Kitchen Gadget Junkie
We all have things in our kitchen we barely use and don't really need (I have a few cookie presses that haven't seen the outside of the box). Yet, we still get drawn in to those little kitchen items that we believe we'll use and never do. This Jalapeño Pepper Roaster is one of those little items where I want it and because of the pretty picture I think I need it. While I've never stuffed a jalapeno pepper in my life, I think I can do it. Darn you pretty photos and advertising, you get me every time.
Time For White
>> Wednesday, May 27, 2009
I was a girl raised on the rule that you don't wear white until after Memorial Day. Now you may follow that rule or view it as a fashion suggestion, either way pull out your lovely summer whites. Here are a few inspiring ideas.

Hello Lovely
>> Tuesday, May 26, 2009
to make up for being MIA over the Holiday weekend, I had to share this lovely bag with all of you, like me, who are addicted to bags. Enjoy!
Dress Me Up
This dress is so lovely. The color and pattern are fabulous. Dress it up or down, use for a bridesmaids dress if you're looking for a striking pattern to add into your wedding palette. Of course you can always have it for yourself for no reason at all.
P.S. if you're interested in pattern for your bridesmaid's dresses try this one too.
I heart...

this bedding. I've seen it in a few blog post and just love this fresh floral print.
Solid Gold
>> Tuesday, May 19, 2009
A color hue I notice making a presence this summer is this striking marigold and the always lovely yellow. While these colors can make a bold statement, I think you're a person who loves making bold statements so here's some pretty little things to help.
MICHAEL Michael Kors 'Astor - Large' Chain Shoulder Tote 
who doesn't need a cute little dress like this Silence & Noise Strapless Tulip Dress perfect for impromptu nights on the town.
If that one doesn't work for you, how about this Ruffle Tube Dress
Make a statement through lovely stationery like this garden aviary yellow from Elum.
or this flashback set, my favorite is mom's linoleum.
Besides, who says the only way to make a statement is through clothes or accessories.
UPDATE: I had to add this lovely little shoe to the mix.
Cute and Full of Character

Sometimes, you need little items in your kitchen that start conversations or cause everyone to swoon, "that's so cute, where did you get it." These items fit the bill.

Dear Kate Spade, it's no secret that I'm a tad obsessed with the lovely things you create. When I discover these little lovelies. All I thought is -- what am I suppose to do? I'm in love with this shoe. I don't need it but you make it hard for me to turn them down. So very hard.
Outdoor Daydream

Isn't this lovely? My backyard can barely hold lawn chairs without looking a bit odd, so this would definitely be pushing it, but if you have a yard that would accomodate this loveliness, if you can, please indulge.
PS. On an inspiration side note this black and white pavillion makes me thing about this oh so lovely wedding and location.
Color Watch: Rich Blue Hues
>> Tuesday, May 12, 2009
I love the color blue and this deep vibrant blue is making its presence known in plenty of ways, here's a few of my discoveries.

I Got That Feelin'
>> Monday, May 11, 2009
I saw this lovely little thing on a few blogs and decided to visit the shop. As I looked, I slowly felt this feeling. It's something those of us addicted to bags or shoes feel, where we start dreaming about how lovely that item we now covet would look with this outfit, or how I could use this for that trip I'm taking... the reasoning can go on and on.
I looked at this bag and thought... #1 I need a demin bag to replace one I had {the handle broke and can't be repaired}. #2 It will hold any and everything (what's not to love). #3 Who doesn't need a big bag? Of course I've got my fair share of big "carry all" bags but who's counting? I've set my sights on this one. Look around the shop, you'll fall in love too.
