I love all white bedrooms. This is so dreamy!



This is the sweater I wore on Thanksgiving day!


I NEED this lamp for my house! :)


The holiday storefront at ANTHROPOLOGIE is gorgeous right now! I wanted everything in the store too..the candles, perfumes, sweaters, tea towels and books!


This is my new "amythest" mohair throw, by Nate Berkus (and the pillow USED to be a placemat, until my mother-in-law turned it into a pillow for me!)

This would be my dream entryway! I love a bright mauve/pink with chocolate brown! And the mirror is fabulous..I have one similar to this..but my "entryway" is too small for it!


Evan was a lion for his 1st Halloween (although he looks more like popeye in this photo..we were laughing so hard when he kept making this face!)

I was on the J. Crew website today & found some fabulous things in the 'sale' section..so I might run to the store near my house!






I found these baby booties on Etsy.com and if we have a girl next..I MUST own these for my lil' one!:)

I have been SOOO into chevron print lately! I am searching for a fabric similar to this to cover a chair with! AND I saw this pillow at "Home Goods" but didn't buy it..I am hitting myself now!:(


I wish I could raid Sienna Miller's closet! I love this dress! I am so into mauves right now (dresses, pillows, artwork!)


Our next house project is working on the kitchen & I am obsessed with looking for a backsplash! LOVE THIS KITCHEN!


I went over to a friends house on Sat. night & Doug watched Evan...so this is a photo of me kissing boo-boo good-bye! I missed him!

We used "Blue Bouquet" florists (here in Kansas City) for our vow renewal last year! I can't say enough good things about Drue & Neil! They are SO creative, SO nice and SO crafty!:) I adore this cake with fresh hot pink flowers & this boutenierre! Their site is here: www.bluebouquet.com


I love pink & khaki together! One of my fave color combos. This stylish bag is on my wish list! It's a design by Tory Burch!


I want thick hair like this! (And I'll take these sunglasses & the coat too!:)

Evan wanted to go to Paris with Mimi & Grandad..he even had his passport ready to go! He's missing them already! :(


My new espresso cups! Cheetah print! So glam!:)


I love this outfit! I saw a blazer when shopping the other night..I should have bought it!!!! Maybe I'll go back & see if it's still there..so I can wear something like this (although..no shorts..jeans for me!:)

I LOVE THIS CAR!:) A vintage mercedes seems like a good company car, for "Bella by Karah." I am into white cars! (I copied the image from Urban Grace.) www.urbangrace.com

I found the next car for my dad! :) We all love the color orange in our family ( I mean, come on, we had the guys wear orange "Converse" tennis shoes at our wedding (to match my orange flowers & the guys' orange ties!) Soooo I was thinking my dad should get this car & pass it down to Evan! (Thoughts, Dad????:)



This is a gorgeous nursery! I plan to hang a "shabby chic" chandelier somewhere in our house, as I've already bought it. I am thinking if we have another baby (not if, when!:) I'd love to make a super classy nursery for my bebe girl (fingers crossed I have a girlie girl next!:)


I love trellis print & I found this exact pattern as duvet cover at "Marshalls" for $15. I plan to cover a chair like these, or use the duvet in Evan's room when he gets his "big boy" bed.

Evan in the kitchen..he loves to be in there while I am in there, making coffee in the morning. Love bebes in pajamas!!


Evan outside of "Zest" with the pumpkins. He was having a blast! I can't wait to go to a pumpkin patch with him this year...stay tuned for his first ever halloween costume, later this month!

One of my bestest friends and her sister, are off to Punta Cana, Domican Republic for a vacation! Bon Voyage!
Safe travels Nicholle & Rachael! Send me a postcard!:)

I love this button down shirt and this flower pin! I have a pin like this in ivory. But I'd love to get my hands on this duo! (My mother in law is a fabulous seamstress and I've asked her to do a few sewing projects for me!) I bet she could make a flower pin like this for me! :)


I love pink! I want it in every room in my house, but I will hold back, as I live with 2 boys!:)




I want this print!
I really would like this on a bright pink pillow!

My boo-boo is changing & growing right before my very eyes! Here is a recent pic (and one of my faves!)
Evan is really attached to his Grandad.
My parents leave for their European adventure VERY soon and they will be missed!
Evan follows my dad everywhere and watches him like a hawk! When My dad is around, I am chopped liver! They're best buds!

Doug & I celebrated our 1 year anniversary on Aug. 16th. We went to dinner at NORTH and saw "The Time Traveler's Wife," what a tearjerker! We also celebrated Evan Michael's 6 month birthday on Aug. 17th! Cheers to our lil' sweetie bird!

I am forever getting ideas for decorating our house! We saw barstools at Target tonight that we'll go back & get, now that we have our measurements! So our kitchen will have a small udpate after we get those! I'd like a new light above the sink too! And we plan to invest in a "high-top" table eventually as well. To add a modern touch to our kitchen and we think it'll be better for entertaining! I love this photo of a white kitchen with all the dark accents!

I'm a mommy! Evan arrived on Feb. 17th! We love our lil' sweetie bird!


Friday, January 2, 2009


Our sweet baby boy has his nursery all set for his arrival. (We do need to get a few more things, but getting his crib made it feel more complete. We went for the most neutral colors to keep it calming & simple for our lil' sweetie bird! Hootie is also sooo excited for Evan's arrival! :)
