Apologies for the Hiatus!

Hi All! So sorry it has been quite some time since I have been able to post! The end of the school year happened to be significantly more chaotic than anticipated. With 5 cumulative finals, moving out of my dorm, and our season finishing Eastern Sprints regatta in Camden, NJ; I was prepared for a crazy week... but tack on the flu and a myriad of other little things- and well needless to say it has been out of control. But I'm back now and looking forward to summer postings!

Here are a few things that have caught my eye lately! 

Beautiful way to create a new vase! A matte finish painted jar!

The inside of a Snapple cap is a sure way to a smile :)

Harold Parker State Forest is a beautiful place to spend a day outdoors!
I especially love canoeing there in the summertime.

Soft Serve ice-cream is a summertime dessert
my boyfriend and I like to grab after a day of golf!

I think this is such a gorgeous shot! It reminds me of an
empty beach on a perfectly sunny day.

What a cute way to decorate with those little
seashells picked up after a day on the ocean!

Watermelon is probably one of my favorite snacks during the summer!
It's so refreshing!

You Can Never Have Too Many Throw Pillows


Pier 1 along with Home Goods are possibly two of the most amazing home decor stores I have come across. Any time your looking for a little nick nack of sorts to add a little something to your home, these are the stores to check out.

One of my absolute favorite items that you can find at both of these stores are throw pillows! In living rooms and bedrooms, throw pillows can add such  dimension. One of the fun aspects about tossing a few throw pillows on the couch, or in your bedroom is that they don't all have to be identical, feel free to mix and match!

Pick different hues or shades that complement your main color scheme and go wild! I think that throw pillows are a fun and unique way to add some pop to your home decoration; especially in bedrooms when most furniture pieces fall along the same horizontal plane. A few throw pillows will not only break up that flat planed perspective, but give you the ability to branch out with some fun vibrant colors. In the living room it could be as simple as adding a small touch of color to a rather monochromatic scheme.

Next time you find yourself with a bit of downtime, swing by your nearest Peir 1 or Home Goods and take a stroll through the isles. You could be very surprised with the fun items you might find!
