Viva La Summer.

I am an Aquarius, so by nature, a water lover. Growing up, I spent most of my summers in Bethany Beach, Delaware. The sound of the ocean brings me peace. Looking around our house you will see elements of the sea in nearly every room.

Each of the girls have their own seashell collection that we have gathered on trips.

I have a big clam shell in my kitchen for storing sponges, brushes, etc.

See those sea urchins below?

I also have a few pieces of coral laying around.

These are only a few of the elements (the only ones that I had pictures of) but I think you get the point. You don’t have to have a beach house to bring elements of the sea into your home. Go out and get yourself some seaside chic pieces to make your summer last forever.

The Grand Daddy Hotel.

The Grand Daddy Hotel in Cape Town, South Africa is certainly making it’s mark on the hotel industry. This swanky yet playful hotel has put a new twist on the old trailer park. The Daddy is famous for it’s Airstream Rooftop Trailer Park. It’s seriously amazing.

Let’s take a looksie at the interiors, shall we? Each Airstream was custom designed by local artists.

I want to go there, now.

Zad is Rad.

For many of you that have been following Kiki’s List from the beginning, you may remember my original headshot. (A sorry excuse for a picture.) I had Mike take it on a random Saturday (notice the lack of a bra, hot pink nail polish, and little Lou in the corner.) Last Summer, I received many emails as to where I bought the statement necklace that I am wearing in this picture.

You can get a better look in these pictures:

This was another great South Moon Under find. I loved it so much, I bought a turquoise one for my bestie, MJ for her birthday. Unfortunately, it was no longer available at SMU, but (one year later) I was able to finally hunt it down and redeem myself. So here you are ladies… THE NECKLACE and it’s available in both coral and turquoise!

What’s better than that? In my quest to find this piece, I came across some more amazing pieces by this company. Check out what Zad has to offer at super-affordable prices:

ABC’s.

Hanging wall letters are seen in virtually every nursery out there. There is something so exciting about boasting your child’s very existence. I had both of my girls names on the wall in the nursery before either of them were born. There is a fine line between stylish and gaudy when displaying your child’s name. There are so many fonts and patterns out there that are just too “cutesy” for my taste.

Here are some that I absolutely loved:
