Take some sound shoe advice from a blogger who has a closet full of lust worthy shoes.

An instagram account that will make you start daydreaming of traveling.

Maybe one day I can have my table set with some of these pretties.

Alright loves it is officially Friday and I am looking forward to a long weekend. I hope to explore Mobile some and perhaps travel to the beach or New Orleans for a day. What are you guys doing for Labor Day? Whatever it is have a fun and safe time.

A great way to revamp your Pinterest boards.

 

This lamp goes perfectly with my new bedrooms colors.

 

This is a sequel I am so excited to go watch.  

 

Currently reading this book and love this article on why Shailene Woodley is amazing.

Serious apartment envy.

 

Another enchanting place to add to the bucket list.

 

Flower petals used in fashion design illustrations.

Transformations just from make-up.

The difference between should and must...incredibly eye opening.

Tray inserts for those who change their mind constantly on décor.


I bought this ring (on a ring binge) the other day and it is set to arrive TODAY!

This had me in tears in 20 seconds; such a touching moment.

A maid of honor rap toast.....quite possibly the best toast ever!

A great round up of fun and fairly easy DIYs from A Beautiful Mess.

Nordstrom is having their  Half Yearly Sale.

Love this dressy/casual look from Krystin and especially those palm print pants.


The above picture is one I hope to experience in real life at the end of this year...details to come later.

I can't think of a better way to use 8,000,000 rose petals.



 

My wanderlust got kicked up a notch after seeing some of the most beautiful and unusual hotels around the world.

 

A picture is a worth a thousand words, except this group might be worth so many more.

 

I can only attest to a few of these but boy was the map spot on.

 

 

Anything in a pink/gold combo and I am hooked plus the colors are perfect for a Spring Mani.

 

This little cutie took over one of my favorites blog the other day and it was adorable.

 

I am thinking of trying out a crossfit class and found this article to be helpful.

 

Everyone needs a good pair of navy shorts...I picked up my second pair this past week.

 

My grandma, mom and little sister are coming to visit me this weekend and help with a project or two (which may or may not end up on this little blog). They also plan to help me pack for my trip which I leave for in ........

FOUR DAYS!!

I am sucker for a sweet love story and even more beautiful is they got married where they met, which is a gorgeous olive grove.

 

Couldn't have said these words better myself.

The fact that a teenager came up with this is amazing, the fact that our government hasn't thought of it already (baffling).

 

This is on the menu for dinner sometime next week.

 

I am going to be sweating it out here tomorrow at 8:30am. If you haven't taken a class....DO IT!

I leave in exactly eleven days for a little work and a little play at this slice of heaven!

 

I scooped up a pair of these beauties the other day and let me tell you they are so comfortable.

 

Helena can seriously rock any look and be stunning. This denim on denim is amazing.

 

I am on the hunt for the perfect blush colored bag. This RM is high on the list right now.

 

 

I hope you all have a seriously wonderful weekend!

Pictures tell stories that we can't always put into words. When the subject is the love of your life words will never do this subject justice.

I am HUGE fan of Hallie's blog, if you haven't checked it out please do so. Her Love Letter...well if I were try to describe why I wanted to live in NYC to someone I couldn't have said it better than she did.

If you think you are busy, trying being a wife, mom to four adorable little ones and a clothing designer. The fact that Cori is still standing baffles me and to boot she looks cute gorgeous while doing all of the above is amazing. I am all about going after your dream and currently she has a Kickstarter program you should check out.

I am purchasing this perfect striped shirt, probably in three colors.

Speaking of stripes, I think this might the most comfortable/cute hoodie ever.

This seriously fabulous instagram account is worth a follow just after one glimpse at her feed.

I found my new favorite navy dress for summer.

Also a perforated, perfectly nude and ONE SALE sandal....is this real life?

See a picture and like the color palette or not sure what color goes with what? Well Sherwin-Williams is here to help you with a cool new tool.

I am going to end this with a hysterical Clueless reenactment music video that is a must watch in my opinion.

Now think of me tomorrow as I pack and move a whopping three miles to a new apartment, with a new roommate and many new adventures.



It is officially Friday and I more than overjoyed at the fact that I have the rainy weekend to look forward to. Why might you ask, well because I have to pack up my life seeing as how I am moving in two weeks. I, of course, planned a trip next weekend that takes that out of the packing plan so I will enjoy the need to be inside and pack myself into an organized stupor.

Anyways this week's internet search has landed me some awesome finds and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

I don't know about you, but this little girl's willingness to help others gives me such faith in the next generation.

 

Although this video makes me worry the next generation is never going to have the right idea about what natural beauty is. I was even in shock at what Photoshop could do.

 

I am a firm believe rin kisses. I think there is something so intimate and special about them and while I never imagined strangers kissing would be beautiful and heart warming I learned differently after this perfect story.

 

This weekend might call for a yummy new recipe and I think I found just the one to whip up.

 

I have every desire in the world to add a pink moto jacket to my wardrobe thinks to the ever stylish Blair.

 

With Spring around the corner, I am gearing up for a new palette of colors and this gorgeous mani is top on my list to try.

Also can we talk about how SJP is on top of her shoe game, but I never doubted she wouldn't be. I have plans a little farther into the future to add one pair to my ever growing shoe collection.

Speaking of SJP, check out her stunning brownstone and answers to 73 random questions.

My gorgeous and sweet friend Sarah, FINALLY opened up an Etsy shop and she is selling her art. Trust me you want a piece of her work hanging in your house/studio/office, whatever. Anyways check her site out and watch her collection grow.

Last but certainly not least, is this awesome adventure, I am going on in April with work. A coworker of mine was kind of enough to invite along on our work's mission trip to Dominican Republic. I am excited to go and already prepared to never want to leave.

I am super obsessed with the chalkboard spice jars from Anthropologie, and after stumbling upon this DIY version and some perfect chalkboard stickers, these beauties will be in my kitchen soon enough.

 

Everyone needs a little sparkle in their life. So I figure what better way than with a good weekender bag, STRIPES included.

 

I am nowhere near having children, single over here and no men on the horizon, I do however know that when I do have a little girl, her birthday party might be on a similar level to this little's girl big day.

 

I love a scrumptious chai tea latte, so I know that a chai latte waffle is going to seriously rock my taste buds. I plan on trying out the recipe REALLY soon.

 

Actually I would love to make those chai latte waffles, while in the perfect cottage kitchen. I mean seriously where do I find a place like this.

 

Now I am huge fan of the cold and winter weather, I LOVE SNOW, but I am guilty of picking out dark colors; insert this beauty to add some color and spice up any all over black outfit.

 

I also ended my shopping hiatus last weekend after purchasing the PERFECT boyfriend jeans and white chucks.

 

Alright I am off to enjoy my weekend, see a friend who is in town for the weekend and watch the Super Bowl. Have a wonderful weekend!

 

 

I love when I find an article that really speaks to the inner career driven women in me. I love that she didn't view being single in her later twenties as the end of her life, more so she embraced the freedom and become the person she wanted to be.

 

I am not a Seahawks fan, but a commercial that sends chills down my spine and maybe okay definitely a tear down my cheek is a way to make me love those guys a little more.

 

So I am planning a trip to Europe, London and Scotland to be exact. After reading this blog post, I am certain that an afternoon at the Berkley Hotel is a must. I mean an afternoon tea with fashion as a theme.....count me in.

 

If anyone ever thought that the army could take the love of color or decorating out of the girl, clearly never saw the inside of Katie del Castillo's apartment. I mean she seriously has a knack for decorating and an amazing sense of style....she can happily come decorate my place any day.

 

Speaking of fierce females, have you ever checked out LuellaJune? If not, please run over and check out her incredible style. Also while you are at it, check out her gorgeous wedding to cowboy Cole Means II.

 

Okay, last envious female I am putting on here I swear. Heather Hansen is insanely talented. She takes the movements of her boy and creates serious works of art. It is seriously breath-taking. I would love to see her work live.

 

Does anybody else watch the Kardashians? I do from time to time and had NO idea the gorgeous interior of Kourtney's home. Even more crazy is she just finished decorating the house and is putting it up for same. I just can't.....CAN NOT imagine leaving that beautiful home.

 

Lastly I may have to give up on my shopping hiatus to pick up the perfect pair of black booties, which are on CRAZY sale and a comfy yet stylish pair of these fabulous jeans.

I think every girl needs a few good females in her life that bring out different sides of her. For me I am lucky to have a few that have most or all of these types on their own. My friend sent me this list and honestly I agree that you need most if not all of these types of ladies in your life. Thoughts? 

One look at this place and I was hooked...I mean who wouldn't want to stay in a tree house.

 

As if being one of my favorites in One Tree Hill wasn't enough...this girl is straight awesome in standing up to Urban Outfitters and their recent tee.

 

I am a self-proclaimed Sex and the City addict. Carrie Bradshaw will forever hold a special place in my heart. Starting in February I can channel my inner CB with the new shoe collection by SJP and Manolo Blanik. This video shows a mini preview of the new line.

 

Lately it has felt like when one thing goes wrong, EVERYTHING goes wrong! Thankfully before my self-pity got too strong I stumbled upon 8 Things To Remember When Everything Goes Wrong and realized how much I have to be grateful for.

 

When I was younger I was a big fan of Rice Krispie Treat cereal. Funny how I haven't thought about it in years until reading over a list of foods that are extinct...anyone else remember most if not all of these?

 

I wish I would have found this prior to my grandfathers' passing away but it is a splendid idea and wanted to pass it on. I mean grandparents really know their stuff and to have it written down would be amazing.

 

If you haven't checked out Target's Threshold line....DO IT NOW. I am lusting after this, this and definitely this.

I think I may try out cauliflower as bread this weekend with some cheesy bread sticks!

Happy Friday to you all! I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
