Bucket Fillers




This past spring my mom and I made a trip to Chicago to collect a few things for Bloomin' Buckets and most importantly to become inspired. We became completely inspired when we saw these silhouettes painted on the wall in fun colors. We decided it would be a fun thing to add our silhouettes on the back wall of the store. It was tons of fun giving the Buckets a bunch of new "faces!" We call ourselves the bucket fillers!

A Wonderful Weekend

Lovely weather this weekend to go along with a lovely birthday celebration for my wonderful mother. With two weddings on her birthday we did not get to partake in much a celebration (minus doughnuts for breakfast). But we surely made up for it. After waking from a pleasant slumber I treated my mom to a delicious crepe at our favorite little spot and then off to the mall. My dad and I bought my mom the coolest rug from Anthropologie that we hung above their bed (pictures to come). My mom has always and will forever be satisfied with the simple things in life and for that I admire her. Last night when she was lying in bed she kept repeating, "I'm in heaven!" There is nothing more I needed to hear. I think my mom had a great birthday! Happy happy mommy dearest! Words cannot even begin to describe what an amazing women you are. Love always!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend as well! Here are a few late, but great posts from around the web, enjoy!

Donna Martin

It is really hard for me to choose a favorite from 90210, but... if I had to pick, I would choose Donna Martin. What a gem! I have always been an avid fan of the crop tops and the high-waisted shorts/pants. Sweet little innocent Donna, always trying hard to fit in. I don't know where that show would be without her. Donna, thanks for all the great years, you are truly an inspiration!

90210

Today is the only day ever where the whole day could and should be devoted to this lovely crew! September 2, 2010 (9/02/10). When 90210 is premiered in 1990 I was only four years old and therefore not allowed to watch the show. I had no idea what I was missing until about two years ago when my sisters and I rediscovered the show. Lucky for us Soap Net started playing 90210 and after watching one corny episode we were hooked. We started DVRing as many as possible and would rush home from work to watch them. I am actually embarrassed to tell you how late I would stay up watching these oh-so-clever episodes. With a busy schedule and neither sisters at home, I have sadly paused 90210 for the time being. I just thought I would devote the day to some of my favorite pals. Hope all you other fans do the same!

Jeans & Tees



My favorite season is quickly approaching and I cannot stop dreaming about my fall wardrobe. My favorite outfit of all time is jeans and a tee. I am obsessing over these killer combos Madewell has paired together. What a simple way to look chic this upcoming season! Fall, please come quick!

Post-its

I have always had a love for post-its; we go wayyy back. When I saw this chalk board calendar made out of the little stickies I thought it was simply brilliant! What a wonderful way to keep your life in order.
