Fro-Yo Obsession

The weather is getting so nice out, and it finally feels like summer. This can only mean one thing for me: ice cream. So many new fro-yo places are popping up near me, and I can't help but crave it on a hot day.
My favorite places are Orange Leaf and Menchie's.
As for flavors, I love all of the fruity flavors like pina colada and raspberry. I like to top it off with fresh fruit. That makes it semi-healthy, right?

Mmmm, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!

Have you ever had fro-yo? What's your favorite place to get it?

Moroccan Theme

Whenever I go shopping lately, I always notice a variety of moroccan inspired clothes and design elements wherever I go. Let me just say that I am completely on board with this trend! In interior design, the moroccan element can mesh so well with just about every theme/trend. I'm in the process of redoing my bedroom, so I'm trying to add in some moroccan themed items to mix with my classic pieces.
I recently picked up this Moroccan lantern at my local Tuesday Morning for under $30.

(This isn't the exact lantern, but it's very similar.)

I might just leave this as an accent or decoration, or I was thinking about electrifying it and making it a hanging light.

I'm also eying this beautiful rug from Pier 1. 

I'm also seriously considering buying this gold pouf. How darling would it be for a low vanity?

As for clothes and accessories, I am loving this Tory Burch caftan. I find that Tory Burch always has the cutest moroccan inspired tunics and clothing!

These crocheted Toms are so intricate that they also have a moroccan vibe.

Gatsby

 I am just so so so anxious for the movie "The Great Gatsby"! I really enjoyed reading the book, and I think F. Scott Fitzgerald is an amazing writer and author to say the least. The movie comes out on May 10th, which is just five short days! 

One of the aspects of the movie that I'm most excited for is the actors. It's definitely no secret that Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the best looking male actors out there, and I think he has the perfect personality for playing Jay Gatsby. Gatsby's love interest in the story is Daisy Buchanan, played by Carey Mulligan. I think that Carey has such a whimsical feel to her, and I can't wait to see how she plays Daisy's role. With DiCaprio by her side, she's definitely one lucky girl.

The soundtrack is of course amazing as well. The whole thing isn't available on YouTube yet, but here is a sample. My favorite song by far is "Love is Blindness" by Jack White. It's just so intense and passionate, just like the actual story!

I know a lot of people are hosting Gatsby parties and such, and even though I won't be going to any or hosting one, here is what I would wear:

My favorite color is pink, so naturally I am in love with this pink fringe. This dress is pretty out-there, but could still be worn for modern day cocktail parties if you're daring enough.

The detailing in this dress is just exquisite. It has such glamour and elegance, I think I would die if I got the chance to wear this!

Are you excited for the movie? What did you think of the book?

My Favorite TV Shows

Even though my days are super busy and I feel like I never have enough time to do everything, I somehow always find time for TV. Hmm, isn't it funny how that happens? I watch a wide variety of shows, but these are some of my long-time favorites.

Modern Family

There's a good reason that this show has won so many awards. It's embarrassing how much I laugh while watching it sometimes. Although ever since Sarah Hyland's character "Haley" went to college, the show just hasn't been quite the same. She offered a lot of humor.

 The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills                                                                  

This is definitely what you'd call trash TV, but it's my guilty pleasure. It's just so over the top ridiculous that it's hilarious. I am also a very nosy person, and I'll admit it. I really love taking a peek into these ladies luxurious closets, homes, and basically, lives. Kyle Richards is my favorite 90210 wife. She is refreshingly real (if you can call a Beverly Hills housewife real haha) and her daughter Portia is adorable.

Parks and Recreation

I loved Amy Poehler on Saturday Night Live, and I love her just as much in Parks and Recreation. It followed The Office, so I thought at first that it would be a copy of that, but I was definitely wrong. Parks and Rec has a completely different sense of humor than any other office-like show around. Plus, Aziz Ansari makes me crack up in just about every episode.

Barefoot Contessa

I warned you that I liked a WIDE variety of shows. I rarely watch food network, and Barefoot Contessa is the only show I will actually watch on there. Something about Ina Garten's voice is just so soothing and motherly. Overall, her recipes are completely mouth-watering.

Fashion Police

If you like hearing about what celebs are wearing, but not all their drama, then Fashion Police is definitely for you. I love how Joan Rivers is totally on trend and keeps up with celebrity fashion even at almost 80 years old. She is also very witty, kind of crude at times, yes, but overall crazy funny.














What are your favorite TV shows?

Palm Print Obsession

As Summer nears, I keep noticing palm tree prints popping up all over ads and in stores. Let me say that I am completely on board with this. Although I don't live in Florida, I love vacationing there, and my one of my favorite things is hands-down the palm trees. They are just so tropical, and put me in a serene mood. The print seems retro and cool. Here are some palm print pieces that I am loving for Summer:

1. Juicy Couture Palm Leaf Hardskin iphone Case

I love how it's not your typical green palm print, and the pink adds a needed pop of color. You definitely wouldn't be losing your phone in the bottom of your tote anymore!

2. Joie Shaleah Sweater 

This sweater is perfect for those chilly Summer nights when you just need something quick and easy to throw on. It would look equally cute with denim cutoffs as it would with a simple skirt. With a price tag of $270, I definitely won't be getting it anytime soon, but a girl can dream right?

3. Juicy Couture Palm Tree Raffia Tote

This tote is extremely retro. It reminds me of something that my grandmother would carry in the 50s, but I think that's why it appeals to me so much. How awesome would this look with a crisp white sundress? 

1. Etsy Palm Leaf Pillow

How festive! If I had a sunroom, this would definitely be going in it.

Thanks for reading, 

Stay Peachy!

My Dream Bag

I just love love love Céline bags. To say that I am obsessed would be an understatement. Seriously, would it be too much to ask for one of these to just magically appear in my closet one day? I think not. The winged style of the luggage tote is simply divine. If I had an extra $2,000 to spend, I would totally get one. But since I don't, I can only fantasize. Here are my top Céline picks: 

                                                Luggage Pebbled Leather Tote                                                 

Camel Mini Luggage Tote

Blair Eadie, from Atlantic-Pacific, has not just one, but two Celine bags. I am extremely jealous. 

Um, how adorable is her mini red tote? 

Do you own a Celine bag? Which bag would you like to own?
