Easter eggs.

4 Comments Posted by on April 2, 2012

I haven’t dyed Easter eggs since I was a kid, but something made me stop in the aisle of the grocery store this week and grab a kit. Of course being the DIYer that I am, I couldn’t stop at just dunking the eggs in colored dye. I broke out some of my neon washi tapes and went to town decorating them with stripes. I’m enjoying the pop of color  seeing them in a bowl on my counter top!

Kitchen drawer upgrades.

2 Comments Posted by on March 30, 2012

On the surface my apartment has lots of details that make me proud, but please don’t open my kitchen cabinets. You’ll find pint glasses that were most likely carried home from the neighborhood bar and a mismatched drawer of silverware I collected across several dorms and collegiate apartments. So, needless to say, I’m looking forward to upgrading a few of those items when wedding registry time rolls around. Recently flipping through the Sur La Table catalog to get some inspiration for these kitchen upgrades, my eye caught the gingham pattern on these paring knives — and at just $9, they’ll feel at home next to my mismatched silverware.

Three pinks.

Leave a Comment Posted by on March 29, 2012

Sometimes I don’t realize I’m having a ‘moment’ until I look back and my pinterest boards and notice a trend in my pins — from the looks of it, right now I’m in a hot pink phase. I’m eyeing this super inexpensive striped sweatshirt (it’s only $17!) and those dip-dyed earrings are a DIY with my name on them!

5 under $50: Gingham

2 Comments Posted by on March 27, 2012

Is there any more quintessential pattern for Spring than gingham? This week’s 5 under $50 features ginghams of all types; I particularly think the gingham sunglasses would make a fine accessory addition to a white sundress for a warm day of brunching al fresco! Which gingham piece is your favorite?

Sunglasses ($32), Earrings ($11), iPhone case ($18), Bikini top ($49) and bottom ($29), Ballet flats ($39)

A place for my tape.

I will forever be a school supply nerd, which is why I spend my hard-earned money on things like tape dispensers for my pretty colored and patterned washi tapes. For just $6, this little desktop accessory is already bringing lots of smiles to my face!

You can order one here.

5 Under $50: White Out

7 Comments Posted by on March 21, 2012

I’m not about to break out the white pants or white sundresses yet — it‘s still only March. But white accessories are fine in my book to introduce when the temperature starts to rise. This week’s 5 under $50 are all white accessories that will have you looking extra crisp without breaking the bank:

Sneakers, purse, earrings, belt, necklace

Pack a Picnic.

2 Comments Posted by on March 19, 2012

I was sitting on my porch yesterday flipping through the new House Beautiful and enjoying the warm weather, it felt like such a treat to be outdoors. And just in time for Spring weather, I saw in the magazine this adorable picnic set from Acme Party Box Company. This would be such a cute gift to give a friend for a summer birthday — and the tote is cute enough to use everyday! I’m inspired now to get some picnicking in one weekend this Spring.

Black and white and green all over.

Dwell Studio knows the way to my heart; zebras and kelly green are a killer combination. I love this pillow so much I have given a brief moment of contemplation to redesigning my entire living room around it. It doesn’t match any of the tones in my apartment right now, but it does match my wedding colors, which might be enough reason for me to buy it!

Spring Break Daydream.

2 Comments Posted by on March 14, 2012

This time of year there are a few weeks when Boston gets a little quiet because all of the college students go home for Spring Break. This is awesome if you are in college and get to go on said break. But, if you are a grown up you stay in Boston and look out your window at the beautiful spring weather and daydream about how much fun it would be to take spring break again. And since it’s my daydream, I feel pretty confident I could rock a tiny nautical bikini like this one:
