Gadgets:

I love useful gadgets! Recently I fell in love with the website Quirky. My favorite item from their site is the porter for grilling; just recently we had family over for a weekend BBQ, and I had to prepare several trays for the raw and cooked food! This is a great space saver and I love that it comes in a simple, modern white design!

{ $34.99 }

Bubbles:

I was and still am completely obsessed with the Bubble Necklace from JCrew. It comes in six beautiful colors (Pink, Green, Navy, Royal Blue, Pink Blossom, & Turquoise)  and currently has a sale tag of $120 (from $150). Unfortunately, this price tag is still a little high for my pocketbook, specially if you want it in ALL colors! Ever since my obsession began, I have stumbled on many vendors selling look-a-likes for a third of the price (it was fate!). Here is what they look like!

 

 

{ILY Couture $49.00 Got it in Yellow and Ivory}

 

 

{Ebay $13.92 got it in Gray}
 

 

{Ebay $11.89 got it in Navy}

{Ebay $11.96 got it in Green}

 

The only downside to Ebay is that each necklace was bought from a different vendor, because I could never locate the same vendor. I was worried that the purchase would be a scam, but since the prices were so low, I tried not to stress about it! If you need this in a rush for a party I wouldnt recommend it, since shipping can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks.

 

Here are some other great vendors

who sell it as well!

Play Time:

After a year of being in our new  home, we are finally getting around to unpacking the last few remaining boxes, and starting on Victoria's playroom! It just wasn't a priority and she was too little to have really enjoyed it. Now that's she's finally walking and enjoying her found freedom, we thought it was time to give her a place to play and call her own! Since her nursery is very Pottery Barn traditional, we decided to make her playroom an extension of our home, and make it sleek and modern. Here are some rooms I found while searching for inspiration!

colorful containers to store toys}
