Sassy Spring Love List for Diet Pepsi

April 25, 2013 by Sharon Garofalow 3 Comments

I love to share items and inspiration that I am into at the moment. Diet Pepsi sponsored this post so I could show you all how I plan to freshen up our new home and my spring wardrobe with a Sassy Spring Love List.I love how Diet Pepsi is keeping things fresh and bringing in fantastic designers to create updated cans. As you know, we are about to move in to a new house and I am SO looking forward to freshening up our decor. While some of the big pieces will stay, we are hoping to update with some bold new accessories and rugs. And since our new backyard is beautifully landscaped, these bright melamine plates from West Elm would be perfect for al fresco dinners. Even though I’ve been living in jeans and t-shirts while I pack up the house, I am currently coveting printed pants in something other than denim. And the colors I’m gravitating towards are rich brights. Do you freshen up for spring? What would be on your Sassy Spring Love List?

Diet Pepsi has asked a number of great bloggers to share their lists. Follow along on twitter at #loveeverysip

I also wanted to quickly point out that while trying upgrade our computer ourselves, we lost use of Illustrator, photoshop, etc. So this collage was done with an online program. I had no idea how to resize the images so the Diet Pepsi can remains massive. That was not done in a blatant “BUY DIET PEPSI THIS INSTANCE OR ELSE” sort of way. Just wanted you to know that.

Thank you to Diet Pepsi for compensating me on this post. I love Diet Pepsi’s Love List promotion and am happy to be a part of it. All opinions and good taste are mine.

Spring Playlist

Here is what I am listening to right now. I still really like lilting vocals, electronic sounds and big melodies but I can see some rock creeping back in. Which makes sense considering summer for me is all about classic rock. I’m obsessed with the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Like, a lot. What are you currently listening to?

Floppy Hats for Spring and Summer Fun

March 19, 2013 by Sharon Garofalow 4 Comments

In California we have a lot of sun. But when it isn’t really warm, you sometime forget about the damage it can do. The weather started to warm up recently and it has me noticing how much sun we are exposed to just walking to and from school. While my skin cancer scar is healing up nicely, it is still new skin and I’m not supposed to get sun on it. So I’m looking to invest in some floppy hats. Which is freaking me out. My head, face and ears are not suited for hats. The hats shown are certainly cute enough but please think happy thoughts that they fit and don’t make me look like a crazy lady wearing a big hat. Well #5 is a bit Virginia Beach Spring Break but with the right outfit it could be cute. Are you a hat person?
