Tray Chic

I have been neck deep in tray sourcing this weekend and I seriously can't get enough of these well-rounded beauties. Whether it's a bar tray, an ottoman adornment or a gorgeous way to display your bits and bobbles, I'm all for it. Seriously, trays make everything look better and I am ready to bedazzle my apartment with a boatload of them.

Have you caught Tray Fever too? Fear not, I'll be back a bit later with my roundup of lovelies

A Love Affair with Citron

Citron, Citrine, Chartreuse – whatever you want to call it, it's all the rage and I must say, I'm totally feeling it right now. Just a dash of this spunky highlighter hue really gets the heart a pumpin' and my brain ready for some sun. Lots and lots of sun. Whether you wear it, decorate with it, or pop it into your wedding colors, chances are you are going to be noticed. In a good way of course.

And here are some of my picks for adding a little pop of Citron into your life. Best if not used all at once. Or go for the glory, wear that bra with that yummy, sexy dress, lace up those heels, plop down in your Panton chair and smell that citron scented candle.

A Brunch Birthday Bash

Myka and Tori from Sitting in a Tree recently put on a 30th birthday fete for a friend and I can't stop drooling over the color combo. They seriously had me at those napkins

Walls, Floors, Pillows...I'll Take It All

my current obsession can be found on just about anything and this makes me a very happy girl. I am on the hunt for some Chevron laden curtains for our bedroom and stumbled upon all of these pretty images during my travels so I thought I would share. Nothing like zig zags to get your Monday started off right.

Stripes Galore

I could barely contain my excitement when I spotted my most favorite of decorative designs, the lovely chevron, emblazoned on this new bathmat from West Elm. Serious kudos for getting me giddy over a rug and this one is almost, almost to perfect to step on. So listen up, dear husband, the spending freeze will be lifted for this pretty mat or I. just. might. die.

And the geometric love doesn't end there. Check out some of my other faves from West Elm this season

oh how the stripe lover in me rejoices

My husband has an undying love for The Steelers and was over the moon last night when we watched them beat the Jets and thus win a much coveted spot at the Superbowl. And I must confess, I try. I really, really try to like football but it just doesn't do it for me. I'm entertained for about 3 minutes before I loose all interest and start eating and drinking my way into oblivion. So this is my ode to the Steelers... a little collection of the most fabulous black and gold items I could find. Hey, you have to work with what you got, right?

Color Arranging

Inspired by pretty bookcases and lots and lots of color, I decided to take inspiration from these images...

 and turn one empty bookshelf and our gigantic collection of books into a pretty little work of art. A saturday well spent if you ask me.
