I have good news and bad news… bad news, it’s Monday… good news, it’s Cinco de Mayo. Hopefully that means leaving work early for some happy hour margaritas.
In the meantime, I thought I’d get you in the spirit with four of my favorite pinata picks.
Ciao for Now,

Wow… for once I can say I’m happy it’s Monday. Between Keira’s first birthday on Saturday and hosting family for Easter on Sunday… I’m exhausted. In a good way of course, everything was such a good time.
Here are some pics from the birthday party. Enjoy ♥
Awww… Keira blowing kisses to her fans.

It’s amazing how time flies, I mean it’s Monday again already… where did the weekend go? What’s even crazier? My baby is turning 1 this week!! I can’t believe it!
This weekend we’re throwing a little shindig to celebrate. Nothing major, just family and close friends. Of course that didn’t prevent me from dedicating an entire Pinterest board to the event and buying decorations…
Just thought I’d share some of the images that have inspired me in my party planning. Feel free to check out my ‘Keira’s 1st Birthday’ Pinterest board for more.
Super fun right?!?

I absolutely love this little guy! The white ceramic finish is so minimalistic, but the little gold tip on the tail adds the perfect little bit of glam. Oh Sugar (as my grandma would say), I think I’m going to have to buy it…

Okay, so we know that I have a thing with triangles, and right now I definitely have baby on the brain (due in 6 days!). Considering all this, you can see why I’m obsessed with these baby booties. They are absolutely adorable… and reversible to boot (ha ha, get it).
There’s something so chic about dainty jewelry. Case in point, this gorgeous little gold and emerald ring. Definitely on my wish list (well, once the swelling in my hands goes down… ah the joys of pregnancy!).
I came across this gorgeous table setting, and it was love at first sight. Between the gold flatware and the peach tones in the dishes, I was mesmerized. (See more about my gold and peach obsessions here, here and here). Such a great place setting for a summer brunch.

OMG! So, I am completely, totally, 100% obsessed with peach right now! Who knew the color that was the epitome of the 80’s would make such a come-back? I mean, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised… you know what the say.. all trends (fashion, interior, or otherwise) are cyclical.
Just looking at my little moodboard makes me smile. Hopefully it makes you smile too!

Are there any peach items that you’re obsessing over right now?

I’m so excited to spend some quality time with my family tomorrow and enjoy an Easter feast! Not known to be the best cook in the family, I’m always responsible for setting the table.
This year I’m going for a chic, rustic, vintage vibe. Here’s what I’m thinking…
I love the look of this fringed linen napkin with the aged silverware
This table runner has an abstract print that gives it a modern feel, but the burlap base keeps it looking rustic.
Something about Easter always makes me want to combine pink and blue. These blue serving utensils will look lovely popped against the pink in the table runner!
Keeping with the vintage/rustic theme… I absolutely LOVE this pink waffle depression glass stemware!
How great is this dinnerware? It definitely helps to tie in the pink and blue color scheme.
Lastly, so as not to upset my grandmother… a little traditional easter decor

Educational and adorable. I completely fell in love with this piece of art and just had to buy it for the nursery.
I’m dreaming of wearing stilettos again (once I give birth and these cankles go away ;-)) This pair is classic but still make a statement.
These coasters are functional, yes… but more importantly, they are gorgeous! A perfect housewarming gift… assuming you’re not on a strict budget 🙂
I think this rug is stalking me. I see some version of it everywhere I look… in stores, on Pinterest, in magazines. It can only mean one thing… I have to have it!
