Ikea Lack TV Stand

 I instantly fell in love with this apartment below. {If anyone knows the source, please let me know! I saved it on my computer & forgot to add the source, oops!}I love everything about it; from the modern sleek lines to the pop of blues & greens throughout. Currently I'm on the search for a sleek & simple tv stand. I looove the tv stand in this apartment. 

First things first, I immediately went to Ikea's website! I spotted the "lack" tv stand in white for $49.99 It's definitely on the list! I then went to google & tried to find what it looked like in "real life" (: I love to do this because it gives you a better idea of the size, scale, opinions, etc.

 It is used here as a coffee table, pretty cool!

This is ikea's picture above. Absolutely love it! I love the way you can still decorate around it. That's a MUST! =)

 Has anyone owned the ikea lack tv stand? Likes or dislikes? I'll let you know if I decide to buy it or not! =)

Disneyland!

Perhaps the number one thing I was excited about in California was DISNEYLAND! It was such a magical place! The weather was perfect & the lines were short! What more could you ask for? (: We had a really good time.

                                        



                                     
 This my prince in front of It's a Small World. Calvin's mom was the most excited about this ride than any of us! haha It was cute & a little freaky! lol

 I should have got a better picture of my shirt, it had Mickey & Minnie on the front & their backs were on the back of my shirt, it was super cute! Although I tried, I couldn't get Calvin to wear a Disney shirt! But he did wear a red shirt! lol

I had read on Pinterest, that if you go to Disney World or Disneyland, you MUST get a dole whip float. That was number one on my phone notepad for my "Disney To-Do List." It was amazing! Super refreshing! It's Dole pineapple soft serve with pineapple juice on the bottom.... yum!

 Calvin & I in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle!

 A classic picture you must get! (:

 the teacups!! We were so tired, we decided not to spin them, just enjoy the ride! haha The next day we were in Barnes & Noble & I read that the lavender teacup spins the fastest!

                                   

Oh yeah, right before we left to Disneyland, I decided to cut my hair! I cut around 4-4.5 inches off. It feels so good!

These are two pictures I took & made into a collage on instagram. It melts my heart! I wish I could have met Walt Disney. Such a kind heart to invent Disney!

Favorites of Disneyland!

Space Mountain

Peter Pan's Flight

We were about to leave & we still wanted to ride several rides & check out downtown Disney, see the parade, etc {haha} but since we were with his mother & kids, we were on their schedule. We had enough time for one ride & we chose Peter Pan's Flight. We ended up waiting an hour and a half (the longest we had to wait for a ride which was amazing but not good since we were in a hurry lol) I'm so thankful it ended up being my favorite ride! Calvin won't admit it, but he liked it too! haha

Rancho del Zocalo restaurant

This Mexican restaurant was delicious! They gave you good size portions & also free refills! Gotta love that!

I also loved that Disneyland isn't huge, it's somewhat small, you could make your way around very easily. It was so awesome to experience the first & original Disneyland. I don't think I saw one person in a bad mood. Now, I can't wait to visit Disney World!

Travels & Kendra Scott!

Hey everyone! Sorry I have been out for a while. It's been crazy here! I have been out of town every.single.weekend. this month including 10 days in the middle. It's good to be getting back in routine today. My husband & I went with his mother to California on a business trip to help out & babysit the kids while she was away for the week & to give her a break. First off, California is AMAZING!! We are already planning our trip back! We got to see so much stuff, but we definitely want to go back & see more. It will also be a totally different experience with just the two of us, versus babysitting 4 kids! hehe (:

While we were in Beverly Hills, I spotted the Kendra Scott store! It was so awesome to see all the beautiful, colorful, bright jewelry all in one place! Talk about eye candy! I was in heaven! (: Kendra Scott only has three store locations: Beverly Hills, Austin, & Dallas. It was definitely a treat to have the pleasure to shop inside the store, the two girls working there were very friendly & helpful! I'll definitely be back when I'm in Cali again.

 Calvin bought me this pair of beautiful earrings as an anniversary present {our 5th anniversary was May 26th!} I absolutely love them & him too! ;) They came in the cutest dust bag too!

I have the earrings on in this picture, click on the picture to enlarge  (:

I promise to be back blogging more, I've missed it! Until then, I'm going to start unpacking & doing laundry! Have an awesome Memorial Day!

iPhone Case Shopping

My Kate Spade iPhone case broke yesterday. I was sad, but also excited to get a new one. Love when that happens! I went to the website Society 6 & oh my goodness. The choices. The designs. Ahhh! Haha There were sooo many to choose from! Here were my top 10:











And the winner is the last one {the yellow vw!} It is especially close to my heart because I own a VW! Although it isn't pink or turquoise with sparkles {like my usual picks haha} it is very different & unique which I also absolutely love. The one that came in a very close second was #9, that may be my next one. I love all the vintage 50s clothes in front of that cute shop.

Have you ever been to Society 6? If you haven't, go check it out!

Springtime Color!

I am sooo happy it is Spring!!! I love how the earth really feels like it comes to ALIVE. I'm so thankful that we haven't had much of a winter in Virginia Beach. I absolutely LOVE the weather here! But there was still something missing from December~February {yes only, February, my daffodils starting blooming in the middle of February!} that something was COLOR. I'm so happy to see color again; from fashion, decor, & nature!

So speaking of color, I LOVE these rooms!

Backyard Spaces and Patios

Lately I have been daydreaming of beautiful outdoor spaces. It's been such a gorgeous month. Looking at these beautiful spaces makes me want to dive in & start decorating our backyard!

















A beautiful backyard space, friends, music, laughter, sunshine, twinkle lights . . . what more could you ask for?! =)

What about you? Have you started thinking about your backyard/balcony space?
