Happy Weekend

Boy, am I tired today. I'm so glad the weekend is nearly here. I'm up for some serious relaxation! And thanks to this adorable print by Love Sugar, I'm reminded that I should make time for hanging out with my favorite peeps.

Have a great weekend!

Simply Gorgeous

Fashion is bringing a lot of exciting trends this year. But what I'm probably happiest about is a return to minimalism. I've always been drawn to clean lines and simple shapes, so it will be neat to see how this plays out in the way people dress.

TSE's resort 2011 collection is a good example of this aesthetic. Aren't the unfussy silhouettes and precise tailoring gorgeous?

Glam Tuesday

When I saw the September issue of Elle, I was blown away by the gorgeous photos of Julia Roberts. Three different shoots represented the three locations in Eat, Pray, Love. All were gorgeous, by I couldn't stop staring at this one:

Here's wishing everyone an utterly glamorous Tuesday!

Home Sweet Home

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was a lot of fun. It was so nice to get away and see family, yet it was wonderful to be home again. Ahh, there really is no place like your own place.

When I saw this gorgeous home on MadeByGirl, I made note of it. I knew I'd want to return to it for inspiration. Isn't it lovely? Aren't those dashes of yellow fantastic? I doubt anyone could be in a bad mood living here.

Take a look:

Happy Weekend

Whew! The week has flown by and I'm so glad the weekend is here. We're off for a big family get-together up north. I'm looking forward to catching up with loved ones, eating lots of food and laughing constantly. The plan is to go to the beach tomorrow if it's nice out or go for a long hike if it isn't. And if things go as normal, dinner will stretch out into cocktails and later we'll walk into town for some dancing. But no matter what we do, I'm grateful for the promise of an effortless, carefree, fun few days ahead.

Happy weekend to all!

Prints Charming

I love the graphic quality of these pillow cases and towels by Branch Handmade. The images are quirky and beautiful and definitely add personality to everyday items. Enjoy!

Minor Obsession

I love delicate jewelry. Thin chains, tiny jewels -- the kind of pieces that don't scream out for attention but are beautiful when you catch a glimpse of them. And if they rest along the collarbone, that's perfection.

Edor jewelry (pleasantly discovered via A Cup of Joe) is exactly this kind. Here are a few gorgeous small pieces I've fallen for:
