"I’ve been cheating on fashion with furniture"

Image
Has anyone seen the new SATC 2 yet? To me it was good but it was not excellent. The first one was a lot better and very emotional( especially when Carrie got out of the Limo and yelled at Big *gasp! ) and the sequel was pretty much all about fashion with very weak story line. One thing did stood out to me while watching SATC 2 was Carrie's new place. It is gorgeous! See for yourself: I love her closet!!!

Couple of years ago, I went to CB2 in NYC and fell in love with the store. Too bad they don't have one near Virginia Beach. I was browsing through their website and saw these cute plates on sale for only $1.95 each. If only I was closer, I would probably get a few for summer dinners. { image via CB2 }

Up..Up..and awayyyy

When I was watching the movie UP I thought to myself, "what the heck, why am I crying on the first 10 min of this Disney movie." Up is such a heart warming movie filled with everlasting love and enjoying the simple things in life. I was so inspired when I saw these photos from Wild Flowers Photos. The couple came up with the idea of doing a photo shoot inspired by the movie Up. Here are some beautiful photos: to view more please stop by Wild Flowers Photos blog! { image via Wild Flowers Photos } If you havent seen the movie: watch the love story between Ellie and Carl

Kids are expensive, so we have dogs...

I think I love taking pictures of my dogs just a little much but the funny thing is I don't think they mind. Here are some pictures of Miko pondering. and here are all of our three babies. Jet (for Jet li) Miko and Coco. Jet and Miko are both long coat chihuahuas and Coco is a Yorkie Terrier.

Let's get organized!

Image
Over the weekend, I tackled my makeup drawer. It is a mess and I have been meaning to organize it forever. Somehow it went from makeup drawer to hair piece holder. I bought an organizer few months back at TJ Max for less then $10 and it's one of the best purchases I made! Here is the before picture with all my junk. Ta-da! Took me about an hr because I was also watching When In Rome on my laptop =) I was really into the cleaning mood because I washed all my brushes and placing them in an brush organizer. I also placed my lotion and daily essentials in a floral basket. Still in clean/organizing mood , I organized my shoes! This is where I spent my morning doing my makeup. I like natural lighting then the bathroom lighting. Notice the brushes before it was cleaned. How do organize your makeup?

The office

Image
My husband has been taking over the office every since we first moved into our home. He said that it's the one room that he would like to relax, play on the computer without worrying if it's messy or organized. Often when I look at other blogger's office, I am a bit jealous..especially with the nice white parson table. Here are some of my fave: I love Made By Girl's office ! especially her white office chair and lovely wallpaper! From Ish and Chi Studio I would prob won't want to leave this room if I have this at my home. Gorgeous! From Making It Lovely, I LOVE LOVE how her studio is so well organized! From Eileen Josephine's Flickr , So nice and clean! We recently bought this expedit bookcase but still need to reorganize it. Image from Stacey Ann Longenecker Looking at these pictures is making me so tempted to clean out the office! Have a lovely weekend! Happy Friday!!
