Friday Happies






























In addition to all these pretties, my Friday happy list includes a sushi date tonight, a fun photo shoot this weekend, sparkly toe nail polish (Deborah Lippman's "Boom Boom Pow") that I am just dying to use, a forecast full of sunshine and some much needed pool time, serving Gina's Tomato Mozzarella Arugula towers with grilled steaks tomorrow and a perfect new Pinot Noir, and sending some care packages in the mail....
What's on your Friday happy list?

Enjoy the weekend sweet friends, thanks a bunch for your company this week!

Pink & Green Thursday: Neon Brights





















Happy Pink & Green Thursday!


Many thanks to everyone who has been linking up for the last few weeks!  I know it's summer and everyone's schedules are so hectic, but I appreciate everyone's beautiful posts and taking the time to join us.  As a reminder anyone is welcome to play along, just grab the button from my sidebar, and link your blog post by showing us your favorite pinks and greens!  Visit the blog hop for even more fabulous inspiration too :)


 Lately I have been on a huge neon kick...there is something about bright colors that just radiates an extra special energy!   Especially fun for date nights but also an easy way to throw a little flair into your work ensembles, and even around the house, the right touch of neon can add the right splash of color in the most unexpected places!  I have a few favorites to share with you below, hope you enjoy...







Lovely Ruthie Davis heels





Charming neon bow earrings via







A surprise neon yellow-green kitchen door









So cute in their bright neon denim and oversized tops paired with colorful heels
(come on, you know you've rocked the neon denim too!)









Fabulous shoulder bag from Jimmy Choo







Beautiful brights from Jil Sander






Chunky chain-link gold and hot pink bracelet from Marc Jacobs








Spotted on the streets of Denmark, neon pink dress, flourescent yellow crossbody satchel and punchy orange watch.  Aren't those shoes wild?









Gorgeous neon lime green leather wrap watch from La Mer, j'adore!
(and so affordable!)








Hot pink straw in a large iced coffee on a perfect summer day, yummy!








Darling ruffled mini-dress by Nina Ricci in neon pink..ooh la la!







Stealing a kiss next to those precious hot pink chairs, what's not to love? :)


Cheers to all things BRIGHT and beautiful!
See you on the blog hop!
xoxo


P.S. Thanks so much to all who emailed regarding guest hosting Pink & Green Thursday throughout the fall.  I'm working on the schedule and will be sending it out this week.  There are a few slots left, if you're interested, please send me an email to pinkpreppylillylover (at) gmail (dot) com and I'll send you the available dates! xx


P.P.S.  I had an anonymous question regarding Jolie's pink harness from last week - believe it or not it's actually from Wal-Mart, the Lulupink line (sorry it's not online so I can't link to it.)  Thanks for all the sweet shout outs for my little furbaby!  Did you see these pictures on twitter of her newest collar from her puppy cousin Lola?  Cupcakes and polka dot grosgrain, I die :)

Oh, Yes Indeed!




Couldn't have said it better myself!

 Hope y'all are staying cool in this heatwave.  It's not too often most of the country is in triple digits and New Orleans is in the eighties...don't worry it won't last long!  Make sure to indulge in an extra scoop of ice cream or a chilly beverage or two! :) 

Happy Friday, and a big welcome to the new followers and friends. 
Wishing you a weekend full of all your favorite things!
xoxo

Pink & Green Thursday: Pretty Bling












Happy Pink & Green Thursday!


Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!  In my quest for girly things, I must admit that lately the things that have been catching my eye have had a particular bling factor.   Especially a few pretties here, here and here which are on sale at Kate Spade that I am trying desperately to resist!  I love how a little extra sparkle can add such a special touch to ordinary things.  Whether it is a sparkly brooch attached to a gift box, a shiny back splash in your kitchen, or simply some extra crystals on your chocolate covered strawberries, you can never have too much twinkle!



















































Can't wait to visit everyone on the blog hop!
Have an extra-sparkly Pink & Green Thursday!
xoxo



P.S.  Jolie wanted me to show you her new fancy pink harness.  Don't you love the ruffles?  I'm going to have her name embroidered on it  :)   Speaking of embroidering and monogramming...stay tuned for an awesome giveaway next week! xx

NOLA Love: Guest Post for Sarah













You can find me today spreading a little New Orleans sunshine over at Sarah's beautiful blog, Fairy Tales Are True!  Sarah and her sweet JB are vacationing in Croatia, and I was thrilled when she asked me to guest blog about a city so near and dear to our hearts.  Sarah is seriously one of the kindest and most adorable ladies ever and I love reading about her adventures.  Hop on over and say hello!

Perfectly Anthro





































Loving these sweet looks from the Anthropologie July '11 look book!  I am especially fond of the green button down gingham shirt (it comes in navy too), the ruffly "All aflutter" yellow blouse and that darling pansy-printed corset trench.  Oh and how cute are those "Plant the Seed" readers

Hope you are having a wonderful Monday!
xoxo


P.S. For all my tumblr-lovin' friends, Anthropologie is also on tumblr.  Go follow them here!
