Wish List // Beach Cover-Ups

{ 1 } { 2 } { 3 } { 4 } { 5 } { 6 } We're headed to the beach next week (eek!), and I've got anything and everything beach related...

{1} {2} {3} {4} {5} {6}
Happy Friday! I'm so glad this week is almost over. I say that every Friday, and I really do mean it every week. Lately it's been the case that each week gets filled up with appointments, gym classes (for Cora, not me), and lots of errands and chores in between. If I'm lucky (like I was last week and this week), I get to have lady dates and Happy Hours with friends to add excitement to my somewhat isolating job as a stay-at-home mom. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely looove being at home with my baby girl and cannot believe how blessed I am that I can be at home with her. But, it can get a little isolating in some ways. Talking to a one year old doesn't exactly help with your social skills, ya know? I'm sure you moms out there know what I'm talking about. Thank goodness Steve works from home or else I think I would be completely socially inept. I'm not kidding. There are times when I'll take Cora to Target or the grocery store and someone will start talking to her (and me) and when they ask questions, I swear I become totally awkward and say the most random things! But I'm getting way off track here. Let's get back to these lovely images, shall we?

It's easy for me to check out Pinterest while Cora's playing in her playpen and distracted from me, especially with the iPhone (what would I do without my iPhone??). And these are some of my absolute faves from this week's pinning activities.

#1: Totally is my dream dining room. The pale pink walls and a door leading out to a (most likely) stunning garden/patio of some sort. The lucite table, and those chairs! Yep, I'm in love.
#2: I'm usually not a fan of a simple gown like this one, but the embellishments at the top and the overall look of the model make me dream of wearing such a subtly glam gown, oh you know for the next major awards show I'll attend. Right??
#3: The perfect piece of art. Period.
#4: Such a traditional space with the hottest, most glam chairs you ever did see. And the carpet! The David Hicks Hexagon pattern is one of my fave patterns right now and as a carpet, it's stunning.
#5: I feel that even if you are a mom, you must never stop being chic -- or at least trying to be chic. Because when you stop trying, no one wins. Am I right? This mom right here is exactly what I hope to be. I want Cora to remember me putting lipstick on, taking the time to look polished, and heck, even wear a gown once in awhile.
#6: You had me at 'white peach'. I have yet to attempt making this seemingly perfect drink for Summer, but you can bet I will real soon.

Have a great weekend!!

xoxo

I realize that I'm a few days late with a weekend update, but what I discovered is too good to keep to myself. Over the weekend, I finally got a chance to see all of the goodies (i.e. Jonathan Adler, Conran, & Martha Stewart) at JCPenney. It took our mall awhile to get s*** done. I swear, I kept going in there the entire month of May and part of June disappointed because they hadn't finished up the Home section yet. But fiiinally they got it all done and even though it was a pain to wait (I kept seeing everyone else's Instagrams with photos of all of the amazing pieces from JCP like a month ago!), it was definitely worth it. I won't lie, I've never really shopped at JCP before. Not because I poo-poo their products, it's just that there are others ahead of them in my line-up of shopping go-to's and they just get forgotten. But not anymore! JCP is at the top of my list now. The hubby and I were equally impressed and in awe while we were looking around.

Again, I know that I'm late with this "update" on the new furniture lines at JCP, especially Jonathan Adler's Happy Chic line (it's as good as everyone says it is), since it's been talked about on the blogosphere for some time now. So, I won't bombard you with the same photos already floating around. But what I will share with you is the amazing, and I really mean aaamazing, Martha Stewart Celebration line at JCP. You've all seen some of it at Michael's or even TJMaxx/Marshalls/HomeGoods, but it's like that times a hundred! I mean, if you ever had a party decor need for anything, this is the place to go! I really felt like a kid in a candy store when I was looking through all of the celebration products. I don't have any more parties to plan (yet?), but just walking through the fun & chic party goods made me want to throw one!

Of course, DIY'ing party decor items is fun (and money saving), but sometimes you just don't have the time or energy (right??) and that is why I am so excited to blab about this. Cause really, time is precious and anything saving us time is a-okay with me. Especially, when they look this fabulous. Right?
