Daily Covet: White Lace Shift & an Anniversary Date

A creamy white lace shift is the perfect way to celebrate an anniversary, if you ask me.  It calls to mind the cream-colored Sophia dress I wore for my wedding on the beach 8 years ago, but it’s much more manageable in length.

And a lace shift is much more likely to be worn again sometime soon too.

If you’ve read this blog once, you’ll know that I adore the shift shape (anything to make these short legs look longer!)  And I’m pretty fond of cotton lace too.  So it’s only natural that I’d be coveting this dress for a special night out with my best guy!

Daily Covet: Rug for Inspiration

I keep threatening to redecorate my sunroom, which also doubles as my children’s tv/play room.  Everything in there was pulled from somewhere else, or originally intended for something else… like my husband’s beautiful, but way to big for the space, desk.

This morning, I found this amazing deal of a rug on Haute Look, and again it has me thinking about color schemes and redecorating.  I know I want a beach-y feel in there, and plan to paint the walls pale blue but from there, I haven’t made any significant decisions.  This rug though, makes me think light blue, navy and orange for the sunroom….
