Waterside Wednesday!

Everything is better waterside! 

After a great day on the beach there is nothing better than a fun dinner with family and friends waterside - with the breeze, view, sunsets.... ahhh, take me away! 

Bliss for sure!

Rustic chic front porch - perfect place for everything!

This bamboo roof will keep you shaded while enjoying a delicious waterside meal!

Lanterns are a stylish way to keep your tablecloth or runner from blowing away in the breeze while dining waterside!

For those who might prefer to dine indoors, these french doors and fabulous porch allow for waterside dining from just inside!

Can you imagine relaxing in this hammock after a fun waterside dinner with friends? Bliss in my book!

Thursday's Thought of the Day...

...Life is always a little better sitting on a porch!

How fab is this one?

Sorry for the short post, friends. 

Busy, busy day at work but after today I'll have a little bit of a life back! 

Tootles for now...

The Best Way to Keep Cool...Floating in the Pool!

This hot, hot weather calls for a mat and a pool - and a few frozen cocktails!

Kiawah Island + Pool + Overlooking the Marsh = True, true bliss in my book!

Chandeliers by the pool? Why not? 

 Monique Lhullier's backyard pool

These covered lounges look perfect for a nap by the pool!

Amazing Grace villa in Turks and Caicos - without a doubt amazing, pool and villa!

Infinity pool at Cindy Crawford's Malibu home - yes please!

Beautiful pool overlooking the Potomac right outside of Washington, DC

Monday, Monday....

This patio looks way more inviting than my desk does right now....

Workin' for the weekend.

Yellow Just For You, VCU!

Richmond is the proud home of the VCU Rams who have taken all of us (and our brackets) by storm with their amazing run to the Final Four!

It's always fun to see a true Cinderella team advance 

but it's even more fun when they're a hometown team! 

Admittedly, Yellow is not typically my color of choice,

and while VCU's official colors are Gold and Black,

I decided to run with yellowie-gold today and actually...
I think I may be warming up to it.

So to you, VCU Rams - GO GET 'EM!

Yellow, Black and Deep Taupe Living Room

Yellow Canopy Chairs - ADORE!

Love the Yellow Curtains!

Talk about a yellow bathroom!

What cute wedding yellow and white nautical flag programs?!?!

How fun would these yellow steps be in a beach house?

Daydreaming....

What if we were spending our Thanksgiving at this beach-side table?

It's Friday, I'm In Love...

I simply am not a cold weather person. 

I enjoy the sun (and being tan!), being warm, and being outside (ideally sitting by a beach.)  

I guess it's time though to embrace the cold winter months that are upon us.... 

and what better way to still be outside in the fresh air but WARM than to be sitting by one of these fabulous outdoor fireplaces?
