Spin me

If I crotched or knitted, I'd be all over this yarn.

Date Night

My man and I had a lovely Friday night date night. He took me to this charming little pasta restaurant where we sat next to one another in a booth, laughed by candlelight and filled our bellies with the most yummiest of food. 

Coffee Date Outfit

I am completely in love with this couple (Bri Emery + her man) and her coffee date outfit. She put together each piece so perfectly.

PS. I'm also desperatly in love with her crazy messy hair. I secretly want it.

Dreamland

Just a photo of my man-boy from over the weekend. Isn't he dreamy? (:

(Please disregard the silly 80's throwback watch I keep giving him a hard time for. Doesn't it look like it needs a calculator? :)

Unusual Art

When I first saw these photos I thought, "Wow, taking it back to the impressionistic era". Nope. These are embroidered photos. High-five Daniel Kornrumpf!

I wanna hold your hand.

In the past 3 weeks, I've seen my sweet boyfriend a total of about 4 hours. He comes home tonight from a family vacay (they went out west! excited to see all the pics!). So, in honor of his homecoming, here's some pics of him making funny faces. (:

(p.s. Yes, that was  beatles reference.)

Happy Monday!

Our girls weekend in the Highlands was a major success! (Except for when I almost stepped on a snake. Eekk!) Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. 

Girls Weekend!

Tomorrow, I am headed up to the Highlands in NC! My mom's bff and her husband own a home up in the mountains and we have the privilege of using it this weekend! SO excited. It's been almost a month since I've seen my mom so it should be a good time. Hiking, good food and I've talked my mom into watching the Hangover. Should be fun! Here's some links that I've been loving on...

Loving TOMS new One for One movement. I think I'm going to save up and buy these.

Summer love. (Havin' a blast... (: )

Sailboat Popsicle!

What a great summer top! Maybe for a picnic?!

Love this out-of-the-ordinary bookcase.

My mom and I are trying this magic juice this weekend. 

Loving this blondie and her fashion blog.

What a romantic trip to Paris. 

Bonjour, mon amour

Back in 2005, I took advantage of a fantastic opportunity of studying abroad. I lived in France for 3 months; it was one of the best chapters of my life. Ever since then, I've been itching to go back. I just about squealed in my seat when I saw that Jordan, over at Oh Happy Day, is giving away a trip to Paris! I have my fingers crossed and my wallet closed to save spending money! (:

Killer Type

Have you seen Carolyn Sewell’s Postcard to My Peeps? Oh my goodness, so funny, witty and killer hand-drawn type!

Painting Inspiration

Man, oh man am I happy I found out about Michelle Armas. Once Wed posted a beautiful image of one of Armas' paintings and my jaw dropped. I am now in love. I feel I'm in a painting rut, unfortunately, and feeling a little lost as to what to do about it. I don't quite think I've found my 'niche' yet. So, until then, I'll keep looking for inspiration while ooing and ahing.
