I got this cool thing...Crate & Barrel pebble decorative pillow!

It was March.17th, the day of the St. Patricks Day Parade in NYC. I had the daunting task of getting from the west side to the east side for a doctors appointment right in the middle of the parade.
There were green people everywhere. More like green monsters. Drunk. Happy. Running around. Shouting. I was playing frogger in a sea of green. Fighting through the crowds of leprechauns and shamrocks.
I spied a woman who was on a mission like myself. She was moving at a fast pace and weaving and dodging the sea of green like a pro. I rode her coat tails and swiftly made my way through.
When I got across town early, I had some time to kill.
I needed peace. Sanctuary. I saw Crate & Barrel. Perfect! I can rest on their comfy couches.
I was so excited when I saw the "Cory" pillow staring at me. It looked like stones!! When I got closer I could see it was fabric. Check the pillow out HERE.
This is how it looks with my couch and other pillows.

I must say I am pleased! I love bringing the beach to my living room.
Here is a close up picture so you can see what the "stones" look like.

It is so fun to decorate with a beach theme. You can do mother of pearl accents (like my lamp), starfish, coral, pebbles, sand, sand dollars, shells, driftwood etc. Such a fun theme for Spring & Summer!
More on this in future blogs.

I got this cool thing... Bubble gum machine headband

So I was shopping in NYC at a little apothecary type store. It is actually called a "Lifestyle Emporium." It is called Therapie. Here is a link to the WEBSITE. I was looking for sunscreen for myself and my baby. In the front of the store they always have super cute things. I got a great orange and turquoise sea horse wallet for the summer (I will blog about that another time) and I got a head band that is meant for little girls but I just couldn't resist. It is a gold headband with gum ball machines in muted rhinestones on it. How adorable?! It is by Bari Lynn Accessories. Here is a picture of me wearing it along with my Marilyn Monroe t-shirt from last weeks blog.

Below are two close up pictures of the headband. It has three gum ball machines across.

Here is an extreme close up so you can see what the rhinestones are like.

Here is a link to some other cute headbands Therapie has HERE.

I got this cool thing... Marilyn Monroe beach cover up!!

If your house is anything like mine you get Victoria Secret catalogs delivered by the boatload. It seems they are in my mailbox almost every day and more than one at a time! Sometimes three or four sit waiting in the mailbox. One for bathing suits, one for lingerie, one for clothes, one for shoes!!! I was perusing the catalogs the other day and a few things caught my eye, so I went online and did a little shop. :) The greatest thing I got by far was a Marilyn Monroe beach cover up. Check it out on their website HERE.

The great thing about it is you can wear it as a dress with leggings and little high heel booties or lace up military boots, a shirt/tunic with skinny jeans and high boots and as a beach cover up. I adore it. Here is a picture of it hanging on my closet door.

It is super sexy with a hot pink bra for a pop of color since it is off the shoulder. :)

I got this cool thing... Moroccan Hair Oil!

So I kept reading about Moroccan hair oil and I decided to get it. It is AWESOME! My hair feels soft and shiny. It aint cheap, but it is so worth it. :) It also smells delicious.
