celebrate / thankful

today I am thankful for (in no particular order)...

my family

my wonderful boyfriend

my friends near and far

my friends of friends who are nice enough to include me in tonight's dinner

my health 

the job I love with coworkers who make me laugh every day

the opportunity to go to bed safe and warm every night

and to all of you who read this little blog

I love naked cakes (mostly because the icing to cake ratio is ideal in my opinion) and this almost naked cake with fall floral touches is just perfect!!

I have admired Blair Eadie's style for years now and I love love love this color combo! I'm not usually gutsy enough for this much color on color, but I have a chartreuse sweater and cobalt flats which are perfect with black pants for work. I would also love to see a most neutral interior with punches of cobalt and citron or chartreuse. What color combinations inspire you lately?
