The lovely and talented Catherine Fitzsimmons is the creative force behind all of this...+ she has a fantastic blog where you can check in on her daily inspirations. Not only has Catherine kindly agreed to share her favorites with us this week (and they are awfully lovely), but she's also offering a little giveaway...the super sweet turquoise seahorse kurta below. (The winner picks the size -- 6mo,12mo, or 24mo.)
Just leave a comment on this post by next Friday, March 26th and I'll pick a lucky winner at random!
So without further ado, herewith Catherine's favorites. Enjoy and have a splendid weekend (we have some fun surprise adventures planned for the girlies! I'll be back with details and photos on Monday...)
my favorites for you...in no particular order
jumby, my snuggly fat yellow lab...she is my child , literally...i tuck her in at night, kiss her way too many times a day, she rules the roost, my best friend.
warm weather by the water, preferably at a beach that you can see goes on for miles..love those beaches in the southeast..and smelling like suntan lotion! image via here...
my everyday cup of tea..i actually get excited to get up and start brewing my tea and go straight to read blogs and get inspired for the day! my tea of choice is Mighty Leaf Orange Dulce..2 cups (large ones) a day! (image via here)
elephants- in the past few years i have grown to adore them..a great photograph of them & i have incorporated them in some of the rikshaw designs..they are so sweet to me.(image from we heart it)
cupcakes- they are just this darling little feminine treat to indulge in. I stop in mos cupcake bakeries and usually go for a coconut one or a key lime with buttercream frosting..yum
feminine style- there is nothing edgy or modern about me, it just doesn't work on me..i love dresses, tights, a braid or special twist in the hair, an extra ruffle on the bag or shoe, and a feathery skirt is pretty fab too! i adore images that are feminine…they inspire me to get out of my jeans. (top image via souvenirs of a girl, bottom image via this is glamorous)
movies- its a family tradition, my entire family are big movie goers..nothing like a movie that will make you cry & laugh like sex and the city but don't get me wrong i love a good corrupt government movie like syriana...and thoughtful films like - Up in the air, away we go, garden state..i could go on and on.
and
music- i choose music to play everyday off my computer when i work..i love all brands..it just depends the mood! & live music is a slight obsession.

the South- its where my family lives and where i am from... countless memories from growing up on the river in the summertime to college in the deep south of alabama..(image via we heart it)
