Friday, friday, friday!

Hello loves! How are you doing?! I am feeling a bit sad today. This weekend I will be saying goodbye to a dear friend of mine who has been staying with me for awhile. She is returning to England after about a 5 month stay here. I have gotten so used to he being here that I'm not quite sure what I'll do without her! (visiting is a must of course!) I quite like having long distance friends though. I feel as you get older it's just how it goes. Not everyone settles in the same place-- and that can often be a good thing. It gives you a couch to sleep on when you're a visitor in their town (and a tour guide as well!)

Here are some things to occupy your time...

Stylish and sexy school girl shoes.

Adorable cutting board...

Fabric love.

Fashion...don't?

I'm on the fence with this Wes Anderson film. To see or not to see (what do you think?)

Yesterday was this singers birthday...this has got to be my favorite Neil Young song

Beautiful and unique Christmas ornaments.

Felt leaf garland...soo cute!

Comfort food classic...

Cute chalkboard cheese plate idea! (via you are my fav)

Have a lazy weekend!

hello dears! What are you up to this fine weekend? I am planning on ceasing these beautiful sunny days and spending some time outdoors! Nothing jotted down in my calendar or anything, which is how I like to spend my weekends, laid back and lazy. Hope you are doing the same. I feel like the last couple of months of the year can get pretty stressful, so taking time to yourself can be very important. Have a lovely next couple of days! x

Here are somethings to help you procrastinate...

Inspiration: All the Luck in the World

Do you ever run across people who seem to do it all?! They're creative, inspirational and just down right talented. Well this is the general feeling I get when looking at All the Luck in the World (ATLITW)'s flickr photostream and online store. Everything is so beautiful and colorful that you can't help but want to jump inside some of these photos. I have to admit these kinds of people make me slightly jealous...It is clear that they are doing exactly what they should be doing and that is, well, pretty lucky...

Weekend time: Happy Halloween!

Hello my loves! What kind of halloween activities are you all getting into this weekend?! Tonight I have a couple of options for parties, although I am not sure which I will attend. A part of me wants to save my energy for tomorrow. I do know that I am finally carving pumpkins later on today (the snow delayed everything) and that is very exciting! Tomorrow night, we are having a big costume party with a dj at my friend Marisa's house! It should be tons of fun! What are you going to be? (I love hearing everyones costume ideas!) I am being this.

Here are a few things I can't stop looking at...

loving this photographer at the moment (via Bliss)

beautiful tape...

making these two recipes asap! (yummmy!)

Speaking of tree houses...this one is crazy!

Putting this item on my Christmas list... (look at the beautiful photos it takes!)

Photographer Max Wagner now has a limited edition shop!

Links to inspiration...

Anthropologie goes international!

A deep thought that is a constant reality at the moment...

Pretty packaging! (also here)

Thinking Christmas cards...(all this snow is making me think it is later in the season!)

Iceland...

A very cool display idea! (via daydream lily)

Have a whimsical weekend...

Hello my dears! Yes, it is finally the weekend and although I just went on vacation, I am exhausted! This weekend I am working a bit (gotta catch up!) and laying low. No official plans except for getting a few final little pieces to complete my Halloween costume and perhaps a little pumpkin patch grazing.

Here are some lovely recipes, clothes and nic-nacs to swoon over in the mean time!

I'm not crying over this spilled milk (perhaps lusting!)

100 Abandoned Houses.

beautiful stamps.

Yum, yum and yum!

Maybe I can zap these kids clothes and make them my size!

Loving this unique necklace. (p.s. Magpies are the state bird of New Mexico. They were everywhere!)

Comfy cozy cardigan.

This Swedish kettle is cute as a button!

A hand-stitched camera case...adorable. (via swiss-miss)

Girl Scout chic!

This might quite possibly the most creative resume ever...

Feeling down? This blog never fails to cheer me up.

What do you know about water?

Style stealing: Textures

I am loving all the textures in this outfit! The color combination is quite basic but this is far from boring...
