Fashion Fix Friday {Boho Chic}

Happy Fashion Fix Friday!

Who’s ready for a color explosion?

Me! Me! Me!

I am a HUGE fan of bohemian décor, linens, clothing, accessories, flower halos, 

and the list goes on!  One of my favorite items that you will see be sporting around in the 

hot summer months is my beloved embroidered cross-body bag from 

Urban Outfitters that I picked up a couple of years ago!

I seriously will never get rid of this gem.  It’s so playful and holds everything!

This is a totally classic pic of my bestie Rebecca and I before leaving on

our annul girls beach trip…bag in tow!

I have been keeping my eye out for more embroidered clutches and cross body

bags and so far this is what I’ve found!

Contemplating {Stripes}

Lately I have been pondering the idea (yet again) of adding wallpaper to our home.

There are so many cool patterns and variations of the once horrid and painful wall coverings that my wheels are turning.  But before I rush out to pick up a few rolls of the nightmare turned stylish goodness I think I want to first try something I’ve been wanting to do since my previous home.

Painted striped walls!

I previously wanted to paint my laundry room in horizontal yellow and white stripes.

Now I am thinking I need to feature an accent wall in my home office with simple black and white stripes. Thoughts?! Don’t you think this would be super fun and by only tackling a smaller accent wall this should be totally doable and completely stress free!   Right?!

I bet Sweet Mama is reading this post going,

“Oh my…if these lines aren’t completely straight and perfect everyone 

prepare for a breakdown!” HA!

No worries, people.  I’ll be as cool as the flip side of my pillow!   

That is, until perfection has been achieved! ;)

But, seriously, How FUN?!

I think in my office space I would go with vertical stripes but, still debating!

The other accent colors planned are soft shades of pink because what southern girl

doesn't love a little blush and bashful.  You can see my office inspiration in this post here.

Love it or Hate it?! 

For the Love of Cooking {Eat This + Drink That}

One thing I love on a hot summer day, an ice cold Gin + Tonic!

There is just something so refreshing and crisp about a G + T that I just love.

The second thing I love in the warmer months, Avocado!

Combine the two together for an Eat This + Drink That and 

you have complete perfection!

Here are two simple recipes that will have you 

giggling in satisfaction.

  

Roasted Avocado Over Mixed Lettuce and Couscous 

G + T with a twist of Cucumber and Rosemary!

 Bottoms Up!

Show and Tell {Gretel}

Today we are having a little show and tell on Delightfully Chic.  

I recently discovered Gretel, a super chic, full of color,  fun ultra-modern boutique out of Miami.  

Abby Kellett, a British Interior Stylist founded Gretel just a few years back in 2009 and really 

hons in on handmade pieces that are as unique as they are stylish.

Here are a few pieces from the current collection 

I am totally crushing on!

 Head on over to see the complete collection here!

Quote of the Week {Weekend Wrap Up}

This past weekend was amazing!

We took a few days away from the chaos of everyday life

to escape to the beach with family.

We decided to head home yesterday, a day early

to make sure we had our country's beautiful stars and stripes

hanging high for all to see today on  Memorial Day.

We also, decided our lobster-like skin could use a day of rest from the sun!

So far, today has been a day of leisure and I'm loving every minute!

Here is a glimpse into our holiday weekend.  I tried to pry my hands from

all technology while away so I didn't snap too many moments but, they

are definitely tucked away safely in my memory! 

There was beach time and one handsome "cab" driver

that scooped us up at the end of the day! 

And we fished off the deck at the in laws beach home.

Daddy Gaither had some success!

Scott caught a turtle and I caught a tree!

There were walks on the waterway and a photo op

at the family beach home pier that Scott used to go to when 

he was a little boy! 

From our family to yours, we hope you had a beautiful and safe 

Memorial Weekend!
