Do Tell All…

I’m not sure if I’ve told my blog audience this or not, but I’m super excited to announce that in late September I will be attending the NYC blogshop hosted by none other than Joanna of Cup of Jo. Needless to say,
I’M PUMPED!!!
In order to prepare, I’d love to get to know you better! Who are you people?:) What do you like? If you would please take this quick survey (only 7 questions!), even if this is your very first time to visit I would really appreciate it. The survey is 100% anonymous, so please speak up!
Thank you SO much in advance, I’m looking forward to telling gushing all about the blogshop in a few weeks!

P.S. The survey will stay up all week!

Beautiful Camera

I’m all about gold these days. Thus, camera love right here.  That is all. 

P.S. You can probably find a really similar one on Amazon, where I stumbled upon this!

Tourmaline Necklace

Happy Monday! This weekend/week has become unexpectedly busy, so posting might be really light!
For now,  go ahead and adore this gorgeous tourmaline necklace.  Natural rock and vintage gold chain? Count me in.

Pear Savory Tart

I have been keeping with my New Year’s resolution of making an extravagant meal once a month (promise!) I just haven’t been good at getting the pictures up and posted. The other night, for my dad’s birthday I made a Julia Child themed meal and served this pear blue cheese tart with salad as an appetizer. It was so delicious. I highly recommend you try it out, it would be perfect for a light luncheon!

Tattoo Sleeves

I have this strange obsession with tattoo sleeves…I’m so into them! I don’t have any tattoos (too permanent) but I admire those with enough guts and personal style to pull them off, especially huge, shocking sleeves of them! What do you think of tattoo sleeves, amazingly awesome or super trashy? I’d love to know- have a I lost my mind on this one??:)

Sparkles

one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten

J. Crew Ballerinas

Cashmere sweaters aren’t really my thing, so the fact that the J. Crew September issue makes me want to buy one is definitely saying something. The editors/photographers of J Crew cast ballerinas from the Yakobson and Mariinksy ballet schools in Russia (think Anna Pavlova and Mikhail Baryshnikov) as models for their September shoot. GENIUS MARKETING. These girls are so beautiful and elegant, and now I really want a sweater so I can be a Russian ballerina too.

Design*Sponge Crafternoon

I’m not sure if anything could be more Emily Elliott- Design*Sponge, Crafts, THE LIBRARY. Of course I sent in my RSVP already.  Any New York friends want to come with me? Let me know!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Happy Birthday to you dearest Father! Thanks for putting up with us, we know it’s exhausting.

You’re my hero! I love you! Xo!

Beautiful Things

Blown away by the online shop Beautiful Things—They have the perfect combination of bright, vintage, and homey going on. I especially love the drum stool on the bottom, but I would take the whole room:)

Ombre

Adoring the ombre look that seems to be everywhere these days.

(P.S. You could totally DIY on some items!)

DisneyBound

I’m risking being the only one who finds this interesting, but there are just some things that make me too completely happy not to share.
Disney Bound is a tumblr that features, wait for it, DISNEY FASHION SPREADS (!!!!).  The spreads aren’t just limited to Disney characters, but also include rides, theme parks, everything!  It’s like playing dress up for grownups.  Sigh, purely awesome. 
Above (like they needs introduction) Peter Pan, Aurora, Lady, Giselle, The Tower of Terror, Ariel, and Chip.

Nerd Boyfriend

Nerd Boyfriend featuring Muppets Annie Hall and a young Mick Jagger. Some things are too good to be true!

Weekend!

Have a fabulous weekend!

Instant Comfort

Happy Friday! These little Instant Comfort Pocket Boxes are the cutest pick me up I’ve ever seen. How fun would it be to carry them around and give out to your friends?! Seriously, I’m gushing.
