I heart Ikat

 Not a new trend, I know, but I still love it!  Full of pretty colors and tons of design interest, Ikat prints are fabulous from home to wardrobe!

Bar Carts!

I have been obsessed with bar carts lately and I like just about everything from retro-chic to modern sleek.  Not just for parties, these chic vignettes add a little something to any dining or living room space.  They make great alternative to the wet bar and are perfect for smaller spaces where storage might be a problem.  You don't necessarily need a specific piece of furniture (I've arranged my own atop a vintage stereo cabinet with a few decorative trays!)

Sunscreen arsenal!

Suncreen picks, a post inspired by my (bad habit of) close inspection in the magnified mirror.  My impending 40th birthday might have a little to do with it too.  I'm officially obsessed with slowing the aging process... something I wish had kicked in a few years ago!
