pillow - tassel earrings - photo - tory burch earring - rug - quote

Lately I'm loving and inspired by deep, lush, rich green.  Lusting over this pillow from Amber's shoppe, those Kenneth Jay Lane tassel earrings, and an old favorite rug in a new favorite color.

This weekend is all about progress, reflection, and tackling long-overdue to-do's.

all those things

And discovered this website- The Everygirl, created by Alaina Kaczmarski and Danielle Moss... it is gorgeously designed, and full of great articles, resources, downloads, and lots of other fun stuff.  I really love the interview series that they do with various successful creative women.  Definitely worth taking a look at!

Feeling the need for some black and white this Wednesday night... ever effortless and consistently chic.

Wishing you a slightly strange and absolutely amazing tomorrow.

shoesday tuesday

1 - 2 - 3 - 4

This Tuesday, I'm LOVING these Rag & Bone booties... way over budget but I'm thinking it's okay to dream on shoesday.  In a perfect world, with a perfect closet, this is how I'd wear them.

I'm currently enjoying a perfect end to my Tuesday, reruns of Friends coupled with Rioja and the roommate.

Hope your shoesday is just as lovely!

this week - on instagram

I realize I'm a little late to the party, but I am currently loving/obsessed with Instagram...

Hope you had a fabulous weekend!  I'm very much enjoying the gorgeous weather... lots of strolling about while plotting projects and future movement.

brass brass brass

Lately, I am OBSESSED with brass accents.... it pretty much looks amazing everywhere, but I'm especially loving it as kitchen hardware and in any sort of glass/lucite combination.

I came across this new hardware line this weekend...and now all I can think about is doing a total revamp of my tiny kitchen- new white cabinets, this hardware.  Obviously not going to happen in a rental and on my limited budget, but I can dream, right?

Ahh love them all- top image is my absolute favorite.  What do you think?  Hope you are all having a lovely Tuesday...thank goodness for short weeks!

color crush : tangerine

This week I am totally crushing on tangerine, in all shades/tints/hues... bright and saturated or pale and soft, I want it integrated into every part of my day!

Happy weekend everyone...  hope you have lots of bright things planned... enjoy!

color reform

Ever since reading this post, I haven't stopped thinking about these rugs!

How gorgeous are they?  I adore the combination of something so traditional with colors so bright and unexpected... so unique!  Turns out, they sell similar rugs at one of my all time favorite stores, ABC Carpet & Home.  (It's like a wonderland in there... I can't afford anything, but I can't get enough of wandering around!!)

The line of rugs is called Color Reform...they take vintage carpets, remove the color, and then over-dye them in these gorgeous colors.  Each piece is one of a kind... I love them!! I think my favorite is the last image... still an interesting color, but at the same time sort of safe / neutral.

What do you think?

exciting things

Perfect end to a Thursday:  my washi tape arrived!

so pretty!!

And for your Friday viewing pleasure:  a Pinterest round-up... it was a stripey/bold-colored sort of week.
