Spring is here!

Well, I guess in California its almost spring year round! Tomorrow the temps are hitting 80+...The beautiful thing about living on the water is no humidity. My walk after work was pure heaven, sunshine, the smell and sounds of the ocean and tons of people out and about enjoying it all!

Speaking of work, I've been listening constantly to the " Somethings Gotta Give" soundtrack and I've changed my google browsers, etc to French. It has made my afternoon of online shopping interesting. I've gotta start buckling down and really learning the language I work in everyday. Countless times, I have answered the phone and a lovely person is on the other line speaking only french. It makes for interesting challenges at the office. On the plus side, language barrier aside, I'm loving the marketing campaigns we've got going right now, thank you very much. 

What I feel like at the end of most days!

On to fancier things...

I am frantically obsessing over what table scape I'm going to put together for Easter. I'm just so dang excited! Here is some possible inspiration...

I think I'm going to go for a shabby chic, mismatched, vintage, pastel scheme.  hahah got all that? 

My husband without a doubt will read this and come home from the office rolling his eyes and shaking his cute little head. Boys just don't get the need for some good table decorations.

I am loving a whole bunch of random this Wednesday so hang with me.

I take it as a good sign that I'm allll fulll of love...head on over to sweet Jamies blog and link up. All the cool kids are doing it ;)

This week I am LOVING ( in no particular order)...

The new TLC show " What the Sell?"... I'm a sucker for antiques shows. Yes, I realize thats a snore.

The pre-spiced Taco Turkey meat from Jennie-O. She's my girl when it comes to turkey and this plus a little cheese and some shells takes care of my hankerin's for Mexicano.

This week has been rough at work so afterwards sista needs something a little stronger than vino. In comes the pre-made Mojitos. Pull those suckers out of the freezer and pour my heart away. What a refreshing way to forget about my desk and the 3456 blue post it notes everywhere.

I got the shift I wanted for my JL volunteering at the OC Marathon,  5-9 AM! Sounds crazy but my best gal pals and I decided to get some coffee before and suck it up. Plus, my parents will be in town that weekend and I want to pack in the hang out time.  

I'm hosting Easter at our house this year for all our favorite West Coast cousins and their significant others. I'm so glad they are making the drive from LA and Venice Beach. I'm super excited to get brunch together and have some family time with some of my favorite people. 

We are talking about adding to our family :) A little four legged friend might be in the works sooner rather than later. 

I get to spend some time getting fit with my gals at a health expo this weekend put on by the JL. Of course we are meeting for brunch before. Cute work out clothes, pool side apps, massages, personal work out classes and free gym memberships? Yes please!

A little home town pride!! Way to go VCU RAMS!!! I'm hoping they go all the way! Apparently Richmond is nuts right now!

My sweet husband, who not only surprised me with a new battery for my MacBook this weekend ( I had to be plugged in all the time) but came home on Friday with tickets to Disney Land. Just what I needed to get me out of my little funk that I'd been in. 

15 hours in the park, riding all the rides and feeling like a kid again was such a blast.  We both were too sore to function the next day. Apparently I'm getting too old to ride coasters all day and eat churros. But, my funk is lifted, we had the BEST day and my computer is super happy. Amen.

Happy Wednesday to all my gorgeous gals out there!

Top 2 Tuesday!

Hi gals! I hope you lovelies are having a great start to your weeks! We are gearing up for a couple busy weeks and weekends around our house,  but all in good fun! Today's T2T is super fabulous! Head on over to Taylor's blog and link up.

Top 2 Fav Celebrity Hairstyles

{1}

Reese Witherspoon. Specifically Reese in "Legally Blonde". That movie, at some point, defined my life. I love love LOVE that movie. It never gets old.. My one claim to fame is that I had her hair colorist do my blonde once. It. Was. Awesome. It was one of those surreal NYC moments and best part was...it was compliments of my boss, who called and got me right in. 

Her hair is so bouncy, shiny and fabulous. So is she for that matter. 

other adorable Reese styles....

{2}

If I was going to cut my hair short, I would absolutely rock the "Cameron Diaz" from the Holiday. One of my poor besties Kate... I interrupt her at least once a week on gchat to discuss whether or not I should cut my hair and if in fact, I should go for the "Cameron". She always says I should, but I won't, and she's right. Maybe when I'm chasing around some bambinos and don't have time to spray 37 volumizing products in my hair to get 1/2 an inch of lift. That's another sad, sad story.

I would also LOVE this outfit. Thanks. 

Soooo there ya have it :) What hairstyles are you loving??

Top 2 Tuesday!

Hope everyone had a great weekend/start to the week! 

Mine was SUPER lazy and SUPER relaxing. On Friday, J got caught up at the office so David and Chuck headed to Vegas without him to avoid traffic. As soon as he could get off work, I took him to the airport and he hopped a plane to meet them in Vegas. They got home last night, all survived, and as far as I can tell, we aren't broke. Amen.

Even though I missed him dearly, I had such a great weekend solo. The weather was crappy so I took advantage of the SATC marathon on Saturday among other things.  I ordered my fav pizza from Ginas,  ordered 2 girly movies on demand, and poured a few glasses of wine. It. was. heaven. I had a total Kevin from Home Alone moment, " Mmmmmm, A whole cheese pizza, juuuuuust for me". I debated heading to various JL things but really just wanted alone time. It was EXACTLY what this chick needed.

yep, thats what I looked like alllll weekend. 

Now onto my favorite Top 2 Tuesday Topic.......

Top 2 fav rooms...oh lawwwwwwd I love this topic. I have seriously become obsessed with home decor. It changes from day to day but I'm going to show you one of  my  fav houses! I can not for the life of me remember where I found it. I would obviously "merchandise it up" with some personal things since it needs a little warmth, a splash of color ( maybe just a drop) and a few extra pieces of furniture but over all it is TO. DIE. FOR. In no particular order.....

In desperate need of some bottles

dark wood, light walls. my dream team. 

so many gorgeous windows and french doors

 needs some more furniture but I LOVE the wall paneling, and did you see those arches? 

hidden tv and wet bars, open to the kitchen

2 islands  AND a farm table with ghost chairs...swoon

annnnnnd again because its that gorg.

Mediterranean houses are some of my favs...

Who wouldn't want 30 foot ceilings in there master bath?

This room needs some tweaking but the headboard makes me skip a little. just a little.

You have to have somewhere to sit and drink all that vino that you have in the cellar right?

coughperfectcough

So open and light!

Ok sooooo theres my top 2. ( or 18)

welllll...maybe a few more because I'm truly obsessed.

Somethings Gotta give. I mean really that house needs a post of its own.

Just in case. Impractical you say? I'll buy stock in bleach, just you wait

just so my pink loving girl friends would come visit!

Ok for real, thats it!  I saw this quote on Nastasha's blog and it juuuust might be one of my all time favorites.

Happy Tuesday everyone!!
