Southie

Had a great time in Southie yesterday for the St. Patty’s Day parade! Erin and EE kept me on my toes (as always) and I was very happy to capture this picture of the lovely ladies! Classic.

I was lucky to run into my friend Betsey who is a fellow bridesmaid with me in our dear friend Mosie’s wedding! This was a treat because it can be crazy crowded in South Boston on parade day. I just so happened to be at the right place at the right time! I love how small a world this really is.

It was a great day to be Irish. Cheers!

things i saw, thing i love

Special sunday edition! Hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend! I’m at the St. Patrick’s Day Southie Parade today enjoying the bright sunshine and green beer. Wish the weekend didn’t ever have to end…

Here’s a compilation of things I’ve seen and loved this week… enjoy!

Don’t you just love this shelving piece I discovered on Bright Bazaar? I love how it’s decorated with such brightly colored bowls and pitchers.

I want to make some of this delicious looking Oatmeal Stout Cake with Apples and Whiskey Cream that the ladies over at Big Girls Small Kitchen whipped up. YUM!

This print by elgarboart via Hey Suzy is so beautiful. I love the look of the sky and the tiny people visible in the basket. So pretty!

Blissful Mediocrity posted this for St. Patrick’s Day via Lily Pilitzer. CUTE!

Speaking of illustrations, I love these by Emma Kisstina posted on Little White Whale.

Deviled Eggs are my FAAAAAAVORITE! And these basic deviled eggs from Pinch My Salt look oh so so so tasty.

What a cool shelf of tea pots. Photo from Blue Pool Road spotted on Esquisite Banana.

I came across this picture of Le Petite Prince on elephantine this week and although I read it many years ago, it reminds me how much I loved it and how I need to read it over again!

Hope you’ve had a nice weekend. Spring is coming and daylight savings has brought my spirits up! Have a great week!

orange flavored flats

These flats are so perfect.

Orange creamsicle is like the coolest color EVER.

Cece leather and canvas ballet flats from j.crew!

i won, i won!!!!!

I first need to start off this post by clarifying that I have never won anything in my entire life. At raffles I always cross my fingers and make a wish, but somebody else always wins. Dang them.

Yesterday was my lucky day because I won these TOTALLY AWESOME Le Creuset Bowls from one of my very favorite blogs The Sweet Life.

It was Melanie’s very first giveaway and I WON!
