The weather here has been beautiful and sunny after a rather chilly, snowy start to our spring! I've been decorating our front porch with new planters and cushions. Last year I bought a great outdoor area rug from Ballard Designs and I love it. We have pretty perennials blooming around our front tree....it's such a fresh & colorful time.
I've been trying to eat better this spring as well. More than any other time of the year, I find spring a great reminder to eat fresh and local. I've cut out a lot of processed food and sodium and feel so much better. I love raw, unsalted almonds and have started snacking on them regularly. So many health benefits for your heart and skin. They reduce spikes in your blood sugar and almonds regulate your blood pressure because they are high in potassium.
Lastly, I can't get my mind off the new tote I saw on Lex & Lynne.
This Vintage Julia Burlap Tote is just so unique. I love the knitted leather detailing along the sides and the straps are great....you can custom select your own color. So great for spring & summer outings! xo
Holiday weekends are such a wonderful treat. Whether celebrating with family, or friends or perhaps traveling....they are a welcome time to celebrate all we hold close to our hearts. The weather here is sunny today and I grabbed a quiet moment to peek at some pretty necklaces from Lex & Lynne. I love this collection! The multi-stranded Sacred Beads Necklace is made up of various wooden beads from India that have a rich warmth to their hue. The Monique Necklace is composed of matte black onyx, obsidian and sterling detailing. Both can be styled so many ways....worn long or wrapped a few times over. May your day be sweet & festive! xo
Yesterday was the perfect day to head out with just a light sweater and leggings. I love pairing a cashmere v-neck with a great necklace. I lean toward jewelry with small detailing and interesting bead work. I love the entire collection from Lex & Lynne but this Sydney necklace is my very favorite. I wear a ton of warm neutral colors and the variation of the rich brown tones in this jasper beading is just so pretty. The great double wrap of the necklace is the very best part of all...I could wear this every day!
