Scarves

Hello everyone!  Hope you all had a great weekend!

After a few days of nice warm weather here in NYC it suddenly got a little chilly and it rained all day on Sunday.  I did not expect that!  I got spoiled so yesterday I felt cold. 

I think that a great way to get over this chilly without getting bulky is a nice scarf.  I love scarves!  They can really make an outfit.  Here are some beautiful scarves to have handy if the weather goes down again :)

Love the colors on this one...

I think scarves are perfect for Spring, don't you agree?  Do you like to wear them?

Thanks for reading and have a great week!!

Cinco de Mayo

Happy Friday everyone!

I LOVE mexican food, tacos, veggie burritos, salsa, enchiladas, tamales and please don't let me get started with guacamole, we would be talking for hours.  

I was surprised when my friend told me they don't celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Mexico as much as it is celebrated here.  Their independence day is September 15th!

Anyways I'll take any excuse to eat Mexican :)

When we lived in Chicago we had the chance to eat a lot of real authentic Mexican food.  Something that called my attention was Mango with chili.  I was like, what?!

After I tried it I would get it every time I could!

Do you love mexican food as much as I do?  What's your favorite one?  I can't decide :)

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Outdoors

It's so hot now in NYC that I would love to have a picnic every day! I guess we'll have to wait until the weekend :)

For those of you who are on vacation and free to eat outdoors on the park here are some nice picnics ideas!

Get a colorful blanket. It can be an old bright flat sheet or this beautiful picnic blanket:

Summer Bag

Last Summer I saw this beautiful bag at The Container Store and when I went to buy it they were all gone!!  So when I saw it again at the beginning of this season I got it right away :)
I love it!  It's spacious and the big flowers make it cheerful and happy! 

I added a little personal touch to make it my own :)

 I'm hoping to use it every where this Summer!  What do you think?

Beautiful Spaces... Patios

There's something about Spring that I love.  The warm weather and a soft breeze sometimes just cozy enough to wear a light sweater and have breakfast at your terrace.

Look at this beautiful terraces found around the web:
