Just Sayin'

Brilliant necklace spotted here, sold here.

FYI.

Since I can't buy them now, these pillows are on my birthday list. (March 10 folks. Thanks.)




Oh and I'll be 27 on March 10. Ummm...yikes.

In Stitches.

How completely adorable are these embroidered hoops by London artists You Are With Me. I really wish I knew how to cross stitch. I tried my hand at it once and I think I need to re-enroll myself in a class.





$20-$25 each

Get Your Grill On.

I'm no Bobby Flay, but I want this portable charcoal grill like whoa.

Tribal.

I got a reader email! Hurray! She writes...

Dear D&D, I want to wear african prints in a dress or skirt but don't want to look too frumpy. Can you blog about them? xo, avid reader

But of course, ma cherie! Here's some non-frumpy options within the D&D price specifications!

I'd love to wear this top with shorts, skinny jeans or maybe a striped skirt?



This skirt would be a great option with a basic racerback tank.



I love this print for summer. If you're top heavy, wear a white tank under the dress.


A really great, cheap option - and I love the little ruffles at the neck.

Hats Off To You.

The Capricious Traveler has THE best selection of vintage hats. I want a wall of hats in my bedroom one day and this is the place to check out if you are in need of great headwear.





Oh and this? I am trying to talk myself out of buying a toucan vest. It isn't working well though.

Band Me Up Scotty!

I heart ban.do. I think I'm going to splurge and buy this one.



It's too good to pass up. I think I can wear this to some of my summer weddings. Thoughts?

GustBuster.

It's raining a gale outside and I walk to work. Bad weather tends to dampen my mood in the morning (literally and figuratively) but last night I dug out an umbrella from my closet to prepare. This umbrella is my new best friend. The GustBuster!



It's not the prettiest parasol on the planet but it didn't flip inside out or make me struggle in the least bit. I am pleased. I might even leave my desk for lunch today because of it!

Branch.

Everytime I check out what's new over at Branch Home, I'm positively delighted. It is my go-to place for fabulous gifts.
