Obsessions

BEACH DECOR
Since we live at the beach I tend not to like my house to be too beachy. But lately I have been drawn to some small natural beachy accents. I am really smitten with the mirror and fish chandelier.





CUPCAKE PROCESSCO
If you love the Cupcake Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay you have to try their Processco. My good friend Erin just told me about it and I immediately went to the store and bought some. It was $11.99 a bottle and delightful. The perfect amount of bubbles and not too sweet.



NATURE'S VALLEY GRAHAM SQUARES
After Jill blogged about these I knew I had to try them. They are so tasty and at only 90 calories the perfect snack. Best part is my little man loves them too. I can't decide which flavor I like better, the dark chocolate and peanut butter are equally fabulous!



SNAKESKIN LAMP
How insane is this lamp? I absolutely love it and want it for my den! I also think it could be super fierce in a nursery.

DVF WOOL MINI DRESS
I know I already listed my top 5 fall fashions but I think I need to add this dress to my list. It seems simple, but to me that is the perfection of it. You could dress it up with a great necklace and heels or wear flats for a daytime look. I love the rich purple color. Jewel tones are my favorite color palette for this fall.

I adore that fish chandelier, and totally agree about the beach theme. There is a fine line between classy and tacky when are you talking about the beach :)

Jill said...

Yeah!! I am glad you like the granola thins, they are so yummy!!

That chandelier is TDF, I love it!!

I just bought cupcake wine for my party Sat. night I saw the processco but skipped it because I didn't know of anyone who has tried it, I think I am going to go back and pick up a few bottles.

We live at the beach too and I love simple, small little accents that mention the beach versus screaming to visitors that the beach is right around the corner. Haha. That light fixture is awesome...Love, love love.

As far as the granola thins---YUM. : )

I don't know if there are H&M's where you live but there is a knock-off of that DVF dress in stores right now. It looks almost identical!!

Love Cupcake Proseco too!

I love Granola Thins! They don't sell them in Canada so every time we go to the States I "indulge" in them (and bring home a couple of boxes ;))

Will definitely try the prosecco! Love that lamp and the DVF dress. Granola thins are so good and my daughter loves them too! :)

Thanks for the snack review... I didn't throw them in my cart last week thinking they were liable to taste like cardboard. 90 calories and your stamp of approval, sign me up!! And I'm with you; I always love a beachy accent
