Yes, Please!

A few of my favorite Kate Spade spring items. The designers at Kate Spade sure do know how to win a girl's heart! I don't even want to know what the total of all these items adds up to! That being said, I wonder what the average purchase total is on their website. While Kate's price tags aren't in my budget, I think some good inspiration will come from these images!

If I was a flower...

... I think I'd be a hyacinth. Too lovely not to share! I wish you could smell them though! This is what spring smells like.

And a little flower quote for you:

"I' d rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck..."

- Emma Goldman


it is so very true

Now wouldn't this be fun!

Studine Classic Ladies Bike from Velorbis

Yep! I could make good use of this, especially in the new town! I'm already seeing baguettes and fresh farmers market finds in the attached basket!

Easter: A few days later

All the Easter candy may be gone, but the decorations are still around.

Graham Crackers

My sister posted on Facebook that she made graham crackers. Yes, that's right, made them ... as in from scratch! They sounded tasty, and like something I should know how to do, so inquired about her recipe of choice. She sent me the link to smitten kitchen's recipe. Its rainy here today; I think its the perfect weather for homemade graham crackers and a cup of tea. I can almost smell the cinnamon-y honey goodness. Better start baking!

Making a list

I have a long list of things I want to sew and create in the near future.

This style bag was just added to the list...

I love the burlap handles and the shape. Super cute for the Spring! I'm thinking this fabric... an old favorite of mine. The tote will need to be able to hold magazines, a design binder, fabric samples and blueprints.

Purchase from DrikaB's Etsy shop if you need instant gratification!


Love it!

Cute Tee

I almost froze while I sat at my office and watched the snow fall from my window. Brrrr... Enough snow here! I'm sure everyone in the mid Atlantic states agree. I think we need Spring. The fashion industry agrees (and has agreed since shortly after Christmas when Resort and Spring 1 lines rolled out).

With that being said, the first item that should go in your spring wardrobe (and mine too, hopefully), is this tee. Its so cute and could easily be paired with a skirt and denim jacket or flip flops and bermudas. Love it!

I finally figured out how to use Polyvore... I made this in April??? Umm... okay, figuring it out hasn't been a full time project, but a few months is a bit rediculous! Anyways, enjoy this spring-y outfit... a few months too late. I'll try and create some fall outfits and home ideas now that I know how to use it! Oh, by the way, don't you LOVE the eyeglasses? Super cute! Happy Monday!
