Lilly Pulitzer for Target

When the news broke that Target was teaming up with Lilly Pulitzer, I just nearly died. I have their launch on my Calendar for months now, and I can't wait! The collection launches on April 19, online and in stores!

This is just a little snip of one of the projects I am currently working on. I am doing a beachy living room for a client!

On The Menu: Lemon Basil Pork Chops

I thought this Lemon Basil Pork Chop recipe would be a great first post the "On The Menu" series. I love cooking and the idea of sharing my favorite recipes with you! I need to give most of the credit to Bitz & Giggles. However I did make some changes based on my personal preferences and available resources. I bought my pork chops from Trader Joes, which is where I do most of my shopping, so their packaging only came with 3 pork loin chops instead of 4. I used 6 tablespoons on lemon juice instead of 3 because lets face it, I am obsessed with lemon. I chopped my basil instead of mincing it and I didn't let the chops marinate for 20 minutes because, I didn't have the time. Another major change was baking instead of grilling. I baked my chops at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. All in all I would have to say, this recipe is one of my favorite weeknight go-to's. I am always drawn to recipes that have very few ingredients. I hope y'all enjoy!

Getting Back into the swing of things

I haven’t updated my blog in about a year, due to several reasons. When I was writing before, I wasn’t finding enough inspiration to keep the blog going, and to keep myself motivated. Also, I didn’t have time to write consistent posts every week. Nothing has really changed as far as the time factor goes: I am still as busy as ever working full time and also taking on clients through my private design business. Lately I have had a hard time finding inspiration professionally, and I am hoping that by writing on the this blog, it will help get the juices flowing again.

Bold and Beautiful Stripes

Although bold stripes where a trend in 2013, I have been a long time lover of bold contrast. And, lets be real, black and white is my favorite color scheme.

I am loving this Kate Spade green paired with these stripes. It is just fabulous!

Whether horizontal or vertical, on the wall or on the floor, or just a small accent, stripes are bound to take your to the next level.
