This week was a rough one. With two double shifts, trying to get back into a gym routine,

caring for an entire house on my own and everything else that comes with life these days,

I'm so happy it's finally Friday.

Here are a few of my favorite things.

• I want to go somwhere that I can wear this dress with these shoes. ASAP.
• Instant margaritas? Yes please.
• Perfect Summer wardrobe essentials.
• Sons of Anarchy needs to come back already. I'm becoming restless.
• If you ever want (or need) to get on my good side, this is how to do it.
• Cutest. Pup. Ever.

I've been waiting all week to write a post.

But as it sometimes does, life got busy. Life has been getting in the way alot lately.

Mainly because this is my new motto. And I'm loving it.

[here]

Here are a few things that have caught my eye amidst the enjoyable blur of life.

• Obsessed with the "____ = LOVE" print at the very end of this post. The beginning, middle and end of this are equally amazing but I cannot wait to print that out and frame it.
• I must find the perfect Chambray shirt
• Mint Rolex anyone? Who would resist that beauty?
• Max's "Dear Baby" letters have been melting my heart since January. What a beautiful way to start some sibling love.
• My dearest other half is back at her blog. This time with bits and pieces of hometown loving. Find one of my favorite new posts here.
• Todays dose of cuteness
   

The lovely view from one of my favorite spots ever. Tiny tables and all.



Another Week Already Gone

Lately the days seem to be flying by much faster than normal.

I cannot believe that it is already February 10th.

I'm hoping to have a chance to sit back and take everything in sometime soon,

until then I'm thoroughly enjoying living life to the fullest.

• My bff starting blogging again. Take a peek at her lovely little blog about her favorite city.
• Lots of old frames hanging around? Try some of these DIY options.
• love.
• Yearning for some elbow patches on the perfect sweater
• How adorable are these for the ever so quickly approaching Valentines Day???
• & as always, a little bit of anchor love
• p.s. if you're still looking for my Valentines Day present, get this. I'll love you forever.

With the holiday season comes a few tride and true facts.

I will always have more things to do than hours in each day.

I will always over gift. I simply cannot help it. I love buying things for other people.

I will disappear from the blog world, seldomly making any type of appearance.

Lucky for you I'm back with some of my latest favs.

• Chilly mornings and dark (at 5pm) nights call for extra cozy clothing
• This will be mine one day
• Cute pups make me happy all year round. This little boy does too
• Obsessed
• More cuteness here and here
• Friday Favorites wouldnt be complete without some style
• My newest love

This weekend starts off an extremely (admittedly insanly) busy December.

I will definitely miss waking up fully rested but cannot wait to

spend this season with my amazing friends and family.

[[d.k. this is for you]]

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

Friday Favorites

Thankfully this week is nearly over.
With a jam packed weekend ahead, I'm not sure how much relaxing I'll get to do but I'm still excited for a few days "off." And there's no better way to kick off the weekend than some postseason baseball.

• Some of the funniest, weirdest, cutest videos ever.
• Gold, glitter, and adorable flats
• Fueling my growing watch collection
• In case you hadn't noticed, I'm obsessed with these
• So simple
• The perfect place to spend a fall afternoon under a cozy blanket
• Whenever you're having a bad day, cute pets will cheer you up no matter what

How will you  be spending this lovely fall weekend?

Happy Friday!

This week is finalllly coming to a close. Did it feel torturously slow for anyone else?

As you know I'm headed away for the long weekend and thought I'd leave you with some of my favorite pictures of gorgeous vintage luggage. I've decided I definitely need to keep an eye out for some amazing pieces similar to these for around my one day dream house.

Green vintage style luggage? Say no more. I need this.

[here]

I wish I had a suitcase like this. She's got all the essentials.

Cable knits, flannel, a clutch, camera and dinosaurs all in a beautiful leather suitcase.

[here]

[here]

One day maybe I'll add a piece of LV luggage to my collection.

But don't worry, I dont travel with this many bags and I wont be doing ridiculous poses on my LV trunk.

This is perfection and thats all there is to it.

What do you lovelies have planned for the holiday weekend?

Friday Favorites

It's been quite a week here on the East Coast.

Tuesday brought with it many peoples first earthquake experience.

And this weekend, Hurricane Irene is bringing in a big bundle of fun.

[that is, if you consider 5-10 inches of rain within 24 hours and 50-70 mph winds fun]

Much of the coast is preparing to "batten down the hatches" and settle in for a wet and windy weekend.

When preparing for a hurricane most people would think of necessities,

and  items such as flashlights, water, food, generators, etc.

Not my friends.

[While we are still making sure we have some of those necessary items]

We're more concerned with the items we need for our Hurricane Party.

Good food. Check.

Bathing suits. Check.

Floaties. Check.

Candles. Check.

Alcohol for Hurricane drinks. Check.

Drink umbrellas. Check.

We're making sure to have a great weekend planned aside from the huge

(and somewhat very serious)

potential threat of flooding and guaranteed power outages.

[here]

While not eveyone is thrilled with the idea of our impending weather, here are a few of my favorite finds from this week. You'll find cozy sweatshirts, some items on my wishlist, and pups that are so cute your eyes will hurt and your heart will melt.

• I want this to lounge in all weekend
• If you grew up in the 90s you cannot deny your love for MK&A
• One of my fav blogs for the week
• $139 isnt too much for a bag that would be perfect for quick trips right?.
• These adorable pups will surely brighten your gray day! Look here, here, here & here.
  Which one do you think is the cutest??
• Who wants to help me make this? I'm dying to add it to my collection!
• This is the way to my heart.

How are you going to spend your weekend?

What items are on your wishlist?

4th Favorites

[here]

For the first time in a long time I dont have a weekend jam packed with plans for the 4th.

This year it won't be spent relaxing on the lake,

or at my favorite beach club in LA with my favorite extended family.

This years three day weekend is going to consist of go-with-the-flow-do-whatever-I-want type plans.

Here are four of my favorite finds this week.

• Perfect for a weekend picnic. Although I would dye some rice krispies red and blue
• I think I'll put some of my mini loaf pans to use this weekend
• This is at the tippy top of my DIY To Do list
• The perfect 4th of July in a Jar recipe

What do you have planned for this holiday weekend?

Another week down and the weekend is finally here!

This weekend my sister is coming home from Florida so I'm not traveling at all.

Weird. I know.

• Margarita Lime Cupcakes
• This (little) girl is only 15. Enough said.
• Imagine the levels of productivity if my desk looked like this
• How could anyone resist this adorable healthy desserts
• My friend Kelly's a Stella & Dot rep. Browse this adorable jewelry and dont buy something. I dare you.
• This girl, my bff, has an uncanny eye for style

Lastly, my favorite thing this Friday, is every person in this picture.

(minus the random guy in the hat in the background)

Sometimes the stress of working two jobs,

and attempting to have a personal life can get pretty out of hand.

These girls (and Matt), remind me what I love about my long days and late nights due to double shifts.

We're a tight knit family and I love it.

Snapshots



[here]

This photo and quote has been awfully thought provoking this Wednesday morning.

With the repetitiveness of day to day life, what does the bigger picture look like?

You  may have seen this post, and checked out some of the links to find this.

And because I own one of these:

[here]

I've set out to complete this work of art.

I'm no where near finished. Or even part way complete.

I want the overall picture (no pun intended) of this piece to include all sorts of snapshots.

(not to mention the film for this bad boy isn't cheap)

Hopefully by the time I move I'll have enough to fill a large frame

and have a beautiful statement piece to fill my living room wall.

Friday for most people means a couple of work-free days of relaxation,

this Friday for me means a continuation of the work week,

with a pretty full work schedule.

Here are a few things that I hope to get me through the weekend

[here]

• This song quickly made it to the top of my playlist this week
• The perfect windows down, music up on a beautful day CD of the year
• Mosey around my Pinterest boards here
• Expand your spring wardrobe and shrink your wallet with Anthro's spring line
• Amazing take-your-breath-away photography

Also Happy 22nd to my dearest Jessalyn
