This post was supposed to publish yesterday but… You know… Life happened.  So you’re getting it this morning and a Toast Talk post will be up later in the afternoon!  I had a really pretty relaxed weekend that mostly involved napping, eating, reading, and cleaning – all the important things I try to do over the course of Saturday and Sunday.  Making pancakes has become the go-to Saturday morning routine for me and my guy and we made fancy blueberry ones this time.  They were insanely good.  And yes, that is Mrs. Butterworth syrup you see in the background – we do things full-fat and classy around here.  I got to pull out my “perfect” green shirt for St. Patrick’s Day celebrating… I found it this time last year from Madewell and it’s the perfect mix of casual and dressy and between mint and kelly green – I lurve it and it’s black buttons make it.  Yesterday I did something I never do and bought fresh blooms for the apartment.  I’m notorious for killing flowers so we we’ll see how long these beauties last… I was pretty impressed with my amateur arranging skills!  What was the special occasion for flowers?  Well we had a fun little shooting session with the darling and talented Kelsey Foster.  More to come on that soon!!

In between devouring chapters of The Night Circus (so, so good) Sally and I started pinning to the a new pin board we’re “guest editing” for our favorite New York boutique – OTTE!  We hope you’ll follow along to see the spring and summer-time inspiration that catches our eyes… Beauty, lifestyle, interiors, the lovely outdoors, and of course lots of style and fashion (including favorite picks from OTTE’s online shop) are all there now with much more to come!  Check it out.

Oh, and we’re wishing a happiest birthday to our dear Dad today!

Pin to Win with Bevello

Wednesday, March 13, 2013 MBM

To celebrate their recent e-commerce site re-design, bevello is hosting a “pin it to win it” contest!  If the brand sounds familiar, it’s probably because you may have been in one of their shops before… What first started with one store in Raleigh, North Carolina with the mission  to dress small town girls with big city style has expanded throughout the years to include some bigger cities – thriving in each new community with customers that connect with the products and aesthetic of the brand.  Our prediction?  2013 will be a great year for bevello, their online presence is a perfect match to what they’ve achieved through brick and mortar!

As you can see from the image above, the steps to win a head-to-toe bevello look for you an a friend is easy… 1) follow bevello on Pinterest, 2) Pin three (or more!) products from Bevello.com, 3) Include #bevello in each pin.  Easy peasy!  You can see what we’ve pinned from the site so far on our “Products we Love” pin board (:  Hurry, hurry – the contest ends THIS Saturday, March 16th!  Also be sure to check out the list of bevello locations to find one near you… Dallasites, you’ll find our store in Snyder Plaza!  Happy pinning, friends!
