Ice Cream Bar

I think this is such an adorable idea for a party, shower, wedding or movie night.  Grab some of your favorite candy and ice cream toppings at the store and have an ice cream social...so fun!  I spotted this wedding over on Style Me Pretty...Happy Monday!

Travel With Tory

I can't stand taking off my shoes at the airport.  I've actually always thought the airport should have little socks like they do at the hospital so you don't get your feet dirty.  Of course Tory Burch came up with Travel Socks so you can look stylish as you go through security...I spotted these over on Cardigans and Couture and you can purchase the socks and travel case for $48 dollars.   Happy Weekend!

Evening Out

This dress caught my eye and when a dress catches my attention I'm all in...loving this!  The dress is from Yoana Baraschi for $239. 00 and Clutch from Debenhams for $55...Lipstick by NARS for $24.00....and the rest is too expensive to even post but fun to dream...happy dreaming!!

Evening out... by Jenna Davis featuring diamond jewelry

Sweet Organzing!

I'm a huge fan of organizing, like I've mentioned before my entire life is in bins and of course labeled.  I thought this was such a cute idea that I found over on Honey We're Home, I never thought to use cute labels...she has adorable organizing ideas that I will keep blogging on.  Happy Organizing!

Valentines Day: Gold Class

Gold Class Cinemas in Redmond Town Center is one of my favorite new places, and I just can't seem to get enough of it.  It's like watching a movie in a 5 star hotel, it's so fancy but yet cozy and comfortable at the same time.  They bring you blankets, a pillow, popcorn and unlimited drinks...you have your own server and enough room that if you had to check your phone you wouldn't be disturbing anyone.  There are locations all over the country so check and see if there is one near you....what a perfect Valentines date.  I might have to grab a girlfriend and go...

Vintage Tricycle Inspired: Baby Shower

I thought this baby shower that I spotted over on Hostess with the Mostess from 2 Chic Event and Design was adorable.  I love the Mad Libs and Bingo idea for a baby shower.  So cute!!  Happy Vintage Tuesday!!

10 Tips for The Wife: What Husbands Want From Their Wives

I love The Wife blog and agree with her traditional mindset for a wife and mother.  She believes that a wife's job is to maintain a happy and healthy family, home and most importantly husband.  I loved her post the other day and just had to share...I agree!!

What Men Want From Marriage

By Sheri & Bob Stritof, About.com Guide

1. Believe in His Capabilities

Many men believe it is important for them to protect and provide for those they love. Let him know that you believe in his talents and skills and are supportive of him.

2. Understanding

One of the ways you can both tell and show your husband that you want to understand him is by making a commitment to daily dialogue with him. Daily dialogue only takes 20 minutes out of your day. Isn’t your husband worth 20 minutes each day?

3. Affirmation of His Accomplishments

Most guys like to be patted on the back. Compliment your husband often. Just don’t over do it with sicky sweet oozes of how great he is. That type of affirmation will backfire.

4. Acceptance

Many husbands are hurt and angered when their wives try to change them. Realize that the only person that you can change is yourself.

5. Less Chatter

If your husband is tired, or involved with a project, and you really want to talk to him about something, get to the point. If he wants the details of the topic, he will ask for them.

6. Affection

Hold your husband’s hand in public, leave a message of love on his voice mail, massage his shoulders, give him an unexpected kiss. Men like to be romanced too!

7. Respect

Show respect for your husband by not making negative comments about his thoughts and opinions, by being considerate of his plans, and by avoiding the “eye roll” when listening to him.

8. Free Time

Most everyone has a desire for some quiet time alone, and time to re-energize, regroup, and reconnect. When your husband first gets home from work, allow him some free time to unwind. Don’t over-schedule his days off with projects around the house.

9. Trust

Trust is vital in the success of a marriage. If you are having doubts about your husband and find it difficult to trust him, seek counseling and not spying.

10. To Be a Companion

Hopefully, you can say that your husband is not only your lover, but also your friend. Staying friends and companions through the years requires that you find ways to make time together and to do things together.

Alphabet Purse: Topshop

I think these are so adorable, I'm always looking for little purses to use for inside my handbag.  These would also make for a fun gift for only $12 dollars...you can pick from any letter in the alphabet.  Happy Monday!

J.Crew Pick Of The Week

I think this look is so cute from J.Crew and fun for the spring...Happy Friday!!

What a Splendid thing!

Yes that's right, Target is now carrying Splendid for kids, Splendid is the line known for it's soft fabric and cute pieces.  These are adorable! I think I need to run over there today and grab a few of the ruffled tanks for gifts.  Happy almost Friday!! 

Personalized Stamps: PSA Essentials

If you know me and you’re getting married in the near future your wedding gift will be a personalized stamp.  This is my new gift that I’m giving to all my friends.  I just love these and I love them enough I paid a flat fee so I can buy them at wholesale.  Just another fun thing to add to my plate...I really think they make for a perfect gift.  Here are just a few of the fun designs.  You can purchase them online if you search PSA Essentials or let me know if you would like some and I can place orders as well.  Happy Wednesday!!

Bow Blouses

I'm loving flowy blouses with billowy sleeves...and would love to purchase a few for my wardrobe.  Cupcakes and Cashmere has a handful of cute bow tie blouses that I just had to share.  These were a few of my favorite picks and prices :).  Happy Tuesday!!

Oasis Pussybow Blouse $58

Warehouse Lace Racer Back Blouse $81

Warehouse Swallow Print Blouse $89

Golden Globes: Top Picks

I love to watch the Golden Globes just to look and see what all the celebrities are wearing.  Nothing really  stood out to me but I think my favorite was Catherine Zeta-Jones in her Monique Lhuiller gown and Anne Hathaway in Giorgio Armani, the back was incredible!  Happy Monday!

Oscar de la Renta: Little Girls

I'm a huge fan of fancy, traditional dresses for little girls.  I picture dressing a girl in pleaded dresses with ruffled white dress socks, bows in their hair with black patent shoes.   These Oscar de le Renta dresses that I spotted over on The Wife remind me of when I was little...Happy Seahawk Friday!

Emerson Made: LOVE!

I've always had my eye on the online boutique EmersonMade...it reminds me of J.Crew with it's own fabulous flair and class and for that I'm in LOVE with their items.  They have a new line of clothing coming out and I couldn't resist but I emailed them first thing this morning telling them I might just have to buy up every item, or at least that I'm tempted and will treat myself to one or two and to keep me posted when they come out.  So I will keep you all posted when their spring line comes out.  These made my morning...

Google Pillow

Okay, so these pillows aren't exactly "my style" but I'm a big fan of nostalgic items, memorabilia, and conversational pieces in the home.  These pillows would be cute in a media room, kids room or bonus room.  They would also make for a great gift or even just some fun ideas on how to highlight the last decade in top "Google searches".  You can purchase the pillows here on Etsy for $65 dollars.  I think all my friends could pick out my favorite pillow...maybe 2008 and FOX NEWS!    Happy 2011!
