Socks....Knocked Off

We all know that online publications are everywhere these days and I have a few that rank high on my list (Lonny, Rue, High Gloss, etc) but the April/May issue of ADORE has got to be one of the best issues to debut yet!!

Adore...You have completely knocked my socks off!!

I about jumped out of my seat when I flipped/clicked the page and saw the super sweet and cute Kirsten Krason of 6th Street Design School!

I fell in love with her living room not too long ago when Kirsten gave a sneak peek on her blog and was ecstatic to see Adore give a complete tour!!

So bright and bold...Full of Life!!

Have you had a chance to check out the issue??

Were you as impressed as I was??

For The Love Of Cooking...

I LOVE cucumbers...my favorite way to eat the yummy veggie is probably the simplest...sliced and soaked in vinegar with salt and pepper...Ta-Da!!

But hello??? Am I living under a rock? 

The thought of grilling a cucumber never crossed my mind??

A zucchini of course but not a cucumber!

Sweet Tea & Good Company

There is nothing better than entertaining guests outdoors!

I absolutely adore a warm sunny day, lounging with a tall glass of good ole' southern sweet tea (or maybe a nice white sangria) surrounded by gorgeous flowers, great friends and family!

Here are a few outdoor spaces that have my wheels a turning...

DIY Pom Poms

Give me a P Give me an O...OK so not that type of Pom Pom (although I must admit I have every pom pom from cheerleading since the age of 5 stored in my parents attic...sad I know) but still a pom that's sure to bring lots of cheers!

I love a good DIY project especially when it's fun and festive.  Pom Poms are creative way to liven up any party and SUPER easy to make.

I was fortunate enough to attened Paris Fashion week back in 2005 (way to long ago...seriously time revisit the city of love) and the entire experience was totally amazing but, what is most captivating about Paris is the street style...anything goes!!
