Spotted at Target this weekend for under $3. While perusing all the nail polish colors I discovered these Hard as Nails polish's in a variety of colors. I found a couple colors I really liked so I decided to try them out. I can not believe how thick the coat is and so far no chips {although I do use both a base & top coat}. Check out your local Target.

I can already imagine this gorgeous quilt sprawled across my bed or draped over my couch. The flower like doilies are feminine yet simple. Although I am part Dutch I do not read or speak so sadly I do not know more about this item.

Hello Kitty {theme park}



{i believe these images were shot at the Joyland in Japan, 3rd image looks like it was for a beuaty collab, but I am not certain}

A Hello Kitty Theme Park in China {Anji, Zhejiang Province}! This is just too good to pass up, I needed to share! I can only imagine how cute this place will be, not only the decor, landscaping, rides, employee outfits, food but also all the people who will come decked out in their favorite Hello Kitty collaboration gear! I would LOVE to visit! Projected to open in 2014 it will be the first international Hello Kitty Theme Park {see article here}.  My first favorite Sanrio character was My Melody followed by My Little Twin Stars. Who is your favorite?

{source of photos unkown. please email me if you know the correct source. thank you.}

Working on a new project out our lovely little abode. Trying to decide on window treatments for our sliding door/window. I am thinking dark bamboo type roller shades with some type of two-toned curtain. Any suggestions? Does anyone know someone in Orange County that can do custom curtains?

Just started working on a new project for our home. I have been searching for rugs {online}, thinking this is the one I am going to choose. Although I do really like a shade of grey instead of black. Do you own a great rug? Where did you find it?
