Cinco De Mayo

I hate when fun drinking holidays fall on a weekday. Alas, tomorrow is going to be a holiday for me because I have taken the day off work to play with my mom and cousin who are coming to spend the weekend with me in SF!
However, I think tonight I might set up a little margarita magic for me and the Hubs (and anyone else who wants to join- cmon' over!)

How pretty are these little cranberry loves? Recipe here from Sunset Mag.



I am also considering this yummy dish for a hot sunny SF day like today. Recipe found on TasteSpotting.

Coctails and Creativity

I have just fallin in love with a new blog: Mint Love Social Club.
Honestly, if I weren't so lazy, I would totally be this chick who is doin' it up like every single day! Creative little home ideas, amazing recipes, and cocktails galore! Here are some fancy Friday Cocktails she has posted. Ummm... for me a little soda water and vodka is the best I can do (sometimes I might even through in a straw from Ikea cause I'm lame like that).

And then there's this one......

So bottom line is... that if I weren't so lazy, I would TOTALLY have friends over all the time and I would make them fancy cocktails. And if we had all those lovely ingredients, I would like to have it look like this in my house(obvs it would be a SF map)....

New Art

I am so excited about this new purchase, that I had to blog about it right away. I have seen this on a few of my fav blogs and finally decided to jump off the ledge and spend the whopping $4.50 to get me my own. I think it's going to live on the "dining" side of the pallet wall. (I will post the official pics once I actually recieve this pretty paper and frame it and hang it.) Purchased from Paper Mojo.

Here is a little taste of it on LGN:

Here it is on Kristen Davis Designs:

Also, will post another pallet wall project later next week too..... hint... it includes wall paper. Crap. I think that pretty much gave it away.

More Shower Inspiration- Billy Balls

I haven't really been in the blogging mood lately. Maybe because I have been dieting? Or maybe because I have been knee deep in work? For whatever the reason- I just haven't been very inspired lately. Or maybe what I am loving right now, just isn't really anything new or exciting. Which leads me to.... Billy Balls (Craspedia).

I think that Billy Balls will be a lovely touch for the twinsy baby shower which isn't until JULY!!!

I am just 'chomping at the bit' (something my mom's says) to get the ball rolling on decorating. So this little blog entry is a way to get some ideas out of my head. I am loving these little darling balls as an accent to any event, but I think they will need to be a MUST at the shower (did I mention it's not until July?)

Lust or Must

This cute one from Piperlime for $50?

Or this extremely more amazing one from All Saints for almost $300?

Native, Rustic, Modern?

I have been thinking about adding a little native american touches (specifically a rug) into our loft space. I think it is safe to say that our style is officially: rustic, modern, contemporary, urban. haha. Why not add "bohemian" to that list? No, but seriously. I think just some subtle adds would really bring some warmth to the place. Here are a few inspirational pics I have found on the blogs this week.....
