We made it.

Longest week ever, right?  We made it!

I'd love to spend this weekend at a beautiful lake like the one above.  That's actually me at the lake where I've visited many times since I was a child.  Beautiful, right?  (The weirdest thing about all this is that I went to my brother's facebook page to find a pic of this location and found that it wasn't there anymore -- the facebook page, not the pic.  What up, bro??)  We can thank my sister for this wonderful photographic evidence.

Anyway, I could handle some serenity in my life.  That's all I'll say about that (darn public forum).

I hope you all have a FANTASTIC weekend!!

Wishing and hoping.

If I had all the money in the world this pretty would be mine. 

EmersonMade.

Are we all aware of EmersonMade? 

Emerson makes some of the most incredible clothes and accessories I've ever seen.  They're not on the cheapest of sides, but I always find myself going back just to look at them.  I mean, that white tuxedo jacket with the black lapels?  COME ON!  Not to mention the amazing reversible tote she has in the first picture.  Me loves. 

If you've been watching Secrets From a Stylist then you will recognize the jacket in the second picture.  It goes with anything! 

And, of course, her classic flowers.  Where it all started. 

Seriously, ladies, you won't be disappointed: pieces like these last a lifetime.

Bonus!  Go here to see her fantastic house.  I am seething with jealousy. 

Outfit Tuesdays: A Day at the Races.

A Day at the Races. by justagirlandherstuff featuring knee length skirts

All you would need is a big floppy hat and you'd be completely ready to bet on some ponies!  I went to the horsetracks once for a bachelorette party and it was fantastically fun.  Though, all the crazy rules for betting were really overwhelming (especially after the champagne-filled ride there).  Let's just say I didn't make any money.  

Nor did I look as fabulous as you would wearing this outfit.  If I don't say so myself.   

The Golden Ticket.

I heart these bowls and think they would be a lovely addition to any home. 

Note: They are not for use with food.  But I think they would be fabulous holding jewelry, or odds and ends on your coffee table, or just as a decorative piece. 

The perfect bowl for your keys?  I think so!   (I'm one of those people that puts her keys in the same exact place whenever I step foot in my apartment.  And I'm lucky enough to have a charming, gifted bowl from Italy, but this one could give it a run for its money.)
