Wishful Thinking...

That's right. I can hear it very clearly.  Alexander Wang's Rocco Duffle Bag is calling my name, telling me this is my bag when spring finally shows up.  Ah... wishful thinking :) 

Happy Wednesday.  We are half way there... 

Tough & Flirty

(Whoops!  I had 'ii' as 'iii' earlier today!  Clearly, it was too early in the morning~~)

i. La Mer Multi Leaf Charm Watch; ii. Helmut Lang Sea Wash Legging Jeans; iii. Madewell Silk Peasant Blouse; iv. Marc Jacobs Rio Satchel; and v. Vic Matie High Heel Lug Sole Bootie

I love the look of contrasting styles in one outfit that result in an overall appeasing and cohesive look, like the above tough yet flirty look.  The leather-ish leggings, bag and shoes are a bit tough but the silk blouse and pretty watch bring lightness and flirty feminine touch. Hopefully, these will go on sale in the near future and I'll be rocking me some tough and flirty look!  

Monday E-Design: Wake-Up Call

Phone for iPhone  // Bedding  // Table Lamp // Monkey Ceramic Plate // Pink Orange Mug

Happy Monday~~  How was your weekend?!  It's no 3 day weekend for me, unfortunately.  But I did notice that there are some President's Day sales going on, so I guess I'll try to find some comfort in that!  

I haven't done an E-design on a bedroom in awhile.  Remember I used to do one almost every Monday?  Like here, here, here, here, and here.  I kinda missed it, so I brought it back :)  I would never decorate a bedroom with THIS much orange and nothing else but spread out here and there, mix with some muted gold, light beige, it could definitely work. I'm not sure I'll get any sleep in the room though, it's so bright!!

Hope you have a great Monday~~

TGIF - Whatcha Up To?

in clockwise order:  here; here; here; here

TGIF, friends~ I love Fridays.  I always have so much ambition as to what I should accomplish over the weekend.  Last weekend was a pretty productive one and hopefully, I'll be just as good this weekend.  

So, who's ready for spring?  I think the dark mornings and nights are getting to me and I need some sun in my life. I went on Pinterest to look for images that will remind me of what Spring (and maybe summer too :))looks and feels like.  Don't you just love the pastels and bright colors of spring?  Counting down 'til those days :) 

Have a great weekend~~

Happy Valentine's Day~~

Happy Valentine's Day~~  And give your guy, girl, mom, dad, your special ones an extra hug and a big "i love you"!

p.s. The above heart is from Terrain shop, when I was there for my wedding anniversary.  I saved this picture for today :)

Current Wish List

I think about arranging and re-arranging things around the house all the time.  This process also gets me to think about adding things around the house.  Because I hate clutter, I then think about getting rid of things around the house.  Yes, it's a crazy cyclical kind of a process.  So, I'm in that phase where I want to add a couple of things around the house. You know, some pieces that pop without being too obnoxious. Here are the things on my current wish list~

a. Milk Crown Jewelry Tray; b. Lucite Tray; c.Diptyque Paris Candle; d.Colossal Wishbone;and e. Fortune Cookie

I can just see these things on my night table, or on a ledge in my bathroom, or our coffee table.  Small pretty things like these do make a difference around your house and for me, make me SO happy :) 

What I've Been Wearing Lately...

What I've been favoring out of my closet lately...

From top: doggie tee and leaf necklace (no longer available online)from Anthropologie;  Stripey jacket from Target, dotty shirt from Ann Taylor (old/no longer available), necklaces from J.Crew (old/no longer available); Fair Isle sweater from J.Crew (extra 30% sale right now), bottom zip-up cords from J.Crew (similar), and Frye Lindsay Plate boots from Piperlime.

I'm no "fashion blogger" per se but I do LOVE fashion!! AND I love comfort.  So everything above is 100% comfortable and practical :) I know I'm going to wear the heck out of these pieces for a long time, which is an added bonus, right?! 

Happy Tuesday, friends~~
