Wishing and Hoping...

In honor of my birthday coming up soon, I thought I'd allow myself  3 items that I wish for or hope one day I might be so lucky to get....not that I NEED these items, but if I were to happen to receive them one day, I would receive them graciously!  :)

Wish #1 is DIAMOND STUDS! 

Wish #2 is a DIAMOND NECKLACE!

Wish #3 is more DAVID YURMAN JEWELRY!  I LOVE my saphire cable bracelet.  I wear it every day, and I would like ummm more bracelets to stack with it maybe.  That would be nice I think.  Or maybe a ring, or necklace, or earrings, I mean I wouldn't be picky as to what type of jewelry actually.  I think this piece is lovely though.

So, now that I've revealed that I don't only have an obsession with necklaces (click here), I apparently have an obsession with jewelry!  Yes, I do.  Jewelry is definitely something I go crazy over! 

I also know that this will not be the year that I get any of these pieces for my birthday, which I'm totally okay with, but these are definitely great items for future big celebrations, say milestone anniversaries would be one idea! Just saying, in case my husband happens to be reading.  ;)  and now back to reality...

Hope you are all having a great Wednesday.  I'm definitely looking forward to the weekend already!  It can't get here fast enough.  My mom is going to be here visiting from Colorado, and I'm so excited.  She will be here over my birthday, so we'll get to celebrate together.  And that in itself is enough of a birthday present for me!!!

New Gallery Wall

This past weekend was wonderful! I spent a lot of time meeting up with friends to chat and catch up, doing things around the house, and spending time with my wonderful husband!  It was great.  I've been busy with work and definitely needed a weekend to rest and catch up on life....it of course was just too short! Isn't it always?  :)

Remember the corner of our Master Bedroom that I said needed art or a gallery wall?  Well, this past weekend I finally hung up the new silver frames I got from Ikea to make a little gallery wall over the couch.  I already love looking at the pictures and remembering great times from vacations, wedding and holidays.  I even caught my husband standing in front of them last night taking a look.  I like that it makes our bedroom more personal.

 Also this past weekend the hubby and I had a wonderful breakfast on Saturday morning together at one of our favorite spots to hang out.  I had a delicious veggie omelete and a frozen mimosa!!  (hubby had one too - shhhh he doesn't like to admit that he enjoys them!)

And Saturday night we had our friends over that we went to Belize with to attempt to make pupusas! (remember I raved about them in my summer love post)  I think it was definitely a success!  We made the coleslaw and sauce that was almost spot on to what their version was like.  As for the actual pupusas, I'd say we need to work on the dough - it wasn't quite like theirs. But we'll give it another try sometime.  As for the fillings, we did pork, shrimp, beans and cheese (monterrey jack, goat and oaxaca) - we mixed up the varieties and they were all pretty fantastic if I do say so myself!  I didn't take any pictures sadly, but what I did capture a picture of is that one of our friends brought over this cake as a surprise!  So fun! 

(I apologize for the pics. I'm having to use my phone until we can replace my old camera.)

Hope you all had a great weekend as well, and I hope your week is already off to a great start! Only 4 more days till the next weekend!

Necklace Obsession

I don't know why, but lately I've gone a little overboard on necklaces.  I usually go for bracelets and earrings, but recently I bought a necklace and then before I knew it I had a bought two more...I've become obsessed!! haha Somebody stop me!  Here are my new treasures:

 Stella and Dot's Vintage Stella Link Necklace - LOVE it!!  It's a piece that is classic, but still bold and fun all at the same time.  It's so versatile!  I imagine I'll get a lot of wear out of it over the years to come.

Kendra Scott's Tavi Chalcedony Necklace - I got this necklace on Gilt!  A good deal, and I adore the color. 



Sea Blue Necklace from IKE and Co. on Etsy - I saw this necklace and fell in love with it and ordered it immediately.  When I received it, I loved it even more in person! So pretty!!  Perfect for Summer!  In addition to her store, Angie also has a blog, Life with IKE.  If you want to visit her, click here.



What are your current obsessions??  Any new treasures that you would like to share with us?
