Our Summer into Fall Mantel

Yesterday, I decorated a little bit differently to bring in some of the fall ambiance. I was given a really pretty floral arrangement from my mother as well as a gorgeous vase to go with it. The flowers though, didn't all fit in the vase so I recreated a few different arrangements for our mantel.
I realized how much I miss playing with flowers since I decided not to take the advanced floral class this semester. This brought me to a relaxing creative place and gives our home more of an "inviting" feel.
The mantel right night now has a summer into fall presence. As much as I'm hanging onto my warm summer days, I'm definitely awaiting fall's humble welcome.

What are some of your favorite ways to decorate for fall season?

Summer Lovin' + a $500 GIVEAWAY!!!

So far, I have really enjoyed this summer-which is weird to say because I very much dislike the heat. With trips to my mom's pool, a date night to the Tim McGraw concert, a Laughlin trip this weekend, photo shoots, visits with some good friends and another concert coming up, I can say it's been a pretty amazing season so far. Know what else would make this summer even more amazing (for you anyway)? Winning $500 CASH!! Seriously! I have teamed up with several sweet bloggers to bring you this great giveaway. Think about all of the things you can do with $500 this summer! What are some of the ways you'd spend this great prize? I'd probably put it towards our family Hawaii trip we are saving for next year. The husband will be 30 so what a way to celebrate right? Let me know your ideas in the comments below. :) Good luck my friends!

Oh, hello Summer!

It's officially summer time as of yesterday. It isn't my favorite season but living in the desert in southern Cali probably has something to do with that.
Today though, I am enjoying the warm weather with some ice cold cucumber water, a new mani and a few rays from the sun.

Nail polish is from Julep called Georgia.

How is summer treating you so far?
