Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

Only 6 more days until this much anticipated release.

I've been waiting for this movie since reading the book a few years back.



If you havent read the book by Jonathan Safran Foer, I highly recommend it.

I want...

Dream closet. White. Clean. Organized. Louis.

I'm thinking a 2 bedroom apartment is in order for the sole purpose of  having a room like this.

Rainy Day Finds

Today was a rainy day in Wisconsin.

While I sit in my hotel room putting this post together,

I'm wishing for some couch time under a warm blanket with my best friend and a cup of tea.

Sadly, there's no couch that will accomodate two friends whom live in different time zones.

Instead I've settled for a warm bed and some style inspiration.

I'm sure you've heard, but Pinterest is all the rage right now; here are some of my style finds.

Loving this causal yet cozy chic outfit...

but I'd spice it up a bit with these Kate Spade beauties.

Talk about a gorgeous and versatile clutch.

[here]

Black skinnies. Boyfriend shirt. Accent clutch. Great heels.

[here]

Classic.

You simply cannot go wrong with black chucks and an amazing black leather bag.

[here]

I've recently been on the lookout for some great leather skinnies.

Paired with chucks and a tee (dont forget a great bag) for a casual look.

Or jeans and sparkles for a night on the town.

[here]

What are you favorite finds?  Pinterest or not.



Quotes

I'm pretty sure this is a repeat.

But if you ask me, it's absolutely worth repeating,

& it's something we all should live by.

Quotes: Orson Welles

I think this is a wonderful style motto.

Nine Years



Nine years ago my friend Kate gave me three roses for my birthday.

She passed away two years ago but those same exact three roses still hang on my wall and

The past few years my friends have made sure I get my yellow birthday roses.

I seriously have the best friends.

Bag Lady

Chances are, if you know me, even a little bit,

you've realized that I've got a thing for bags.

If I see a geat bag I usually cannot resist temptation.

Bags come in so many shapes, sizes, colors, and materials;

and I don't think you cant ever have too many.

Happy Monday!

What an adorable video to start this lovely week.

Friday Favorites

Yet again the week has flown by unbelievably fast.

For me, it was one of those weeks that felt painfully slow,

but now that its over, I'm not sure where the days went.

This weekend will involve work (yuck), fire pits, DIY projects,

shoppping with my madre, hanging out with my favorite little kids,

celebrating birthdays and hopefully a little bit of relaxing.

Here are a few of my most favorite things as of late.

[here]

• 60 handwritten letters in envelopes that are to die for? Yes please!
• Lace is definitely in this season and I've gotten hooked
• With a change of seasons comes a change in many menus, I'd love to host a party to try out a few of these mouth watering finds: here, here, & here
• Every holiday I usually end up with the task of making the centerpiece, this year I'll be traveling for the holidays but would love to give my own version of this as a gift
• I dare you to tell me this doesnt look amazing
• Knowing that sometime in the relatively near future I'll be in my own house or apartment I love finding little bits of inspiration for decorating. I love the clean feeling of these pictures.
• The vintage filing cabinet in this post by Jenny over at Little Green Notebook would be amazing in any space

A Hint of Summer

It's pretty obvious around here that I love Summer wardrobes.

In warm weather I always wear skirts and dresses.
