Boho Obsessed.

If I had to describe my style in one word or what style I gravitate most towards it would be Bohemian.  I swear I am part Hippie.  I love flowers, fringe, and anything embroidered.  
Here are a few things I am lusting after with a Boho Vibe.

I just ordered this blouse and hope it is as cute in person!  Such a steal and love the blue/white combo.


These sandals are so gorgeous.  The color is such a great neutral and the fringe is so fun.



This top is so cute, love the fringe and it is under $80!

Been eyeing this dress for weeks now.  Love everything about it.

 Also love the shirt version.


Love the two tone colors.  They would go with anything!

I always love Loeffler Randall purses.  This one is no exception.  The black could be carried year round and love the tassel detail.
Perfect floral for spring and summer.

The perfect Boho bag for a weekend away.


Adorable Beach Cover-up
This pretty necklace is only $35! 
Love this one just as much for a longer version.  Only $22!

These shorts are on sale for only $11!  Cute over a bathing suit or with a white tee or even a Chambray shirt.

I am smitten with this red/white boho print.

This would be cute with skinny jeans, jean shorts or even as a bathing suit cover-up. Currently 40% off.



and for the little girls, because I love the boho look just as much on Frances.

Life Lately

Did ya'll miss me yesterday??  We had some internet issues which is always annoying.  Happy to report we now have a new router and modem so hopefully no more problems.  
The past week has been super busy round here.  We traveled to Charlotte, and now my parents are in town this week helping out while we get ready for Sterling's 5th Birthday Party this weekend.   How do I have a son who is about to turn 5 and start Kindergarten?? I am in denial.

Had so much fun in Charlotte.  Came across this quote from Micheal J Fox and felt it was so fitting
 " Family is not the most important thing, its everything."
Dad was out of town on a work trip and Sterling wouldn't get in the picture go figure.  


I thought this picture of the cousins in their matching bear shirts was adorable.

Bought this top while I was home and it is slowly becoming a favorite.  
On sale in the navy version for 40% .

I started reading Jane Green's new novel.  I always love her books and after Still Alice I wanted something a little lighter.  It has already sucked me in.  I love her books because I immediately always relate to the characters.  If you have not read her novel Tempting Fate I highly recommend it.

Picked up some sconces to to hang on each side of our TV in the den.  Pretty excited about them.  I will show pics after we hang them this weekend.


So proud of this Orchid Arrangement I potted myself for our dining room table.
All for under $35 ! 


Our TJMaxx is amazing.  This week they had the Valentino RockStud Shoes in.   I of course had to try them on.


Always love when my parents are in town because I can take advantage of the killer view off their back porch. It almost looks fake it is so gorgeous out there.


New cookbook for my collection.  Could not resist the hot pink cover and its my favorite food genre:)


 I can't stop thinking about this white boho lace shift dress.  It is only $72!  It is from a new line called English Factory that is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. 


Not only is it Valentines this week but is is also Heart Awareness week.  We wore red to support all those with heart problems.   


These Alexis Bittar Bracelets are a steal, they were $245 now $97 for a set of three.  His bracelets are my favorite!  They also come in a black set.

A few of my other favorites







Happy Weekend.

Heart Shaped Raspberry Cream Cheese Tarts aka Homemade Pop-Tarts


I tore this recipe out of an old People magazine over a year ago and I am just now making it.  These little tarts are not only cute but oh so delicious.   They are basically like homemade pop-tarts.  I have seen other recipes where the filling is just jelly but this is filled with fresh raspberries, cream cheese, and honey.  The combo is fresh and not overly sweet.  Since they use pre-made pie dough, the hardest thing is cutting out the shapes.  You could do any shape you wanted but I did hearts for Valentines Day.  Beware not to put too much filling in them they over flow easily.
I honestly did a bit too much and it seeped out while baking.   We ate the spilled out filling with a spoon and it made Sterling's day.


They are actually delish without icing but with icing takes them to whole another level.  So I recommend slapping some icing on them:)
Enjoy!




|| R A S P B E R R Y   C R E A M  C H E E S E  T A R T S ||

- 1 package refrigerated pie dough
- 1 8oz cream cheese
- 1 pint raspberries 
- 2 tablespoons honey

I C I N G
- 10 raspberries
- 1 teaspoon milk
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar

 Roll out both pie shells on a flat surface.  Use heart cookie cutters to cut hearts- should be able to get about 20 hearts, which means 10 pop tarts.
In a bowl whip the cream cheese with beaters until fluffy.  Mash the pint of raspberries with a fork and then add into the cream cheese.  Add in honey and mix together.

Place half the hearts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  scoop a small spoonful of the raspberry mixture in the middle.  Place the remaining hearts on top and mash together around the edges with a fork.  Then take a toothpick and poke several holes in the middle.  Bake at 400 degrees about 20 minutes until they start to slightly brown.

Meanwhile using a strainer over a bowl mash about 10 raspberries collecting the juice.  Add in powdered sugar and enough milk to loosen but not make it too liquidey. 

Let pies cool before icing.

If you don't have heart cookie cutters, I rounded up a few options along with some other adorable Valentine's Day serving ware.

Obsessions


How awesome and adorable is this Valentines Day gift box?  Send the link to your significant other as a hint or this is great gift for a mom or sister or treat yourself!  You can choose between three different agate druzy stone necklace colors: ballet pink, midnight, or sea foam. 
I chose pink:)
It is packaged so cute with candy and the necklace. Today is the last day to order before Valentines Day !



I actually spied this in Neiman Marcus over the weekend and fell in love with it.  The colors and pattern are gorgeous.


Loving the thin strap and tan color of the band.  It would go with everything. Also comes in all white which I really dig for Summer.

The mint color of this blouse is pure perfection!! 
I just got these earrings and could not be more excited to wear them!  They also come in a beautiful green color.  I imagine these on heavy rotation this Summer!


Love the boho feel of this blouse and the gorgeous embroidery.

I have heard rave reviews about this Black Tea Mask and Cream.    It is supposed to be great for anti-aging and skin tightening.  It retails for $165 but Nordstom is running a sale and you get all three products for $110 plus an additional sample.  I ordered the set to try and will report back!

These calf hair pumps are gorgeous and such a great price!
This is such a classic yet fun one piece.  Love the ruffle detail.  This is suit you would own for years!

This pj set looks comfy and is cute to wear around in front of others. A great set for a new mom.



I own this in the pink version and wear it often.  Such a great everyday dress!  The green is such a fun bright color for Spring.


I so want this adorable tassel top for Frances Moon!

Lastly today at 11am today Furbish is doing a pop up show with artist Helen  Dealtry.
There are 25 orginal water colors.  I just adore these.  They would be so sweet in a nursery or little girls room or even a bath room too.
