must-have finds

Monday, April 9, 2012

we are back after a short break from the easter holiday and we are starting the week with some fun shopping finds!

the past few days was just kind of lazy - hanging out with family, eating out, driving around and enjoying the beautiful landscapes the spring brought these days. when we were not doing that, i found myself perusing the net or checking out favorite blogs in between. it's fun to see how everyone was celebrating the holidays and i was able to stumble upon new favorite finds i am loving and i can't wait to share with you.......



if you have a nearby drugstore by you, do check out kate moss for rimmel lip collection. you'll be hooked!
i love the 7 exclusive subtle shades - matte for day and add a dash of lipgloss for a sophisticated evening look!  

i discovered this vegan-friendly nailpolish ombre 5-set and i am dead set on trying them on. if you love the trendy ombre look for your nails without too much work hunting for the perfect shades, this nailpolish set is for you! 




the perfect lightweight blanket for summer. ideal for the porch, seaside, bed or out for a picnic - this also doubles as a towel and can be monogrammed!   


organizing my son's endless toys and books is a never ending task and it seems that the bins and buckets we have are not enough. these collapsible containers not only serves multipurposes but are equally beautiful as well! 


lastly, i am obsessing over this cool tote by anya hindmarch. the screenprinted beachside essentials as a bag design is so whimsy and cute that this bag is so perfect for a quick beach getaway!

i hope everyone had a special easter break celebration!
