a cheery cherry morning....

I recently discovered the best way to brighten my mornings: Michigan Cherry Coffee from Meijer.

You can select and grind your own beans right in the store. I cut it with one scoop of Maxwell House Breakfast Blend so it's not too sweet. But mix it with some Coffee-mate Natural Bliss Vanilla and it's like cherry pie with whip cream with a kick!

It's the way I start every morning and it brings a smile to my face! I hope you have a cheery cherry morning too!

2 of my favorite things...

Ryan Gosling and interior design. 

All rolled into one awesome post on Apartment Therapy.

What a way to start the day. sigh...

Current crushes...

When I worked downtown in Chicago I could just walk out of my building and within minutes be at virtually any store I could imagine. Most of the time I wouldn't buy a thing but I knew they were there. So now that I have to drive to the mall and don't have a car, I think I am having shopping withdrawal and wanting everything I see online! Here are some of the looks I am currently crushing on...

BOLD LIPS

BLAZERS

They put the finishing touch on any outfit. Roll up the sleeves and pair it with a fun tank and it's a great look for day or night.

LOTS O' GOLD

My fab hubby bought me a gold watch I've been lusting after for my wedding gift and now I'm obsessed with pairing it with tons of gold bracelets. Its a chic but effortless look.  and P.S. I want that sweater!

POPS (of purple)

Emily Cho foldover clutch

From pants to shoes to handbags, purple adds the right amount of fun to any outfit.

I love the texture a faux fur brings to the outfit. How cute is the 3/4 length sleeve?

What are you crushing on right now?
