Breezy Prints

It's always just a little bit harder to get up on Friday mornings, since my husband has his weekly off of sorts this day ! This morning I woke up and walked out of our air conditioned A/C room and found to my surprise that winter left us over night. Well well, hello summer ! Which also means its time for those amazing cottons and prints adoring ever summer collective... !

Pinky Lakes

I am still recovering from a very different sort of Valentine's Day, I'm still seeing through rose colored glasses. Have you heard of a pink lake? There are a number of famous ones that have popped up on my desktop via blogs and Pinterest. They are just the coolest. According to Wikipedia, the lake's color is "usually due to the presence of algae that produces carotenoids, such as Dunaliella salina." Have your travels ever found you on the banks of a pink lake? Kunal Shah - these should go on our list of must see's !!
