Destin Bound

Life has been super busy lately and a much needed vacay is in store. I'm Destin bound on Friday afternoon for a full week of rest, relaxation, and fun! I've never been to the Florida panhandle before and cannot wait to experience the clear blue. Sunshine, good reads, and afternoon drinks anyone? yes, please. So for all of you bloggers, have any of you ever been to Destin? Any good tips on restaurants, bars, things to do? Please share! 

Just a few of my beach essentials...

Seaside Style Sale

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Today Rue La La is having a sale on some seriously cute seaside-esq throw pillows. Wouldn't these be so cute on turquoise slipcovered furniture in a seaside cottage? Or just to add some sea loving accents to your home. I'm loving the orange turtle and trellis print pillows.

Coral Inspired Dining Room

I'm totally swooning over this coastal inspired dining room. The color palette is almost exact to my bedroom colors. Loving those coral covered chairs and the light aqua curtain panels. And isn't that sea coral chandelier to die for? I picture many long dinner parties centered around this table, with hours full of laughter and chatter. love.love.love.

Sea-Life Swoons

I recently discovered Thomas Paul and all of his sea-life inspired goodies. Pillows and stationary and fabric and totes and melamine...oh my! I'm in l.o.v.e with his coral inspired coasters.  Some other swoon-worthy Paul picks...
