Some New Crew

I love when a new J. Crew catalog comes in the mail. I like to have some quiet time on the couch and pretend to be one of their models, preferably while eating a nice cube of gouda cheese. 

Here's what I was loving from their latest goodies....

1. This wash is exactly what I've been looking for...now if they would just go on sale!  (Toothpick jeans in cherish wash, $188)

2. This striped tee is calling my name! J.Crew Bar-stripe tee, $40 
3. I have the light wash in this shirt, the darker one is perfect for Fall. Keeper chambray, $78 
4. A cute casual tee and a skirt Fluted skirt in black / 

Change is coming....

What is smart to do a few weeks before a bunch of family comes in to town? Why tear out the guest bathroom of course! I have to admit this is partly my fault since I put the bug in my husband's ear....Wouldn't it be great to get the bathroom re-done before everyone comes?

Well Nathan didn't have work one day and he decided to tear the whole thing out, even the walls!

Needless to say this project is taking longer than we thought, mainly because the plumbing needs to be re-done since we are switching from one sink to two. Among other things....

Our plan is to have it mostly black and white, and a 'lil bit of pink for the girls. 

Here are the before pictures:

And now: eek!

And the inspiration (in case you can't picture a black bathroom without shuddering)....

We are off to Idaho next week so I am hoping to share some progress updates soon after that!

I'm Loving for Summer....

These cut-offs from J. Crew....

This Essie nail polish....

This Gorjana anchor lariat necklace.....

This Fossil tote bag that has a coated bottom...perfect for the pool!...

And this bikini from Target, which I know is really popular but I absolutely love the fit....

Happy Summer!
