Moody monday

It's one of those mondays. That's all I have to say about that. I'll need sugar and chocolate to get through the day. UPDATE: I just got a mint chocolate chip cupcake at an editor's birthday party, so yayy! I have some pep in my step now.

Interior design:

To celebrate their 5 year blogging anniversary, John and Sherry at Young House Love are hosting an awesome giveaway of crazy cool home items (worth over $500).

Next, head to Habitually Chic where the lovely Heather is giving away an Oomph side table (they retail for $1400!). You just have to choose your favorite color and finish to enter.

Win a set of 8 colorful Mattie Luxe melamine plates at House of Turquoise today! Just visit the Mattie Luxe website and pick your favorite pattern. Then head back to House of Turquoise and leave a comment to enter.

Food:


Next time I feel that hankering for Mexican food, I'm reaching for this Grilled Corn, Mushroom + Roasted Poblano Tacos from How Sweet it Is. And that next time? Probably tonight.

Loving this popsicle recipe roundup by Ez at Creature Comforts.

After the day I've had, this Blackberry Gin Fizz from Smitten Kitchen would really hit the spot.

Fashion/Style:

You'd better hurry over to Emily at Cupcakes and Cashmere to enter her book giveaway today. She already has 12,500 entries and it just went up this morning! You could win a signed copy of her book, pretty hair ties, chocolate covered gummy bears, a candle, and a nail polish that hasn't even released to stores yet.

Ever want to enhance your Vans? Well, check out this cute polka dot DIY project at A Beautiful Mess today. So cute.

See you tomorrow :)
