Lazy Monday

Good morning, beauties!  And happy Monday to you all!  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Mine was a great one.  I mean who can complain being at the beach all weekend long, right?  However I did get back to the city very late last night so I'm wishing that I could have a lazy morning lounging about before I had to face the day.  Not quite the case, so off to work I go!

Enjoy the day, loves and I'll be by soon to say hi :)

Why Hello, Weekend!

Good morning, loves!  And welcome to the weekend!  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend on tap.

You know where I'll be.  Same place each and every week.  The beach! Luckily the weather is supposed to be amazing so I'm going to enjoy each and every second.  And we're having my siblings out this weekend so I'm even more excited than usual.  Should be a great one!

Unfortunately my Dad is very busy this weekend with something that can't be put off so we'll be celebrating Father's Day another weekend but even though we won't be together I'll be celebrating him all weekend long.  Hope you all have a wonderful time celebrating your Dads whether they are here on earth or up above looking down on us.

Enjoy, sweets!

Perfect Day For A...

Hi sweets! Hope you're all having a marvelous week.

The weather is finally supposed to turn for the better today and that has me craving a fun day outdoors. Wouldn't it be nice to go for a bike ride or a have a picnic in the lush countryside? Or even better yet, how bout bike ride and then just happen upon a picture perfect place and plop on down and have a picnic right then and there.

Have a fabulous day, lovelies and happy almost Friday!

Beautiful By Nature

Happy Wednesday, loves! Breezing right on through the week and I can just about see the weekend now.

As you can see I'm still in an outdoor frame of mind today. Don't know what it is this week but I'm just stir crazy indoors. And I took your advice and went for a little walk at lunch yesterday but unfortunately it was raining so no sunshine for me. Dreaming of Friday afternoon and lazy days outdoors soaking up all the beauty nature has to give.

Have a wonderful day, sweets!

Taste of the Outdoors

Happy Tuesday, sweets! How's the week treating you so far? 

I don't know about you, but sometimes it gets a little bit depressing to have to sit in an office all day without getting to experience the beautiful days that take place outside the four walls that I so affectionately call my cave.  I do have amazing weekends but the weekdays are spent in a windowless office so I don't even get to see daylight the majority of the week. And I know I'm not alone because I've heard others say similar things to me.

So today I wanted to bring a bit of the outdoors in and give you all a taste of what it just might be like outside. And if it's not really this nice out wherever you're living, you can dream right along with me. :)

Enjoy the day, loves!  Hope it's a beautiful sunny one!

Weekend Snapshots

Good morning, loves! And happy Monday to you! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend.

Back today to reality after 3 days in paradise. The long weekend started out on a fabulous note with a rainbow filled ride from the city to the ferry.  Told you I was in a rainbow frame of mind lately :)

Since I constantly go on and on about my summer weekends, I figured I'd give you a little peak of what my summer home away from home is like.  Gorgeous ocean beaches, a beautiful peaceful bay, spectacular sunsets, yummy drinks and yup you're even seeing a few of the adorable deer that roam the island.  It's nature at it's best. And there's no other way I'd like to spend the season.

Have a wonderful start to the week, sweets. And I'll be by soon to say hi!

The Rainbow Connection

A bright and cheery morning to you all!  Hope you're all having a fabulous week. 

Lately I've had rainbows on my mind.  A total gorgeous spectrum of colors spinning through my mind.  And I can probably point to quite a few reasons to explain this. 

Could be the fab new bikini I got last week and wore this past weekend.  Under my rainbow colored umbrella.

Or it could be the multicolored bath range that I've been developing and staring at for months and months.  It's literally sitting right in front of my face on my desk at all times. 

It could be the rainbow drinking glasses I purchased for the beach house on Friday.

And how about the Gabriel Dawe Thread Installation.  Have you guys seen this yet?  It's incredible!  {I can't remember who told me about it so if it was you, please let me know and I'll thank you again and credit you :)}

Or perhaps it's the rainbow sprinkles I ate on Sunday followed by getting to see a real rainbow only a short time later. 

Whatever the reasons, I can't get enough of them.  So much so that I think I need to paint each finger a different color to match my mood this weekend. :)

And with that I'm off to the beach for a long weekend.  Hope you all have a wonderful one and I'll see you all Monday!

One Lump or Two?

Happy mid week, loves!  How are you all doing this fine morning?

I'm off to work but all I want to do these days is be outdoors.  The temperature is perfect.  Not too hot and not too cold so I'm thinking now would be a good time for a little al fresco tea party.  And you're all invited. How does 3pm sound? :)

Suburban Summer

Good morning, sweets!  Hope the week is treating you all splendidly.

Lately I've been dreaming of summer in the suburbs.  The town where I take the ferry on over to my summer house is oh so quaint, it seems like every other house has a swing hanging from a tree on the front yard, and it brings me back to my carefree childhood days in the suburbs of NYC. 

Long days outside in the beautiful fresh air, loving every single second of it.  I remember it all so fondly and it would be so nice to get to recreate those feelings these days.  Yes, I do have the beach but there's something about the grass and the greenery that gets me. 

Dreaming of knocking on the door of one of those quaint houses and inviting myself over for a little al fresco brunch followed by a quick turn on a swing.  I wouldn't be much of a bother and I'd even prepare the brunch.  Think the homeowners would mind? ;)

Enjoy the day, loves!  Hope it's a carefree one for you all!

Rise & Shine

Good morning, loves!  And happy Monday! How was your weekend?

Mine was wonderful.  We were at the beach so it was filled with lots of sun, sand, books, beautiful sunsets, ice cream and even rainbows!  It couldn't have been any better.

Now I'm back and ready to start a 4 day work week.  And before I know it I'll be on my back to the beach Thursday night.

Enjoy the start of the week and I'll see you all soon!
