Friday's Fancies

If I were going out for drinks tonight on a swanky patio downtown, here's what I'd wear:


love. color.



 Have fun all you luckies who don't have to work this weekend! ;) 

Check out all the other fanciers at the Friday's Fancies party at Long Distance Loving!

Blog Crush: Lay Baby Lay

I absolutely love an inspiring nursery. I'm always collecting inspiration in the "someday" file! So imagine coming across a whole trove of incredible, inspirational designs in a sweetly-designed blog, to boot!

Lay, Baby, Lay just rocks my socks! The looks presented are not overly babyish, and more often than not, feature great items that would transition nicely to a more grownup room or to other places in a stylish home.

For example, I fell completely in love with the "professor jr." look:

I was totally smitten by the nerdy baby vibe. ;) And all of the pieces are so re-purposable...

Equally impressive are the variety of looks that are featured. Regardless of your baby decorating aesthetic, you'll find a design that will make you smile. 

Go check it out! Happy Friday browsing! :)

Blog Crush: The Golden Diamonds

I came across Doina's blog, The Golden Diamonds and I've seriously found a new fashion obsession. This girl has incredible style and I've been reading through back posts of her blog for the last few days, not wanting to miss a single post.


I particularly love this outfit. It's so stylish and yet so recreate-able. The green purse is genius.

I've been trying to restrain myself from pinning practically the whole blog to Pinterest. ;) There is so much inspiration to be had, so be sure to check her blog out!

A Sofa, Styled

I still am really obsessed with this sofa from Anthropologie.

What I might do with it if it became mine:


Love That Sofa


Pair it up with a bunch of eclectic pieces (like those pretty peacock feather pillows) and call it good!

If you had this sofa, how would you style it?

What I Wish I Wore Wednesday

I'm not feeling well, so this post is going to be about an outfit I wish I was wearing today! A.k.a. - not feeling yucky and in my pajamas. ;)

Today I wish I was wearing this. Mouse over each item for details!


Get The Look

Get The Look by Sarah @ Comfort and Joy


I love this outfit because it pulls a lot of trends together (stripes, boyfriend jeans, nerd glasses, color blocks) without making its wearer look like a walking fashion emergency. That takes some skill right there!

It's cute, casual and super fun. I could see myself wearing this for a variety of occasions and reasons. :)

What also appealed to me is that I basically have all the pieces for this outfit and I could re-create it without much shopping. I steal Garrett's jeans for the boyfriend look, I've got about 4 striped shirts, have green flats. I'd just need to pick up (probably thrift) a pink cardigan or blazer and I'd have this outfit made! If Kendi can thrift a pink blazer, I bet I can, too, right? ;)

The Home Centric on Etsy

Recently I came across The Home Centric shop on Etsy. Talk about pillow heaven at absolutely affordable prices!


While some other shops tend to be sparse with offerings, The Home Centric shop is bursting with an incredible selection of designs. Here are some of my favorites:






















I love the attention to detail that has gone into these pillows! There's fun texture and depth imparting luxury to every single design. Hopefully I'll have an excuse to order from this shop soon. ;)

Which one is your favorite?

Cocoa & Hearts

I'm loving Cocoa & Hearts, Jen Ramos' new collection of original artwork for sale. I've adored her lipstick dots painting for ages and I'm excited that her pieces are now available for purchase.

Isn't she talented??

Stay tuned for a second round of paintings that will be coming to the shop shortly, including some smaller pieces. :) Also, check out her blog. It's one of the first few that I started reading when I joined the blogosphere.
