Seeing Lilly in a Whole New Light.

Whether you love it or hate it, everyone seems to have an opinion of Lilly Pulitzer’s Palm Beach prints.  After receiving their new spring catalog, I am seeing Lily in a whole new light.  Not that the label has given up on the bright colors and bold patterns that have made them famous– just added some more sophisticated textures and lines that quite frankly, I am loving.. particularly their “Lilly Whites.”

Check out some of these digs from the Spring catalog:

Here are some more items that I am loving:

1. Eryn Dress– $298
2. Set in Stone Wedge– $268
3. Murfee Scarf Dip Dye– $98
4. Wynne Top– $68
5. Chrysoprase Charm Necklace– $550
6. Ric Rac Bangle Set– $58
7. Glam Obi Belt– $38
8. Resort Chic Wedge– $198
9. Kiki Dress-$238  (Do I need to say more???)

Kiki’s List: What I’m Loving For Spring.

Hello friends!  While I missed you all during our vacation, I was enjoying reading up on what my blogging friends are loving for Spring– thanks again ladies!
So, here’s what I am loving for spring–all things colorful; pink (big surprise there) orange, a mixture of the two (coral), trouser jeans, anything boho, wedges and lots of gold jewelry (although that seems to be a staple for me every season.)  As you may remember from last summer, Geodes are a favorite of mine.  I must give props to Lindsay of The Pursuit of Style to turning me onto this cuff.  I ordered this baby before my trip and was so elated to come home to her.  What a gorgeous piece for $60!

A Good Read.

There is nothing I love more than snuggling up with my girls and reading a good book.  Each night they get to pick two books before going to bed.  This is my special time with each of them; a time to unwind, connect and best of all- schnoog (our word for snuggling.)  This is so important because not only does it develop a love for reading at an early age, but it breaks the cycle of our crazy day.  Now that E is a little older , books are the segue to our nightly “pillow talk” where I really get to see what’s going on in that little noggin.  Sadly, during the week, this is the only one-on-one time that we get.
So I thought I’d share with all of you some Salmon family favorites; past and present.  Each of these hold a special meaning in my heart. Here are the children’s books that made it onto Kiki’s List:

1. You’re My Little Love Bug– $9.35
