As I promised you last week, here are my second round of photos from my birthday! I could'n help myself and I uploaded a tone of photos because it was one of my favorite photo shoot:)) That was a wonderful day spent just with Bogdan at the lake, where we enjoyed tiramisu cake, vanilla cupcake, balloons and  bubbles :) As about the outfit, I made this skirt specially for this day and I was wearing my  cardigan backwards(not my idea- but totally love it) and converse!
 Fun! fun! fun !!!!!

   Hello lovelies !
 Today's post is a mix of my new Chloe pair of sunglasses, received from Sunglassesshop.com, and this Elizabeth and James trousers from Bib +Tuck Forward Fashion Project -two items that I totally adore at this moment.
 The sunglasses have the shape that I regularly like to wear. You can find also many great styles on them website here .
 I think the pants don't need any presentation!!! I felt in love with them as soon as I saw them styled by the other bloggers in the project. But when I have had them in my hands, they were pure delight! Soft material, gorgeous print, beautiful mix of colors= l o v e! I chose to wear them with a pop of orange and my fuzzy hat that I don't have the chance to wear too often.
I hope you like it !

Let's talk about your bed.

Now don't blush. I know we haven't known each other that long. But I'm interested.

Are you a white bed person?

Or do you like a little color while you sleep?

In pictures, I always seem to be drawn to a crisp, white fluffy bed.

So which do you prefer? All white? Color and pattern? Or maybe a mix of both?

Here is a simple, light outfit with my new mint moccasins shoes received recently from Lebunnybleu.com . Just in time for Spring season and, like everybody else, I love to wear pastels, especially mint color. For more models and colors check this website here .
 I was wearing my husband's Zara sweater with my Mango jeans and a vintage yellow bag, while passing through the mall.
Today, it's officially the beginning of Spring !!!

As you all know I've been dragging my flip flops about a paint color for our bedroom for several weeks. And I know what you are thinking - OMG girl, its paint. What's the hold up? Just pick a color already.

Well, one of the reasons it took me so long to pick a color is that I haven't really wanted paint at all. My first choice would be grass cloth. Not only do I love it's texture and color(s)

but I love the warmth it gives. And a bedroom, I think, deserves an extra layer of warmth. There is no room that should give you a bigger hug than your bedroom.

My husband/wallpaper hanging partner however, was not hip to the idea. In fact, there was a lot of "no way in hell dude." (dude is a term of endearment. yes it is.)

My budget was also saying, "no way in hell dude".

I know when to take a hint, so I took my lemons and made some lemonade. Or my grass and made some...lol. I'll stop there.

So paint it is. I pulled as many paint chips as I could and laid them out to start narrowing them down. I was starting to go cross-eyed when I (luckily) remembered a post Camila had written about a similar situation several months back. She landed on the color Desert Tan, by Benjamin Moore. I went thru my Benjamin Moore stack and there she was - my little Desert Tan.

Just the right kind of hug. A 'its great to see you old friend' kind of hug. Not a 'lingering, weird guy in a bar' hug. And I've got lots of blue, Morning Star by Pratt & Lambert left over from painting the ceiling in the girls room. So I'll use the rest of that on our ceiling as well.

Picked. Decided. Ready for action. I've already started patching the holes. I can now cross 'make progress on bedroom' off my list. What? Like you don't write evasive things on your list so you can have something to cross off?

The girls are lucky. If they were a few years older this would be a "let's help mom paint her bedroom" spring break. How early can you start child labor? I'll try to get a first coat on in between trips to the zoo, planting gardens and general merriment.

What do you have planned this week? Any big projects? Small projects? Fake projects that you put on the list just so you have something to cross off?
