Lonny & Closets...Love

Every woman dreams of the perfect closet.

For many of us, ever since we were little closets were a perfect little hideaway;

slipping between hanging skirts and dresses during hide and seek, "borrowing" our mothers clothes for dress up or just marveling at the rows of varying colors and fabrics.

As usual Lonny has out done themselves again. Check out this amazing post on Killer Closets.

Here are a few of my favorite shots.

Today, Lonnny's  Watercolor Wednesdays are perfectly in line with my thought process.

As cool nights start to push Summer out of the way to make room for Fall,

I'm wishing to cram in as many beach hours as possible.

I've also been wanting to break out my grandmothers paint supplies

and crank out some new art projects.

After traveling as much as possible over the past few months,

I'm actually home for the next few weekends.

Maybe this weekend will consist of hours in the sun and some watercolors of my own....

A New Love

As many of you AL regulars know,

I LOVE reading and perusing issues of LonnyMag.

Well now they've released a new labor of love

with their first issue of TradHome.

[Check it out here]

Being someone thats minorly obsessed with interior design

and is always finding new ides for my future home, I'm in love with the new mag.

How amazing is this playroom?

Green walls, an amazing to die for wall decor quote,

number two most comfortable and inviting couch.

(number one residing in my friends tv room)

What is there not to love?

Friday Favorites

After a long and stressful week

(many of them as a matter of fact) 

I'm excited its Friday.

Here are a few of my favorite things that got me through the week.

• Lonny -- Lonny Mag is full of inspiration. I love sitting with a cup of coffee and "flipping" through the virtual pages.  
• Little Green Notebook -- another of my favorite daily blog reads. Jenny's posts are truely inspirational. Not to mention the latest features one of my favorite guilty pleasures, Gossip Girl. [Be sure to check out this post too! What a brilliant way to save some bills.]
• Adele has been getting me through many stressful days [weeks] of work lately.
• As I've recently been having numerous photo uploading blog issues, I've become even more jealous of Angie's blog design and amazing photography skills.
• Letterpress business cards on Oh Happy Day. I love love love the "Maggie" design.

Anything special planned for this lovely weekend?

Lonny Love

I came across this photo in the new issue of Lonny

I love all things green and this little tray is no different

Just a few days ago some friends and I were chatting about how it would be

nearly impossible fun to decorate in all white, ironically enough,

I found these pictures in Lonny this morning and I love the simplicity

of a blank canvas white room

i would rather be...

as the holiday craziness is winding down and the new year approaches,

i can't help but find myself looking to relax

i can't wait to start planning my next adventure, but until i figure out just what that is going to be,

 i would love to spend a lazy day in a gloriously cozy bed

this view looks amazing

although this room is not my style, i lovelovelove the color of the walls

i think it would be extremely easy to get lost in a deep sleep, a good book,

your own thoughts, or your significat other with these curtains closed around you on a sunny day

i love that this bedroom opens up into a beautiful yard

i would rather be...

now that we're well into october

the nights come much quicker and mornings are much darker

needless to say my internal struggle

to get out of bed before 6am and get my butt to the gym

has become more frequent.

at almost any given moment throughout the day

i would rather be...

curled up under a blanket

trying to keep warm from the

chill of the fall air

with a loved one

[or a book, or a movie]

just simply relaxing

without a care in the world

Dont these look like lovely places to spend the day?
