Spring Inspiration!

I'm going on a little vacation at the end of the month to see one of my best friends in New York City. Kelly moved to Manhattan a little under a year ago and this will be my second trip to see her and fourth time in the city. I've been trolling the malls to find clothes for this time of year and have had no luck. I've been really stingy with my paycheck and tax return this year thinking I'm going to find something amazeballs but I think I'm past the point of knowing what I want to spend it on.

Some fun options...................

1996 KI by Jeffrey Campbell $195

Judy Dress by Dolce Vita $120

Casio Watch $45

On another note, I'm planning to do a little DIY project in my backyard. I have a small fenced in area that separates my little patio from the rest of my ginormous backyard that I've been dying to fix up for patio sitting during the summer.

::PLANS SO FAR::

Line the short wooden fence with corrugated metal

Purchase a cute outdoor rug like this one from Pottery Barn

Mount a few window boxes with mostly greens AND somehow re-create these AMAZING Hanging Test Tube Vases by Branch

I'm also obsessed with this idea. It's the Wally modular living wall system
They're basically pockets of greenery that allow for the plants to breathe and grow normally and can hang anywhere! And SO cute!!

AND something like this from the A+R Store

I will definitely be moving my chiminea that's been waiting to be used from the front porch and find some comfy, not-too-expensive eco modern rattan lounging furniture.
