What I Wish I Were Wearing Wednesday {continued!}

I just couldn't stay away for long, there are too many clothes to pin and outfits to polyvore to just let my fabulous guest posters have all the fun! So here is an extra dose of what I wish I were wearing this week!

I am going to Santa Cruz to visit some of my favorite antique shops again this weekend and while the weather here is starting to show signs of spring no such luck for Santa Cruz.  But that is ok, I can wait. For this weekend I will make do with these amazing boots and nautical striped sweater! And I love the look of that rose gold watch - so pretty!


Hope everyone ones Wednesday is going wonderfully, don't forget to enter my giveaway!

Love, Julie 

Friday Fun

Since it is Friday and in honor of my little herb seedlings, which are just sprouting! (Aren't they cute?) I wanted to feature some delicious looking cocktails made with herbs from Martha Stewart! There are lots on her website and in last month's planting issue of Martha Steward Living but here are my favorites! (click the photos for the full recipes!)

Frozen watermelon cubes double as ice in your drink!

I love any mojtios and these honeydew ones look amazing!

Okay, so these don't officially have any alcohol in them but they are so darn cute... Plus, I know you, you are creative, you will figure out to spruce these right up!

I am very happy it is Friday, even though I had Monday off, this week seems like it has crawled by. The weather promises more rain around here but Mitchell and I are taking a mini vacation to SF so cross your fingers we get at least a few hours of sun! What are your exciting weekend plans? It must be sunny somewhere right?

Weekend Plans

My lovely readers, what are your plans for the weekend? This week seems like it has flown by so I feel like I don't have tons of set-in-stone plans I need to get done today and tomorrow. This is great because it means more time for things like this-

 {Sleeping In}

{A Picnic in the Park}

{UnStraightened Curls}

{Tell me this picture doesn't make you wish you had red hair, just for a second}

{Pretty Lipstick}

{And Maybe a Hat as Cute as This}

 

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend full of things they love!
