Sweet as Sugar

Good morning, loves! Lately I've been swooning over all things sugary sweet. Care for a macaron anyone? Yeah, I'm talking about all of those pastel shades of deliciousness.

And I'm in desperate need of some lightening up. We'll be heading on down to New Orleans in less than two weeks to celebrate Js birthday and I'm trying to quickly springize {is that word?} my wardrobe.

I picked up a few items recently but I need to squeeze in a bit more shopping time before my trip.

TOPSHOP Pleated Dip Hem Skirt //ASOS Pyramid Metal Tip Clutch // TOPSHOP Mesh Knot Stud Earrings

And in the meantime, my nails will be painted Mint Candy Apple, my go to, I'm anxiously awaiting spring's arrival, nail color.

Enjoy the day, sweets!

Sweet Sophisticate & Happy Things

Morning, lovelies! Oh how wonderful would it be to wake up every morning to this beautiful slice of heaven? I imagine my closet would contain all beautiful flowing pieces in gorgeous shades of barely there. A far cry from the New Yorker in me but I like to dream :)

Oh and yesterday I was so happy to find out that I won Diana's wonderful contest! The Sima Original Golden Bar Necklace! I'm so thrilled. I really really really wanted to win it. The clean simple lines just speak to me and I've been dreaming about it since I entered the contest. Thank you so much, Diana dear. I will wear it very happily!

And also I received a few awards the past few weeks. The One Lovely Blog Award from Bella Gets Real and The Versatile Blogger Award from The October Issue. Thank you so much ladies for these awards! I'll be doing a larger post in the near future to fulfill the rules and to pass them on but I just wanted to send you a huge thanks in the meantime :) xoxo

Hope you all have the most wonderful day!

Sweet Nothings

Happy Wednesday lovelies! Hope you've all been having a fabulous week. I'm so happy that we've made it to the midpoint!

I don't know about you but I've been craving a little sweetness lately. Divine & scrumptious cotton candy, marshmallow & macaroon shaded interiors and fashion. It's all so dreamlike & surreal, right? Bring on the opulent, candy colored excess! Oh it's pure yumminess, isn't it?

What have you been craving lately?
