Summer shoes

I saw these amazing summer shoes from Shoptometrist and immediately had to share! I know, Summer is the time for more relaxing (yet pretty!) flats and flip-flops. But I definitely cant say no these beauties! Can you?

Pendant lights

I am soo exhausted right now from nonstop business trips, meetings, events, etc., so all I want to do now that I finally have a few hours to sit and relax is browse the net, find some pretty and funny things and pretend I haven't been out of the blogging world for more than a week (too tired to even sleep!)

So! How are you my lovelies? I hope you didn't think I have abandoned you. Just really super duper busy.

Anyway! I am loving these pendant lights, soo pretty!! What a nice idea to dress up a room, especially during events, weddings even. What do you think?

Monday wish

It's soo warm and windy here! I so wish I could just relax in a hammock (which I have yet to install) at our front porch and just sip some cold lemonade! Isn't that what summer should look like? Alas, it's the exact opposite for me. Work, work, work! I hope you my lovelies are having more success in the 'relaxing' department... are you?

Happy Monday!

Oh and before I forget, Easter giveaway winner announcement!

The woodsy lamp goes to:

Sara of Lady Bug in Love

Congratulations dear!

Summer dress-up

I wish I could look like this in the office now that it's Summer season once again (I know, it's still Springtime in your areas). I really need a wardrobe makeover and I hope these pieces would just magically appear in my closet; I'm sure you're all thinking the same! Oh, and that last one with the shorts--so cute for Saturday brunch with Jay! How's your Winter to Spring wardrobe switch doing, my ladies?

Lovely clay illustrations

How amazing are these clay illustrations by Irma Gruenholz? I love them all and I think they would look great hanging on the wall.

Cute alert: amazing animal photos!

These photos by Steve Hoskins are soo amazing! I just love how clear these shots are. And these pets are the absolute cutest! I wish I could have Chico, our chocolate brown Labrador, stay still for even just five seconds so I could take a decent photo. Haha. What pets do you have?

Check out more photos in Mr. Hoskin's site! Warning, some pets are not at all cuddly as the ones I have posted!

Have a lovely Monday everyone! Oh and don't forget to join my Easter giveaway!

Happy Easter!!!

Happy Easter everyone! To those of you who celebrate this special day, what will you be doing? I will be with my family and we will have an amazing Easter brunch right after church. I just wish our table would look like the one in the photo, so pretty!

Have fun my darlings, and don't forget to join my Easter giveaway!

On to the woods: an Easter giveaway!

Hello everyone! Oh, it's been quite a while. Been super busy at work and all I did yesterday, aside from hearing mass, was sleep! But I am here and I have a surprise for you (well, it's not really a surprise because the post's title just about gave it away).

In celebration of Easter Sunday, the generous folks over at CSN stores have decided to sponsor my second blog giveaway! Yay! As a lot of you must know, CSN stores have over 200 sites that sell absolutely everything, from kitchen wares, to lovely home decors, to amazing furniture, to cool barstools. They have so much pretty stuff in there, so I suggest you all check it out!

On to the giveaway! Yep, that's it above. It's this woodsy lamp that reminds me of cabin getaways and summer camp. It's so adorable, and it could be yours! All you have to do is:

1. Be a follower and leave a comment here saying what the lamp reminds you of (1 entry)
2. Blog or tweet about this giveaway (+ 2 entries)

Please state in your comment that you're a follower and include your email address; add another comment to say that you have blogged or tweeted and include the link.

The winner will be chosen at random and will be announced on Friday! Good luck!

P.S. Unfortunately, this giveaway is open only to residents of the US and Canada. I'm sorry to my lovely readers from the other continents. Come to think of it, even I cannot win it if it wasn't mine to give. Haha. Oh well, I will definitely have more giveaways in the future!
