My new K10 MINI Plus Brewing System has been a total gem at accommodating my chaotic lifestyle, taking no more than 2.5 minutes to have my single cup of coffee brewed into my to go cup and ready to roll; if only I could teach it to throw in some raw sugar and securely close the lid for me too!
I recently downsized from a Keurig K75 Platinum to the adorable K10 MINI Plus, which looks so polished and sharp amongst my other kitchen appliances in its sophisticated platinum finish and compact size.

Expect classic nautical detailing updated in striking silhouettes for spring 2014 at Nautica, featuring crisp blouses in vibrant prints, softened quilted jackets, all found in canvas, chambray, seersucker, gingham, linen, and lightweight cotton, and of course a color palette of predominantly red, white, and blue. Even casually lounging takes a well-fashioned flare, with lightweight tanks and flouncy pants taking the lead. Some new favorites this season are the lovely jewelry accessories such as braided bracelets and rope styles, as well as canvas sandals (my favorites are the espadrilles), sure to make you yearn for the days of summer to promptly return. In fact, some of them, like this mixed media nautical anchor clutch and braided bracelet (both pictured) can be shopped now! See the slideshow above for my top picks!
