Colors...and my inner preppiness

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  In keeping with the green spirit I wanted to spend today writing about colors I love.  Growing up I acquired quite a liking for pink and green...yes, I was pretty preppy in high school and the beginnings of college.  OK, so I had a bit of an obsession with pink and green, my friends used to say my room looked like pink and green exploded in it.  Although today my obsession has subsided and  I wouldn't consider myself quite the prepster I was then, I still have my moments when my love for color and preppiness take over.


Sooo today I thought I'd find some images that were colorful and fun and just made me happy for the spring and summer ahead...I mean how can I resist, it's ACTUALLY nice out finally!

Adorable mismatching little girls...the colors are so bright and fun!

Awesome cake, how can you not love pink
and green after looking at this?!

This is a page from Kate Spade's blog, it's a blog all about color!  I've always just been a big Kate Spade fan, everything is always so colorful and classic!

Can you guess where these prints are from?  If you guessed
Lilly Pullitzer, you're correct!  

I found this through dailycandy and am loving
their website, you can get samples of perfumes
for $3, check it out (isn't this bottle amazing?!)

I hope you enjoyed these images and they make you smile.  I know that all I can think about now is summertime...sitting on the beach soaking in the the sun, can't wait!  What's your favorite color?  What colors and images make you happy?

To quote from an old favorite song...

Think Pink

(think pink)

(think pink)
it's your favorite color girl,
it's the color of the world

THINK PINK!

...yup, used to love that song :) :)

Spring Forward!

Good morning readers!  I hope everyone remembered to change their clocks yesterday since we went into daylight savings time!  Although we lost an hour yesterday in the end daylight savings time always makes me very excited of the weather to come.  That extra time in the evening allows us to do so much more with our days...especially for those of us who work a 9-5 job.  I love getting out of work and having it still be light outside!

For some reason the first thing I always think about when I think of being outside in the evening is catching fireflies with my siblings and cousins as a child.  This was about one of our favorite things to do, just as dusk hit and it began to get dark we would go out with our mason jars and try to catch as many fireflies as we could.  It was pure happiness being out there, the weather was warm, we were at the beach, and the only worry in the world was if the fireflies would live if we put them in a jar.

These days, sadly, catching fireflies is not what I usually spend my time doing after work.  It is lovely though to leave work and go running when it is still light out or eat dinner outside and watch the sun go down.  In the city it seems like everyone is outside at this time.  People are walking their dogs or catching up with neighbors.  Everyone is just a bit happier because the weight of winter has been lifted off their shoulders.  This is one of my favorite things about spring, happiness levels seem to increase because it is not so cold, flowers are blooming, and people are coming out of hibernation again....and it means summer, my favorite season, is only one season away!

What's your favorite thing about spring?  Do you do anything special during that hour or two extra of sunlight?  Make sure to enjoy that extra sunlight and have a great day!
