Shopping for Sport; and the color PINK in the NFL.
The NFL Season that almost wasn't! Now that the NFL Lockout is behind us...all the men in America (and some women) can resume their lives knowing that Sundays and Mondays will be better. Beer sales in America will thrive, and everyone can fire up their wits for the standard inter-office Fantasy Football Banter. Since I am the only female this years Fantasy Football league I wanted to pay homage to all the females out there that genuinely love their sports...and not just for their men; but for themselves! As a late bloomer, I embraced sports, the mud, bruises, and rollerblades. In the 5th grade I became especially enamored with the 1994 hit movie "Little Giants"...enter; ICEBOX. Becky O'Neal aka ICEBOX was a rockstar tomboy and she did her thing. Rough around the edges, wanted to keep up with the boys- she was the 'IT' girl of my youth. There are so many young ladies that can relate to this. So with the buzz of the NFL lockout at bay, and Fantasy leagues gearing up- I circle back to what made me start this post to begin with; my Yahoo team name "ICEBOX"! To all the Tomboy girls out there, this is for you. Pictured below, fun youth bedrooms, and a touch of pink for the NFL...and the kicker...Icebox grew up just fine! ;)

Also stay tuned for the NFL in October where the players, coaches and officials all wear pink to support Breast Cancer Awareness month. MLB does too. Lots of love to my mother and all of the BC survivors out there.

Flag-worthy, Star-Studded, Patriotic Pad's for the 4th of July.
Flag-worthy, Star-Studded, Patriotic Pad's for the 4th of July.
A Pyrotechnic paradise?
With the official start to my favorite holiday underway, I wanted to take a minute to highlight all things patriotic for the 4th of July. The 4th has been my favorite holiday since I was young. Granted Christmas and Thanksgiving were a close second-- since I love mostly anything centered around food....but yes, 4th of July. As an East Coast-Jersey Girl-- with July, the weather is hot, the beaches are packed, the ocean temp is swimmable, the BBQ's are ablaze, and people are generally in great spirits; around spirits (and beer). Memorial Day is the launch of summer, but a tease in weather, and Labor Day is depressing since it's the endcap to summer; SO-- the 4th is the Perfect mid-point to summer to make you realize, that you only have two months left to do all the fun things that remain, or actually finish working on your summer fitness goals for the second leg of summer swimwear.
With family, friends and fireworks all welded around this extended weekend, I wanted to share some ideas for how to spark up your home with Red, White and Blues and also link some patriotic perches. These may be a little campy, country, or farmhousey for some-- but one thing that will never go out of style is the Americana style. With Red, White and Blue-- you cannot go wrong...These Colors Don't Bleed! Take Pride!
So drill and infuse those watermelons, chill the Jell-O, light the fires, kick the tires, but please do not send any at-home fireworks into the sky; leave that up to the pros! Saftey first! For the best fireworks check out any city harbor, waterfront, your township website, or the famed Macy's 'works. OR-- look upward wherever you are...because somebody, somewhere, is going to be skyrocketing and firing their home collection into the night air, and potentially causing trouble! Also, use taxis! The End.
Love,
Mom.

Peacock, Stripes and Summer Dreams!
Brought to you by the letter 'F'.
Well--I can't believe July is almost here. But it is. Soon we will be in our Festive Fourth attire, flagging our family and friends for finishing the sangria and actin' a fool. And after all of the alliteration there is just one more 'F'...feathers! If you take a look back to my bridal shower post, you will see I fancy feathers; peacock to be exact. I plot and hope to place these fine plumes as often as possible. I like the peacock as much as I love the aqua color family (also see prior posts). Just because I like, repetition, (and alliteration); doesn't mean that I lack creativity, but rather that it is familiar, soothes me, and I like to put my signature mark on it. Same with the hydrangeas and peonies. Elle Kay will position favored florals around until you think that Blair Waldorf might have been parading around in there.
But fear not- my jam packed board is a snippet of my ideas, and a snapshot of the things I love and find refreshing for summer! Pinks, yellows, whites and blues. Stripes, patterns, prints- bold hues. I adore the Crane & Co. and Kate Spade note-cards-- perfect for sending post to that lovely couple that had you over for supper. Perfectly picked paper and handwritten notes are the new texts and e-mails. For some things, the sentiment of a hand-written note can make all the difference. So I encourage you to channel your inner pen-pal, and school cursive/penmanship, and get those hands and minds ready! You never know when you'll need to drop a cute note in the mail. And stamps fun and festive as well. You can check out Zazzle.com if you are looking to personalize stamps for a special occasion or just because.
On the idea that color is queen, be it drapes, throw pillows or an amazing party dress- with July just around the corner; you better make a splash. My theory: embrace anything that has the juice to make a statement for summer. Live it up! "Life has a way of flying by faster than any old Summer Vacation!"
