... and a Little Lilly for My Coffee

Well, I do love my coffee.  So when it isn't coming from Starbucks or a little coffee place, it really deserves a cute cup, don't you think?  I love coffee cups and travel mugs and am seriously trying not to start a sizeable collection - but I didn't have any Lilly at all for my coffee... Preppy Princess to the rescue!

Just look at this packaging!  I mean, this was just a small order and the attention to detail is impressive (my little girls thought someone had sent them gifts).  More pink and green - I can't stand it! :)

And my new Mumsie Latte Da! mug and Trouble Hibiscus thermal mug (my coffee is going to taste even better in these, of course):

And, you know what, I have a feeling some happy little Polly Pockets may be hanging out in this crazy cute "Cabana" mug box soon...

Happy Friday!

My Favorite Thing from Nordstrom's August Catalog

I know many are ruffled-out at this point, and personally I do doubt I'll be getting any more ruffly blouses for Fall (Frances is excepted, of course).  But the second I saw this jacket = love, love love!  And then I scanned over to the description and saw that this little lovely is only $68!  Whoa.  Now I don't have anything from the brand Nick & Mo and am not familiar with it, so I do need to see it in person... but from the pic it looks like such a perfect dress-up/dress down little jacket that I soooo want to add it to my Fall wardrobe!

from page 31 - Nick & Mo knit blazer with chiffon ruffles in Wine #261302 - $68.00

Okay, that was my favorite thing, but as long as we're looking at jackets - and since it is a cool 74 degrees in my house right now, down nearly 20 degrees from last week, I like this one too (shown over a turtleneck in the 2nd pic):

Kids Sleeping + Hubs @ Work = Quiet House + Online Shopping. Good Morning!

Wearing my (lovely) gray & orange MBTs today to counteract all that tortellini last night!

The New Louis Vuitton Sistina {+ more}

So I get a tweet yesterday that Louis Vuitton's Sistina is available online and in all stores now.  I love the shape and hardware on this bag!  I do love the Damier print with that gorgeous red lining, and already have a Speedy in it - but this is sooooo different!  The tweet got me perusing the LV website and, while a Keepall was already on my wishlist, I may have added a couple more:

The ever-classic Alma - in Rose Pop Vernis or Bleu Nuit Vernis - either would be fine!

The Totally in Damier Azur - I love that this has a top zip.  Would be a great summer tote!

And of course the classic Keep-All!

Alright, time to leave DreamLand!  I'm saving up my money for a couple upcoming trips where I know there will be shopping involved!  Anyone else have a handbag wishlist they're working on?!

Happy Wednesday!

A Splash of Pink on My Front Porch

This is just the cutest little mailer bag I have ever seen:

Love, love, love the dress:

And - not just that - but look! Our first Mom & Minnie matchies. I had ordered these for the girls from Saks and was thrilled when I found a Coronado Crab print dress for myself at Splash of Pink!

Sun & Sand

No, I'm not lounging at the beach, but today I've been reminded of gorgeous days spent in the surf.

I'd never bought Yankee Candles before, but I was in Hallmark and saw a wall of them, and just couldn't resist Sun & Sand and Beach Walk. Yankee describes S&S as "sweet orange flower, lemony citrus, fresh lavender, and powdery musk"... to me it just smells like Florida! And suntan lotion. Beach Walk is salt water and citrus. A perfect combo.
