This post was sponsored by ShopatHome.com, but the love of Pineapples is all my own.   Every summer I fall in love with the pineapple trend. This summer the Pineapple trend took the world by storm with chic and modern pineapple apparel being found everywhere.

Echo Design carries an array of scarves in diverse color palettes and patterns. Since Spring has finally made its way to the Philadelphia area I decided to pair this Limited Edition Butterfly Fields Scarf…

Some days I’m okay and other days I just can’t handle life unless I hit my Keurig for a hot and steamy cup of dark goodness in a cup.
