WILD THINGS

Nothing jazzes up an arm party quite like a little bit of Mother Nature!  J Crew's got ram heads and elephant heads all bejeweled and enameled and ready for a night out on the town.  Perfect for the party animal in us all.  (Ha ha, get it? Party animal? I crack myself up.)

So many sparkly shift dresses, so little time!

GO FOR GOLD

USA! USA!

Who's excited for the Olympics??? I can't wait to watch the Opening Ceremony tonight!  The Olympics are always a highlight of my summer.  My family gets really into it - we tape all the events and sit around the TV at night and watch them.  I'm most excited to watch Phelps and Lochte battle it out in the pool, see some stellar gymnastics, and cheer on the US women's soccer team to a gold medal.  What's your favorite Olympic event?

GRAB LIFE BY THE HORNS

Totally digging this room. I'm all about the blue and white, and then you've got the gold keeping it classy and the pop of pink to take things to the next level. Throw in a cool paint job, the sweet gold horns above the bed, and that floor....I'd move in if I could.  (And if the previous owner just happened to leave that purse behind, well, hey - finders, keepers, yeah?)

DRINK OF THE DAY: BLOOD ORANGE MARGARITA

In honor of National Te-kill-ya Day, enjoy this yummy twist on the classic margarita!  Bottoms up!

So I (along with every other blogger on the internet, apparently) am head over heads for the Cartier Juste Un Clou bracelet.  So sleek!  So tough! So....expensive.  If you, like me, aren't making the big bucks this summer but are really feeling the nail-as-bracelet vibe, check out the CC Skye Nail Bangle.  Obvs not the exact same, but it's a similar style without the hefty price tag.  So take the extra $$$ you saved and order yourself another margarita.  It's National Tequila Day, after all.

BACK ASHORE

Hey y'all! Sorry for the long absence.  I've been on the East Coast working at a summer camp and teaching kids how to sail - major fun and one of the best experiences I've ever had.  Lucky for y'all, I'm now back home and back to posting, so look for regular posts from here on out!
