Meet Camilia. Is this not the most beautiful baby girl you have ever seen!?!? and the name, is just fabulous! The website doesn't have much information, but she is available at the Cocker Rescue of Fort Lauderdale. I have always adored Cocker Spaniels, and I hope Camilia finds a sweet home.

Girly Girl

I tend to drift between girly girl and bohemian, with a little splash of (as my brother in law says) "grandma". Well the perfect store for accessories and gifts is Henri Bendel, now if only I had the budget for it! This store just makes you feel special! I first came across this store in the book Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella.


Love the striped packaging!


One of these little cuties ended up under my christmas tree! Thanks mama!


AMAZING candles. Peony and Tuberose are my faves.


Bangles = Current obsession.


The perfect example of grandma chic.

I really need to get it together. But in tribute to my woof wednesday women- I wanted to post a little something. Even Forever21 is feeling the love for adopting pups!!!



Be prepared to fall in love with Dorothy and Lily. They are inseparable sister Weimaraners up for adoption in west palm beach at a very cool place, Big Dog Ranch.

WoOf FrIdAy????

Huge apologies to my Woof Wednesday Women. THey are all so disciplined in posting! I'm back to help the pups! I ask my husband on a daily basis for a 'friend for spencer' aka another dog for heather to cuddle with, baby talk to, and photograph. I want a medium sized fluff ball so i can carry it around- Alex on the other hand wants another perfect golden that he can name Tebow. What can I say, opposites attract. We have though agreed that we love Rhodesian Ridgebacks, I havn't done a lot of research on their disposition, but I adore their cuteness! Here is a sweet love named Sugar Pie- she is a new mommy, and though I'm not sure where her puppies have gone to- She is just gorgeous, and seems to be a gentle, nervous girl like my sweet spence. Everyone needs some sugar, right AJ?

been a while.....

Well I have basically fallen off the blogging map for quite some time. Unfortunately my dad has been sick for about 12 weeks, and recently diagnosed with Wegeners Disease. Though this disease has been quite traumatic, we are so thrilled for a diagnosis- at last! He has been in the hospital for 2 weeks now, and we are seeing tiny bits of improvement daily. We are PRAYING, WISHING, HOPING he can be home by Thanksgiving. We have been blessed with an many many prayers, emails, phone calls, and a few special visitors. Thank you to everyone that has reached out to my dad and my family in the past few weeks. Today, a designer that works with my Dad sent these flowers after hearing he was sick. I thought they were so beautiful, such a kind gesture from someone who barely knows my sweet Dad....he always has had quite the effect on people :)

So just about everyone I know 'owns a baby'....I don't mean own, I mean lovingly brought precious bundles of joy into this world. But for me, I own a dog, and it will stay that way for quite a while. Though I must say, my young mommy friends (sister in laws especially) are some of the best mommy's ever! For me though, I tend to day dream about 'rooms of the future', and I recently have come across some very sweet things for a nursery.... This bedding is the 'brooke' from Pottery Barn- just love those cute birds and trees!




And with my 'bird bedding' I will have beautiful grey walls- and the TREES! the TREES! I would sleep in here if I could! This is the stunning nursery of Tiffani Amber Thiessen's daughter, Harper- so maybe I'm bias, Kelly Kapowski was my hero for a good 10 years, I was possibly a member of her fan club.....



Clearly I'm a big fan of grey lately..... (ignore the clutter) this is our new living room, in the works! The paint is Stormy Monday by Benjamin Moore. My fabulous boss' at 24e. had their living room painted in this and it was 'to die!!'

Project: DOOR

I have just recently started working for LILA PHOTO in Palm Beach. It is a fabulous photography company, and I am really enjoying my work there. One of my 'side projects' was to help my boss design her new office- so first off, paint colors, carpet samples, and our fancy new door frame! She is a big fan of the Eau Spa at the Ritz Carlton, Palm Beach. They have these custom door frames, that are somewhat comparable to Alice in Wonderland. So I got some HUGE paper, pencils, erasers, and went for it- turned out pretty great! We traced our paper model onto plywood, and then had the contractor cut out the design with a simple jig saw. I love our final product, and I can't wait to do this in my own home one day!

The door frame is approximately an inch thick, and the light plays off the white paint beautifully! More photos to come....
