10 Things That Make Me Happy

Oh happy day, folks. Once again, my thoughts are brimming with wee things that make me happy. Yes, I am that easily entertained!

Love this little Lela Rose dress we chose for a summer bride of ours, only we’re doing it in a punchy clover green that’s even more delish.

Nothing sweeter than a locket (or four!) on a long 10K gold chain paired with other vintage necklaces, all draped over some airy little shift.

Do: plan for Spring showers, in style. The pagoda umbrella fits the bill.

Don’t: get caught using some nappy old freebie umbrella.

No, no, no. I know what you’re thinking. These are NOT your average chocolate-covered strawberries, people. These are from my hometown chocolatier in Memphis- Dinstuhl’s Candies. They dip them first in a liquid fondant, then in milk chocolate…the result? Pure heaven. Order them here.

What we’re listening to: Celtic bluegrass. So soothing during the typically frenetic days of a wedding designer.

No, that’s not my hand, nor my fake nails. But I am sporting this little greige color, Chinchilly, and I feel rocker chic thanks to Essie.

I hear you, I hear you- I have a love affair with gray. Don’t tell my husband! These little J. Crew Lilly stud heels would be darling for bridesmaids, or in my closet, thankyouverymuch.

Whilst stomping around the kitchen accessorized as far above, you should also whip out the latest Lee Bros’ Cookbook, Simple, Fresh, Southern. There is nothing more refreshing or authentic for new South cooking than the tidbits within.

Currently stacked on my coffee table: Veranda, Remodel, Traditional Home, Southern Accents, old Dominos, and a stray Martha Stewart Weddings or two. Confession: we’re renovating our little Charleston cottage and my dreams are filllllled with Swedish interiors, as above. If only we had existing 14 foot ceilings and a winning lottery ticket!

Anything and everything Cheree is just fine by me. The whimsy, the bold color, the effortless style? Yes, please.
