And they were all yellow!!

Yellow is the color evoked by light that stimulates both the L and M (long and medium wavelength) cone cells of the retina about equally.


There are some colors that, upon seeing, stimulate something in your brain that makes you feel wonderful - hence your favorite color. When I was young, I think that color was pink (I know....how cliche) - I am not sure why but it just made me feel good. Yellow on the other hand, has always been one of those colors that has never really inspired me. But lately, I have been finding myself so into yellow! I am not sure if I would call it my favorite color, but I am quite enjoying it for the moment!!


Here are some images of yellow that I am loving!! Doesn't she look fabulous in this perfect yellow cardigan (love the buttons in the back) and this Proenza Leather Satchel is to die for!! Plus, I love the sunshine inspired painting!!! What colors are inspiring you?? Do you have a favorite color??

Alex Monroe

We have met so many wonderful people in St. John's since we have moved here. One of our friends, who is from England has been so happy because his girlfriend is here visiting and we were fortunate enough to hang out with her. Not only was she dressed amazingly but she had the most beautiful jewelry I have ever seen. Upon asking here where she got it from, she told me it was Alex Monroe, an English Designer and I was instantly in love. The collection is so whimsical as it entails everything from beautiful birds and bees to enchanted little watering cans!! Make sure to check it out!! I know that I have just started my savings account to one of these beauties!!

These rings are from the Eyebright Collection and are only just a glimpse of what the collection has to offer!!  I love the aquamarine one in the middle!!

And of course, since I  spend my summer working with bees, I am absolutely smitten with this little bee necklace!! I would love, love love to have one!!

Love,

Annabelle at Etsy

For the past few years I have gotten into a habit of falling in love with a specific chain and pendant and as a result I end up wearing it everyday. I usually become attached to it  and wear it until it breaks or I lose it. Well, this dilemma has recently come upon me as I lost my favorite Pyrrah pendant while I was out for my morning run and I have been missing it so. I have been trying to decide if I should buy another Pyrrah or just buy a different necklace all together. 


Nevertheless, I have been searching the web for a replacement peice and I came up with these lovely pieces at BrideBlu on etsy!! They are Aren't they pretty??

Adeline Adeline Bicycles

I am sure that by now, most of my readers have figured out that I have a love for beautiful bikes. I came across another great line of bikes called Adeline Adeline which, as their slogan suggests, "is a very nice bike shop." I can just picture myself riding down the streets of Paris on this bike - maybe one day!!

Save the Turtles!

Six of the seven seas turtles in the world are from Mexico and most are  endangered. While the sea turtles spend most of their lives in the sea, they are born on the beach. The mothers can lay their eggs in the same spot as they were born and they can lay up to 200 eggs in each nest which need to be incubated for a period of 45 to 52 days. 

Due to many of the Mexican beaches becoming populated with people, the turtle nests are being destroyed and the baby turtles are not surviving. There are now some initiatives put in place to guard the nests for incubation period and make sure that they get back safely to the water. 

The beach that we were staying on had tons of turtle nests and there were people watching the nests making sure that the baby turtles would get back to the ocean safely. They let me pick one up which was pretty exciting. I hope these turtles make it!!

Aren't they cute???

You can check out HEART for more information on how to help the turtles.

P.S.- Happy St.Patrick's Day. Don't forget to wear something green!!

Beautiful Blue Boats

I thought you might enjoy this photo I took at the beach in a little fishing village. I love the colors in the photo, so bright and brilliant that you can't help but smile. If some day I ever have a house I think I will decorate a room around this photo!!
