterall). In any event, clearly this birthday will be a little different, but I've been working up inspiration since the beginning of the year for how I want to officially celebrate my birthday (which will likely not occur until May). So this year to celebrate the fourth anniversary of my 25th year, I'll be trying to capture some the Gatsby-themed charm with an outdoor dinner party - themed apparel required, of course.
Have I mentioned my birthday is coming up? Well, it is...and as always, I'm pretty stoked about it. I love any excuse to celebrate and this year, we have so much to celebrate and be thankful for. I've been working on a little birthday wish list to share with Hubs and I thought it'd be nice to share with you kids what I've been eyeing.

Anything else I should have my eye on these days??
Celebrating their 15th year next year, Jimmy Choo has announced a special crystal collection to commemorate this milestone. Happy Birthday Jimmy! Here's to many many more years of beautiful shoes!
