Coastal Living {March}


I am super excited about this months Coastal Living review. The March issue is AMAZING! The kind of amazing that even when March is over it will sit out instead of being filed away with the rest. There were so many beautiful features that it was hard to choose which one I would feature, but I chose the one that featured a home that has 6 little ones.








Absolutely stunning, am I right? They also feature one of the girls rooms in the magazine that is breathtaking. It really is such a dream.

Oh, and did I mention Erika from Urban Grace has a 6 page spread on her kitchen designs. I could not be anymore excited for her!

Also Bobbi Brown shares what's inside her L.L. bean beach bag. Her list makes me think she and I were separated at birth. Except change her havaianas to rainbows and we are in business.

Really this is a must have issue. I can't get enough of it!

*and as always I do not get paid by Coastal Living to write a monthly review, I do it because I love this magazine and they asked if I would be interested in doing so. Nothing more than that.

Coastal Living {February}


It's that time again for my Coastal Living review. The cover had me at hello with the bright pink umbrella. I honestly haven't been able to put this issue down due to this villa in Round Hill, Jamaica. The design was done by Meg Braff.






I think it is time for a luxury vacation, any one else in? To see more images of this great villa go here.
My husband has also has mentioned going on a cruise once or twice and they have a great write up in the magazine that caters to your style and what cruise would fit you best. Maybe one day, well that's if I can get over my fear of water, yikes.

For Sale










I love to browse real estate especially real estate that I can not afford, maybe it's the dreamer in me. Anyway I came across this home in Rosemary Beach real estate. It is owned by the woman of South of the Market and it was featured in Coastal Living some time last year. I love getting to see more of this gorgeous beach home and if any of you have an extra 5 million lying around then yes I would love to visit anytime. Oh, and it does come furnished which makes me giddy.

I know, I know, I said I would not be back till next week, but the nausea has subsided and I can't sleep so what better to do than blog at 1 in the morning? Anyhoo, with so many of my favorite magazines saying good bye it was an honor to be asked by one of my faves to review for Coastal Living magazine every month. The coast is where I dream to live, but until then I can dream through this mag on a monthly basis. Besides always having tons of yummy eye candy, they do encompass much more. Fashion, food, decor, lifestyle, and travel are always throughout. The December/January issue rings in the holiday season with so many goodies, one of my faves would have to be the gift guide. I am always on the hunt for the perfect gift and these would do quite nicely...


How about stripey straws for the one who loves to entertain.


A custom surfboard for the major sports enthusiast.


You can never go wrong with a candle in my book.


For the fashion maven. Isn't she a beauty? Aah, now onto something so very delightful...


With all the holiday parties coming up they have a seafood lovers appetizer list that makes my mouth water. I personally would love this hot crab and shrimp dip right about now. Did I happen to mention my appetite is back too?

I really could go on and on, I do love to dissect a magazine piece by piece. Something about holding the glossy pages makes me giddy at the beginning of every month. Oh that is what I like to do, but I shall sustain and hopefully get some sleep tonight. Have a lovely weekend.
