Happy Monday, everyone! I figured since it’s the Monday after a 3-day weekend (which seems much more painful than a regular monday), I’d provide you with a little pick me up. A little bit of pink should perk you right up.

See how fun that was?!? The perfect cure for a case of the Mondays.

I had the pleasure of attending the Venice Garden & Home Tour this past Saturday. It was a gorgeous day to walk around the neighborhood and be inspired. The homes and gardens were absolutely wonderful. My favorite quote of the day from a fellow tour-goer: “I just went from admiration to envy”.
Envy aside, I had a great time and can’t wait to share. I’ve decided to break up the highlights into a 7-day series. I’ll start from the outside and work my way in. Today’s post covers exteriors.
While many of the homes we toured displayed the best of modern architecture and design, there were also those who chose to restore and embrace the home’s original aesthetic. Other homes focused on creating the most inviting outdoor space anyone could ask for. Here are the exterior highlights.
What’s next? Part 2 of the series will highlight the quintessential Venice garden staple… Do you think you know what it is? You’ll find out tomorrow… stay tuned! 🙂

It’s been a while since I’ve done a ‘Here & Now’ post to tell you what I’m up to, and what’s peaking my interest both online and off. Not to fret though… here’s the latest installment.
Supporting Team USA and staying up way past my bedtime while doing so.

This jacket is absolutely adorable. So grown up but so precious at the same time. I think I have to buy it for Keira.
Something about these two outdoor spaces brings a smile to my face and have me craving spring.

Loving the look of these layered necklaces. The golden arrowhead is my fave.
Well, that’s what I’m up to here and now. Until next time..
