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

Friday Favorites

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.

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.

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?

Style Inspiration

For those of you that don't know, I love lists. I write a list for just about everything.
Especially traveling.
I love love love traveling.
Luckily that love is stronger than my severe hatred for packing.
The only thing worse than packing is unpacking.

 This week has been crawling because this weekend I'm on another solo roadtrip.
[I love road trips with friends, but I also love driving alone. Just me and some great music.]

I've been trying to decide what I'll need for this trip and turned to Pinterest and Polyvore for some inspiration. I just love these outfits of classic pieces accented with such great colors!

You can leave the flats. I'll take the rest.

I simply cannot resist jeans and a white tee.

What are your packing essentials? Any favorite traveling/packing hints or tips to share?

Please?

After quite a few road trips and numerous summer activities,
it's about time to buckle down and quit spending my hard earned dollars.
[except of course for the remainder of my summer plans,
including but not limited to a few concerts and a trip to Florida]

For the time being I'll be strictly window shopping. Here's a few things I've been lusting after.

What have you been saving up for??

Sucker

A few years back, my other half spent three months in Madrid studying abroad.

Throughout her travels she got me this lovely little jewelry dish.

[which happens to be featured on the banner of her blog]

And so was born my love/addiction for jewelry dishes and trinket trays.

I have far too many. I can think of seven off the top of my head.

What can I say? I'm a sucker for the things I love and a good deal.

Here are a few of my favorites from Etsy.

Anthropologie just happens to be one of the best places to find such gems,

[aside from hand picked ones brought back from Europe]

especially because most of them are found hidden in the sale section for less than five bones!

And while were on the topic of Anthropologie, here are two of my current loves from there.

How cute would this be full of fresh fruit and berries on the kitchen table?

And this little guy. We go way back. I've had my eye on him since I found him in

my local Anthro months and months back. But at a nice price of $68, I'm waiting for him to go on sale.

Hopefully he doesn't find another home before then!

One Day

I'll actually get back in the groove of blogging regularly.

For now, every time I think I'll be able to, I will undoubtedly get distracted.

In just a few short hours I'm headed south for a friends

gorgeous beach wedding. It couldn't be better timing, I'm beyond

excited for a mini vacation, the beach, palm trees, drinks and a nice tan.

As you can read here, I'm easily lost in the world of Pinterest.

I've been wanting to share some of my favorite pins,

but since my mac hates to publish photos on blogger,

I'm stuck sharing a bunch of links.

Enjoy!!
