february fourteenth.

hope your day is filled with sweet surprises and lots of love. xx

also...happy birthday to my beautiful sister in law, holli hart. (yep, hart, like heart, get it?)

because it's mine.

is anyone else obsessed with this photo? i am. no shame. 

i just feel like this is me and my best friend in 40 (gulp) years. 

and i kind of love us.

the hit list:

a few goodies i am really loving this july!

(clockwise from top left)

YSL arty ring...obsessed with turquoise, obsessed with this ring.

NARS lipsticks in niagara and heat wave 

i am in love with goldie hawn, this book is one of my favorites.

tory burch fish necklace. because...why not, you know?

vanilla coconut milk. dee. lish.

nike free's...i will run to you.

georgia peaches

laura mercier tinted moisturizer with spf 20. love.

'you are my greatest adventure' print

the baby that won't come out. the mom that keeps on eating. the sanity that went missing. the husband that is a saint.

i think its important to note that i am one of the least patient people on the planet. so when that little due date came and went last saturday...the insanity went into full gear. that being said, i know that she will arrive when she's good and ready and there is little i can do about it so despite the long walks, yard work, spicy food, etc. i have resigned to settling in for a good movie marathon and try to keep the crazy to a minimum.

so while i have some time on my hands, i thought i would share my pregnancy life-savers. the items that have been in heavy rotation in my life for the past nine months and that i couldn't have done without.

1. savannah bee company royal jelly body butter by some grace of god i have completely escaped stretch marks on my stomach. being prone to stretch marks (see: thighs) i can only believe that this body butter, which i have slathered on every night for nine months is my savior. the best part is that one jar lasts forever...i went through only three my entire pregnancy. i really can't say enough about this stuff, its just the best.

2. peach flavored sparkling water my pregnant friend emily introduced me to this stuff a few months ago and since then i have been completely addicted. being limited to water (and coffee, don't tell) really gets boring and this has been my lifesaver in the beverage department. i dream of the day i can add vodka.

3. aveda foot relief holy. amazingness. let me preface this by saying i have an awesome husband who have given me foot rubs pretty often and rarely complained. (i said rarely, not never). he gave me this lotion for christmas and it smells like peppermint and feels like complete heaven. i think half the reason he is so willing to rub my feet is that he likes how it smells.

4. splendid black leggings my uniform for the past months has largely consisted of these leggings and various tanks/tees. i have worn these so much that mine have holes in them now. but seriously, these are the most comfortable leggings you will ever own. and if you love yourself, you will get these and never look back.

5. j.crew cabin socks again with the comfort factor. listen...its all i have. just buy 500 pairs of cabin socks like i did and call it a day. see above pic for reference.

okay...back to bad tv and constant obsessing. xx.

some things i am really loving lately...

(clockwise) everything mint green (including but not limited to): essie mint candy apple nail polish,

  dolce vita "sue"pumps, asos pyramid clutch.

strawberry anything....haagen dazs strawberry ice cream has been my most loved craving.

spring dresses! my favorite so far is this tulle pleated dress from piperlime.

my new show obsession...game of thrones. 

my new book obsession...fifty shades of grey. sidenote: i hesitated about this one because of all the hype, but if you can rise above all the craziness in it, you will love it.

the cutest dresses for the blueberry! peek kids dresses found here.

avocado grilled cheese sandwiches...literally just sourdough bread, white cheddar, avocado and tomatoes. so yummy! (adapted from here) xx

hello lovers.

{image via design sponge}

and going straight to the gym. to you know...just get it out of the way.

then i turned on the tv to check the weather (i swear)

and saw that dirty dancing was coming on.

an hour later...

and now i am still in bed, soliciting friends to go to

mountain lake resort in virginia with me...

where the movie was filmed...

for their dirty dancing weekend.

(btw, i am sure they don't mind phone calls at 9 am on a sunday)

i just love this movie that much. no shame.

darling, what would make you happy today?
