LOVELY LABEL ♡ Paris Fashion Week: Zahia Dehar ♡

It's the first day of Spring beauties!!!! Let's Celebrate! Yay, we're getting closer to warmer days and wearing pretty little dresses to be pranced about in without freezing our bums off! giggle... I've had this designer in my head ever since I came across a set of photos on Tumblr that just enthralled me and since it's the first day of spring I knew this would be the perfect thing to post about. Believe me, when you see this adorable label you'll know why!

Spring is all about pretty flowers, sweet lambies and sunshine and you definitely will see that in the label of Zahia Dehar. I love the playfulness and whimsy of this spring/summer line!! Yes, you couldn't wear these outfits to go grocery shopping (Well, you could! But you've get a lot of stares which might not be a bad thing!) but fashion is all about having fun and being playful. Check out the video below too...it so reminds me of something out of a fairytale...it even has cute little birdies chirping...Hello Spring! My favorite pieces are the swan bodysuit and the rose dress on the very bottom. What are yours? *wink*

Everybody is talking about going back to school, fall, pumpkin pies, denim and all that yummy goodness and I'll get to it....eventually but right now I'm still in a Summer state of mind.

Hey peeps! Why hello there lovely July. We can't believe you're here!! 

You lovable...sweet...totally hot July! We adore you.  How are you planning your 4th of July holiday? Grilling? At the Beach? Eating lots and lots of Ice Cream? Haha! In fact, today is National Creative Ice Cream Flavor Day! Oooh, what would you come up with? How about a carrot cake with cream cheese swirl ice cream with walnuts swirled inbetween and everwhere? Oh, yum!!

Mmm, if we could we would move to wherever this lovely hammock was...there's nothing better than lounging away the day like that! Oh, hell yeahs...

Oh, look a Tiki Hut!!! I bet the inside is all modern and ultra luxe...what would be your perfect interior to your Tiki Hut? 

This is simply heaven, isn't it? 

You really are.

Bonjour!! The perfect beach outfit, oui?

Strawberries!! Strawberries!! Let's share a bowl!!

What's your story? I'm hoping that my story will be a move soon...to somewhere beachy of course!! *wink wink*

The glare of the sun in your eyes on a hot summer day...totally awesome right?

Who wouldn't want to live here?? I mean, come!! Lounging at the pool with a pretty house....eating those strawberries and slathering Margarita Bloom sunscreen on! Perfection!

The perfect summer outfit, of course excluding hot swimsuits, *wink*, bright yellow heels, a pretty flirty skirt and bustier top and pink clutch! That would be a pretty awesome July day, wouldn't it? And of course, we'd be doing it all to the soundtrack of Daft Punk. Check it out below sweetie pies! 

We hope your Monday is super fabulous! xoxo

I love it...Icona Pop & Picnics that is...

It's been so busy here with us whipping up potions to and fro at Margarita Bloom we completely forgot about our Monday Music Post!! Dang it! *wink* lol...but not to worry better late then never! I've really been feeling the love for "Icona Pop" lately! I love their beat especially this song. I just want to bob my head to it every time I hear it!

I LOVE IT!!

*wink wink*

So yesterday was International Picnic Day!! Oh, I just knew they had to have a daily holiday for picnics! Unfortunately, I couldn't partake in it since it was raining outside but hey, every day can be a fabulous picnic day, in my opinion. 

What's your ideal picnic peeps? 

At the beach like me?....oh, yes a sweet little picnic basket brimming with fruits like watermelon, bananas, cherries, grapes, apples and more....cold fried chicken, fudgey brownies,  and hey you got to have crab cakes and sweet little nibbles all adorably small and bite sized. French Pink Lemonade too!! All laid out on a retro bright pink and colorful blanket, a few good books, Jane Austen perhaps? (shaking head yes) Let's see what else...maybe a little frisbee or ball to play with a few friends, plenty of sunscreen and a yummy Margarita Bloom caramel popcorn scented lotion. *wink wink*

Did you know that the word Picnic can actually be traced to the 1692 edition of Tony Willis, "Origines de la Langue Française", which mentions pique-nique as being of recent origin; it marks the first appearance of the word in print. It basically was used to describe a group of people dining in a restaurant who brought their own wine. Glug! Glug! Bottoms up! 

Now, in English picnic first "appeared" in a letter of the Gallicized Lord Chesterfield in 1748 (OED), who associates it with card-playing, drinking and conversation, and may have entered the English language from this French word.  

After the French Revolution in 1789, royal parks became open to the public for the first time. Picnicking in the parks became a popular activity amongst the newly enfranchised citizens. Whoohoo, bring on the picnic-ing!! 

Now, early in the 19th century, a fashionable group of Londoners (including Edwin Young - I''m not entirely sure who he is, but he must have been popular...couldn't find too much but I'll keep looking. I'm intrigued! ) formed the 'Picnic Society'. Members met in the Pantheon on Oxford Street. Each member was expected to provide a share of the entertainment and of the refreshments with no one particular host. Interest in the society waned in the 1850s as the founders died.  Boo, that's an awesome idea! We should totally revive that...a Picnic Society! That would be a great way to make new friends, don't ya think? ...giggle...

Happy Picnic Day peeps!
