And for those in the path of Hurricane Irene, our thoughts and prayers are with you!  

Friday Favorite

Ever put down your glass at a party and not remember where you put it?  Or ask yourself..."was this my glass or hers?"  Well fret no more.....you can find nifty glass markers from CB2 and solve all your glassware confusion!

These cute little characters are perfect for a casual summer BBQ!  They'll even make great converation starters...{did you get the red monster or the orange alien??}  I kid.  They're actual mini athletes - set of 12 for $6.95.

Style Crush: Blake Lively

Miss Lively is now a definite household name.  Not only for her high-profile roles on the big screen (in The Town and Green Lantern), but also as Leo DiCaprio’s current arm candy (very lucky girl indeed!).

Aside from her obvious good taste in men, what I love about Blake is her style - both her personal and her alter ego, Serena Van Der Woodsen on Gossip Girl.  Her look is fresh, daring and always changing.  To think, this Hollywood darling dresses herself (seriously, no stylist!).  It also helps that she looks absolutely amazing in just about anything.

Hmm…Blake Lively might be just too perfect.  If I didn’t have a girl-crush, I would totally hate her! 

Happy 24^th Birthday to her!

Wish List: Missoni

Anyone who has ever flipped through the pages of Vogue or Elle, and has the slightest interest in fashion, will definitely know the name behind the famous zigzag, vibrant-colored patterns: MISSONI. And if you’re like me, you probably gave a resounding “hooray” to the news that they were partnering with Target to bring loyal fashionistas {like us!} a more affordable line of apparel and {what I’m most excited about!!} home accessories!

I know you’ll agree that the classic zigzags look pretty darn cute on just about anything – pillows, frames, curtains and even storage boxes. Here are some of our favorite pieces:

The Missoni for Target collection will include over 400 pieces and available in-stores Sept 13^th. I might be the first in line!

Dreaming Of...

 ...A contemporary pink office!  My goal for the {near} future is to build myself a home office - A little sanctuary where creative juices can flow abundantly.  For awhile now, I’ve had a picture of what this space would look like in my head...but not until I stumbled upon the Knights Moves blog when I saw my vision come to life.

Swooning over the splashes of pink in this clean and sleek background...

I would probably add a little sparkle with chandeliers and a comfy couch with sequined pillows, like this Society Social eye candy....

Oh....some day.....

Happy Day...

There are a few reasons to smile today.  The main one being that its FRIDAY!  Happy weekend to all! I'm looking forward to a low-key weekend (finally!) filled with sun, relaxation and nothing else!

There are very few things that can stop me in my tracks!  And one of them is this....

Miu Miu's Fall 2011 sparkly sneakers! INSANE.  I'm not a sneaker-kind-of-girl, but I can definitely see myself rockin' this silver pair when fall approaches.  Some may say too much - but I say, the more glitter the better!

The only downside is the dent it will put in my budget.  These puppies go for $450 to $585!  Hmmm....I can already picture how happy the hubby will be....
