Inspired by Fire

Part {tre} of my "Inspired by Nature" series of Posts, I decided to let the seriously warm temperatures that never cease to stop rising, be my inspiration.  What is it about Fire {and the color RED, more appropriately} that is so captivating?  Is it because it symbolizes Heat? Power?  Passion? Aggression? Love?

Let me stop here, because as I was thinking about the color Red, I thought to myself "isn't it crazy that a color can symbolize both aggression and love at the same time, so well?".  Honestly, I can't think of another color that symbolizes such vastly different emotions. I mean Yellow doesn't symbolize both happy and sad.  Anyway, sorry for the tangent...just a little randomness (can't escape the habitual sporadic-ness).

Back to Red...I love Red.  It is so bold and beautiful, and I have to admit (sometimes I ponder dyeing my hair Red).  Thank you mother nature for letting us gaze at your blazing Red-rock canyons, your burnt Orange sunsets, and your vibrant Red flower fields...it is amazing, and makes me love the color Red even more (if that is even possible). Happy Wednesday dolls! XoX

Salivating.

This is why I want to dye my hair Red.  Genius girl.

Yum.

The hippie in me.  I love this.

Classic.

Love this dresser.

Gorgeous.

Aren't you lovely and fun.

"Welcome"... don't mind if I do.

So Fabulous.

I. Love. This. Dress.

Well hello there, the most beautiful wall I ever did see.

Every girl needs a pair of Red Boots.  I need {want} some Red Hunters (and blue and pink ones).

Platinum + Red Lips = brilliant.

Loving Right Now

Here is another list of awesome, fabulous, lovely, and brilliant things I am loving at the moment!

P.S.  It's Friday (I know, Captain obvious here) but...I LOVE FRIDAY!  Hope your Friday and weekend are nothing short of fabulous.

Loving Right Now:

* These adorable plates, that I know my kids would love to nosh upon.

* This Counter top cleaner that makes my kitchen squeaky clean without chemicals and makes it smell like a garden in the process. I think I may even like it better than the method cleaner I wrote about here.

* This DIY tent project.

* Izzie Sparkling soda.  My favorite is the sparkling Clementine.

* This awesome new take on photo booth props.

* This turns me into a bronzed beauty (even when I am painfully pale).

* How great is this vintage ride-on for kids. The Silver one is so fabulous.

* I love little boys in fedoras.  I have to get this....Protects them from the sun and still so stylish.

* I need a one piece swimsuit this year. I have always been a bikini wearing girl, but after two kids....well, like I said, I need a one piece this year.  This one actually got me excited about taking a dip in the pool.

* These Pink beauties are just smashing.

* This is one of my new favorite websites (since I love all things food and cooking).

* I just got this vase for my house.  I am in love with it (wish they still had the yellow one).

P.P.S.  Next week I will be having another giveaway AND an awesome bench and end table transformation...stay tuned. Oh, and remember that entryway I have been talking about (for like ever...what a slacker), that might sneak in next week too. XoX
