Happy Tuesday Y'all!
Summer is in full swing and I really couldn't love it more! A few weeks ago we were in Antigua (I'll write a whole post about that later - it was AMAZING!) and I got so many comments and questions about my new swimsuit so I thought I would link it up here for you. Also... I found the ENTIRE collection from this bathing suit and it is SO GOOD...there's even a romper & additional color-ways! There are all types of styles and fits but I suggest sizing up at least one size.

Cheers to a fun wardrobe update for spring! Thanks for reading y'all!! XX-Molly I always love having a vase of fresh flowers in the house! Who's with me? ? Today I am going to share how to use herbs in your flower arrangements. Herbs add that little something extra and provide a light fragrance without being too powerful. These arrangements would be perfect for a bridal shower, a dinner party, or "just because"!
One of the best tricks I ever learned from my dear friend Teresa was to mix Sprite in with the water for your flower arrangements. Apparently, the sugar in the Sprite helps feed the flowers and keep them alive longer! Try it...I promise it works!! Now on to the pretty part...   In this arrangement, I substituted parsley for traditional greenery. The combination of the light pink and white ranunculus with the hyacinth give this arrangement a soft, airy feeling. This would be perfect for brunch with your girlfriends, a bridal shower for your bestie, or a great gift for your mom on Mother's Day!    This arrangement is the perfect centerpiece for a dining a room table, entry way, or cocktail table. Here I used sage, which adds an unexpected texture and fragrance. I love the combination of green hydrangeas, deep purple ranunculus, purple and white carnations, a few pink hyacinths, and the whispy element of the Silver Dollar Eucalyptus.   And last but not least... tulips, Gerber daisies, ranunculus, and MINT! One of my all time favorite herbs is mint--the color, the aroma--I just love everything about it! Adding sprigs to brightly colored flowers really makes the greenery pop. Before placing on your table, rub the mint leaves to activate their oils which will release their scent. This is perfect for spring and summer garden parties!
Knowing where to buy flowers can be a tricky thing, especially if you need enough for more than just one arrangement. Price, selection, and quality are the major factors I consider. Here is a list of my favorite places to purchase these pretty petals: -Trader Joe's : they always have a wide selection and the prices are AMAZING!! -Whole Foods: While they are probably the most expensive, they usually have unique items not found at other places. -Publix (or any local grocery store) : This is probably the most reasonable in price especially if you shop in their "3 for 12 section." They usually always have spray roses and hydrangeas. In the past, mine have lasted up to 2 full weeks! -Sams Club or Costco: Membership clubs often times have large quantities of blooms available but not always the largest selection of varieties. In my experience they tend to be fresh and last a long time. Thanks for reading y'all! Comment below and let me know which herb is your favorite to use and where you like to buy your blooms! Cheers to fun florals and spring weather! XX-Molly 3/15/2017 0 Comments MM Look Book: Cold Winter WearsThis spike of frigid winter air has me pulling out all of my winter clothes... all over again!

Sure it was functional enough, but "pretty" or "cute" it sure wasn't. So, one day it just hit me what to do with the space. Check it out...             So how did I get all of this for just $50? For starters, I switched some things around from other parts of the house,
and I pulled some items out of storage! It's really that easy. I started by switching the shower curtain with the one in our guest bathroom. This blue one looked much better in our bathroom and played off the blue we already had in our bedroom. (Check out our current master bedroom look here.) Then I switched out the decorative towels with these fun, bright-colored ones we received as a wedding shower gift. Next I gathered up some prints and odds and ends that I had in the closet and hadn't yet given a home, and I painted the canvas myself to add a pop of color! The only things I purchased for this update were a few frames for the prints I already had and the two framed prints over the toilet. I added the basket in the corner, which I just took out of our closet, to make accessing the dirty clothes hamper easier, and we already had the gingham rug . We had received the glass canisters as a wedding gift, so I filled those with everyday use items, such as hair brushes, hair clips, Q-tips, cotton balls, & hair rollers! Most of my hair products are from The Dry Bar; I have a total obsession with them, and the cute yellow colors tied in perfectly! Now our bathroom has that "cute, " relaxing factor I was wishing for. It totally feels like a fun spa space, and I love starting my day in it each morning! Don't be afraid to switch things from room to room for an easy refresh and update to any room! You can shop my complete look below to recreate this look in your own home! Shop the look: -Shower Curtain -Bath mat -Towels -Glass Canisters -Figure Sketches P.S. - HomeGoods is a great source for frames and gallery wall items! Thanks for reading! Cheers to creating your own in-home spa space! XX-Molly If you have ever gone through the process of house hunting... God bless you! Conner and I have started the house-hunting process, which is super fun and exhausting all at the same time! Basically, once I realized that I couldn't afford anything that I actually wanted (in the prized Charlotte neighborhoods of Myers Park & Dilworth where every home is magazine worthy!)the search process became a little easier. So...today I thought I would share some eye candy for my dream home inspiration! I have realized that many of these styles and elements can be incorporated into our first home, whatever and wherever it may be, and that I can take this time now to plan my future dream home to a "T"! Take a peek...I hope you find inspiration in these images, too!     
      
Stay tuned to see what we actually end up with!!! Thanks for reading! XX-Molly Valentine's Day is often seen as a "Hallmark Holiday," but I think any reason to wear all pink and red, share time with loved ones, and buy pretty flowers is a good holiday!! Check out what I wore and how we celebrated this year!       Shop my look here: One Shoulder Ruffle Top Jeans - My absolute favorites! Jacket - similar & ON SALE! Nude Pumps Bag Earrings - similar  This year Conner and I decided to keep it casual. We really aren't much for fancy, small-portioned food, and pre-fixed menus; so we decided to head to our favorite local Charlotte brewery, Sycamore! They hosted a seated dinner in conjunction with our favorite food truck, Papi Queso. It was a 4-course meal with beer and wine pairings, and it was absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! The atmosphere was fun and relaxed, and the food was as gourmet as it gets! Check it out...    Image courtesy of Charlotte Agenda    Image courtesy of Papi Queso  Image courtesy of Papi Queso
