Now You See Her

This book is a great thriller, I couldn't put it down! If you want an interesting "mystery" type of book I highly recommend Now You See Her. 

Finally got my nude heels.

I had a birthday yesterday and the hubby surprised me with these:

The Moos from Aldos. I love them!
(So Kate Middleton)

Coolest furniture. Ever.

One day my house will have all this amazing furniture...

Picture.

I know this picture is a couple months old, but I still think it is one of the greatest pictures ever taken of our government leaders at work watching one of the greatest missions in U.S. history being carried out.  

Check out the cute rooms in this NYC townhouse

I absolutely love the look of books and using them to read AND decorate.

I love the white table with the painting behind to it to add a touch of color

Not only do I love the two chairs, but I love the assortment of photos, paintings, and shelves on the wall behind the chairs. Very cozy.

I like the way they used a magnet board and a chalk board on the wall behind the desk to create a great study/organization area.

Upholstery Chairs

I think these chairs are so cute! I think this is a great way to add color to a room.

One day I want a loft just like this.

Love the jeans.

I want this entire outfit! So cute! But most of all I love these jeans! Do you think the wide leg (flare) jeans are coming back? I sure hope so!!! When you have bigger thighs (like me) wide leg jeans make your thighs look SO much skinnier. My fingers are crossed these become popular again. Even if they don't, I still want them. I'll sacrifice being out of style to have skinny thighs ANY day.

Adding blue to my wardrobe.

I never wear blue. So I think I want to buy this outfit.

The Help

I loved this book and the touching story it tells. I highly recommend reading it.

Happy 4th of July...2 days later

This is what we did for the 4th:

Washington D.C. on the 4th of July is an incredible experience! We are so grateful we had the opportunity to be apart of it! Click here for a video of the D.C. fireworks recorded by PBS.

Good Stuff Eatery

We ate here for lunch Friday, yum! Even better than Five Guys in my opinion.

A.K.A. Billy Buttons

In my future modern home, I think I need to make these and create this display.

Nude heels

I need her outfit, but mainly I just want those heels. 

East coasters love them. Kate Middleton loves them. And I love them. 

Favorite Accessory Lately.

I haven't owned a watch since I was 5. When I was in NYC I bought this watch. Best investment ever, it goes with everything! I will never go back to my "not wearing a watch days." Sold.

Giving into peer pressure...

Just like everyone else, I also loved these books.

I really tried not to give into the pressure of obsessive book trends (aka Twilight), but this series was worth giving up my pride and getting into. So should you. You'll be happy with yourself for doing so. No regrets.

Pink.

On a daily basis I use:

Plus, a pink Guess purse. Is this too much pink? My husband thinks so.

Contemporary

I am obsessed with contemporary furniture and design. One day I will have the most modern house you will ever see. But until then I'll just keep dreaming. Here is an arrangement I love. I can't get enough  picture frames and love how these are placed. Oh, and I'm a huge fan of black and white. Since I can't decorate my dream home right now, maybe this will inspire you!

Spelling...

Excuse 

I struggle with this word, I can't ever spell it. Who even knows if I spelled it right for this post?

The Limited

I love The Limited. I love simple, classy clothes and this is where I find them. Today they are offering 40% off everything, including clearance items! (Promo code: Fireworks) I might go broke shopping here, but they don't have one in Utah so I can't help but using that as an excuse for buying as much as I can. Plus, my birthday is in 3 weeks, which I have been using as an excuse to buy everything I want: new shoes, shorts, shirts, purses, etc. Sorry hubby, we can share? With my 40% off I want the following:

Well looks like I just made my Friday night plans. Off to Pentagon City Mall I go!

Evee

This is Evee, our family dog. This picture just touches my heart.

She is our little baby, she loves to be held and cuddled. 

I sure do miss her. 

I'm obsessed with dogs. I think they are the most precious creatures on earth.

Amazon Kindle

The Amazon Kindle is my favorite piece of technology I own right now! I love it! If you  enjoy reading I highly recommend investing in a Kindle. Everyone says that they'd rather carry an actual book, but you will change your mind when you realize the convenience of the Kindle. I'm obsessed with mine. Also, I bought the  Kindle Lighted Leather Cover in pink for my Kindle. Although it was more than I wanted to pay for a cover, it comes with a built in book light that has actually been great to have.

 Now please go buy yourself a Kindle right now!
