modern-day galley kitchen

from the heath tile and ceramics throughout, to the ralph lauren light fixtures, and spinneybeck leather cabinet pulls, this butler's kitchen turned modern-day galley kitchen done by designers, tinsley hutson-wiley interiors (here)and dehn bloom design (here) is by far one of my favorite rooms in the  SF decorator showcase this year. the heath tile, union jack mural, and dip-dyed cutting boards as wall art are hands down my favorite things about this room. another favorite room of mine is  the white on cream striped master bedroom by heather hilliard.

spring has sprung

the bellflower earrings by j.crew (here) are the perfect spring jewelry piece, and are currently my favorite jewelry piece at the moment. they're the perfect pop of color, with a vintage feel to them. i've been eyeing them for awhile, and they're backordered until june already, so i think i might have to order them this week.  

follow your heart

i had a low key weekend, (planning a weekend getaway for next month), which was much needed after having one of the most stressful/worst weeks at work. although i think it made me realize that when you love your job even when you're having the worst week ever, it means you must really love what you do (or you're absolutely crazy). although i still don't know "what i want to be when i grow up", i think i'm starting to figure it out. and although i worry about whether i'll be good enough or successful enough, i think what's more important is that i do something that makes me happy, and that i'm passionate about. i have so many reservations about the future, but what i do know is that whatever i end up doing, i will do with all my heart.

getaway

i've been trying to plan a short weekend getaway, which has been pretty unsuccessful with my busy work schedule, but i'm in need of some serious R&R. i've been working long days, which have thankfully paid off, so i couldn't be happier, but i've more than earned a weekend away. i'm hoping to make it a road trip to monterey and carmel.  

dream catcher

i've been going back and forth about going back to school to get my masters. and i think i'm getting closer to making my decision. i have seen so many people around me base their decisions on other people that i want to take a chance and a leap of faith, and do it with no one else in mind, but myself. i never understand why we are so quick to base our decisions on other people, and what they think or what what their plans are, yet those same people don't base their decisions on us. and really, i'm in need of some change and new scenery.

summer sunnies

i love everything about this look. her hair, jewels, sweater, and most of all her sunnies. everything is j.crew and the sunnies are by selima for j.crew. i definitely want to buy a new pair of sunglasses this summer. i would love a great pair in tortoise shell. i'm leaning towards getting the perfect day sunglasses by karen walker (here). i can't wait for summer days at the beach with nothing but a swimsuit, sun hat, and sunnies.
