Furnishing Interior Design: Hump-Day Happies

I have been spending a lot of time in the nursery this week.  A lot.  The munchkin is teething <i>and</i> has a cold <i>and</i> has a habit of climbing to a standing position the second he opens his eyes.  It's pretty amazing how quickly he gets up there and I'm pretty sure he's confused about why he's standing once he fully wakes up. <br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Hump-Day Happies: Etsy Prints from Trafalgar's Square

I have been spending a lot of time in the nursery this week. A lot. The munchkin is teething and has a cold and has a habit of climbing ...

I'm starting a new series called Hump-Day Happies whereby I post something that makes me happy and I think you must have.  It will obviously be a material thing, because as much as I love sunshine, laughter, puppies and baby thighs, y'all want to know about something you can go out and get yourself.  Right? Right. Think of me as Oprah telling you about my favorite things, only I'm not giving you free stuff.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaxse_WM5K_Lt551iWsB9YvSHH2hxcQatNdIIDBp6EMLIgqf_qsBHXD1E1_AZ0M27TkgGFTwxGFktysD0yvVkmj9I6IZynHKG-bRGXL1UCDFpTQVv909I34y3ac810xtjJ8vBdYJucgR_p/s1600/C%2526Klogo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaxse_WM5K_Lt551iWsB9YvSHH2hxcQatNdIIDBp6EMLIgqf_qsBHXD1E1_AZ0M27TkgGFTwxGFktysD0yvVkmj9I6IZynHKG-bRGXL1UCDFpTQVv909I34y3ac810xtjJ8vBdYJucgR_p/s1600/C%2526Klogo.png" /></a></div><br /><br />For today's Hump-Day Happy, I give you my favorite <a href="http://claridgeandking.com/content/original-his-hers-shirt">Claridge and King His is Hers cotton button down</a>.  The geniuses at <a href="http://claridgeandking.com/">Claridge and King</a> took a classic men's button down and tailored it to a woman's body making it narrower at the waist with longer tails. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5dOS9qaHavb6pdSK-4nR5uEYFsYluPHnpKvDawqxWOn9tFWqIXxes9GUAlcld-urtPOv2RdzCWJWSZoxEpe09grIvK1VXSrDIHEcu25Yj-EGsWmE3JRZ9qWYTjAVoquxCyYG-yt8pbpw/s1600/Picture+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5dOS9qaHavb6pdSK-4nR5uEYFsYluPHnpKvDawqxWOn9tFWqIXxes9GUAlcld-urtPOv2RdzCWJWSZoxEpe09grIvK1VXSrDIHEcu25Yj-EGsWmE3JRZ9qWYTjAVoquxCyYG-yt8pbpw/s1600/Picture+2.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It comes in blue and white stripe, charcoal gray, light blue, pale pink and white.  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZscDF1K40woffTy7yfCf6HYTLBSvxt_e2hGkgoDceZ7njEJlBRa6QozEUO0GqZCwuTXH_ag5OL2s9aojbOc_MRFxyIZQs-QXWkSE2jcxNnEqA6UiT_zV0YqVmy27EtfDLdg-Aj9DCVnY/s1600/Picture+1.png.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZscDF1K40woffTy7yfCf6HYTLBSvxt_e2hGkgoDceZ7njEJlBRa6QozEUO0GqZCwuTXH_ag5OL2s9aojbOc_MRFxyIZQs-QXWkSE2jcxNnEqA6UiT_zV0YqVmy27EtfDLdg-Aj9DCVnY/s1600/Picture+1.png.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The shirt is delivered in an adorable gray and white striped pillowcase with a mother-of-pearl button.  It can even be monogrammed (whoot!)  I wear mine to get ready, over shorts or as a swimsuit cover-up.  I gave them to my bridesmaids to wear when we got ready for the wedding.  I loves it very, very much and would like to order them in every color<i> </i><s>or receive one for free for my kind words (blue size medium) ... shameless.</s> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Have a happy hump day!
