I Spy: Dazzle Your Cocktail {DIY}

Let me first start by saying this is necessary on SO many levels! 
I totally believe the prettier a cocktail appears the better it taste! ;)

However, I highly doubt I will be able to refrain from taking a sip or two
before my creation is complete! 

Imagine these adorable umbrellas with a little sparkle added to them...perfection? 

I'd say so!

Stop by one of my fave blogs Oh Happy Day for more pics and the how to's!

“Begin doing what you want to do now.

We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand-and melting like a snowflake…”

Here's an easy way to switch up your usual morning routine with a slight variation that is simple and sure to be delish.

Turquoise and Coral as you know are my two favorite colors; 

especially when you pull them together in your daily threads or home decor.

My home office that is STILL in the works has touches of the two hues but, after surfing the web and of course the ever popular Pinterest I'm starting to think more rooms in my home will be seeing these two pops of color really soon!

A smile is a woman’s best accessory,

sequins are appropriate no matter what the occasion and

some days simply require a glass of champagne.

Quote Of The Week

First off, my apologies for going all MIA on ya last week. 

My sweet daddy who turned 70 on  July 4th (the most appropriate birthday for a firecracker like himself) decided for his special day he wanted him and I to take a father-daughter weekend trip to Florida!  So, we did just that and it was a BLAST!  Lots of memories to cherish for a lifetime!

I promise to try to post pics soon but for now here is one of my faves!

I adore and love this man more than anything!  He is truly my hero!

Now on to this weeks quote...I leave for my annual "ShowStopper" (as it has rightfully been titled for several years now) girls beach trip.  I look forward to this trip every year!  My closest girlfriends and I spend a long weekend giggling and doing the most absurd and hilarious things we can think of! 

There is no better quote to fit this week than one that we all love...

Make it a great week...
