Fiesta!

I am brimming over in anticipation of the upcoming, and much needed, girls weekend.  We are all dear friends from our college days and each with busy chaotic lives.  As we grow older and our families and responsibilities grow bigger, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get together.  So, this weekend we will rejuvenate those friendships, poolside, with a drink in each hand!  Always in favor of adding a theme to any party, I will be channelling these lovely ladies and might be sporting one {or more} of these fiesta inspired goodies.

Twin Beds

A childhood friend of mine had two twin beds in her room when we were growing up and I always loved the look and functionality of it.  When my husband's aunt asked if we were interested in the twin beds she was no longer using I had to jump at her offer.  And when I saw them in person I was head over heals.  Today, we had those very beds installed in Vivi's room and her baby bed removed.  Sleeping arrangements around here are about to get interesting.

Haute Tots: Seattle Addition

To celebrate New Year's we took a trip up to Seattle and the Pacific Northwest to visit my family and see old friends.  Our trip was full of day trips and quiet nights at home enjoying delicious home cooked meals.   While we were visiting, I had the idea to start this new series.  I love to dress my kids.  I shop for them more than I shop for myself.  What is it about miniature clothes that is so darn cute.  Haute Tots was born to document some of the cuter outfits that have come around, hope you enjoy!

Tangerine Tango: 2012 Pantone Color of the Year

Pantone named tangerine tango  the official color of 2012 this week.  An unexpected but fresh and modern color choice.  Pantone described it as exotic and friendly, and I couldn't agree more.  For another fresh take on the newest color of the year, head over to The House of Turquoise where Erin rounds up her favorite orange and turquoise combos.
