Instagram prints.

4 Comments Posted by on January 24, 2012

My instagram addiction merged with my paper addiction after I found out about printstagram. The site makes mini prints of your instagram pictures that look like small Polaroids, and you can get a set of 48 for just $12. My mind is buzzing with ideas for what to do with them now that they’ve arrived!

Out in the open.

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted some room pictures on this site; sometimes I forget that collecting interior inspiration was how my blog got its start. So I’m getting back to my roots today to share a gorgeous kitchen from Country Living. Open shelves styled with white dishware gets me every time — I love how functional this kitchen looks while still evoking such style. What do you think, are you into open shelving in the kitchen?

Find the difference.

Can you tell the difference between these two shoes? The first pair is from Kate Spade, and I was obsessed with them last Summer — but couldn’t hit ‘add to cart’  because they were a little out of my budget, and then promptly sold out! The second pair? Those are from Old Navy and cost $22. All I can say is… ‘add to cart’.

Black and white ribbon.

I’m having so much fun starting to pull together inspiration for our wedding. Sure, we don’t have a date or a venue yet, but that doesn’t mean I’m not already brainstorming details like flowers and decorations. There are so many gorgeous pictures to pull from online that it can be hard to hone your vision, so I’ve started making mini-inspiration boards for different aspects of the wedding. One detail that I have my heart set on is black and white striped ribbon incorporated into the flowers; I absolutely love how the big bows look wrapped around the stems.

Spotty Sunday.

There is nothing more satisfying to me than finding a cute piece of clothing for a major steal. And when I get  a great score like this, I have to share! I found myself in Kohl’s this weekend, turning up my nose at that idea that I could find anything cute in there — but out of the corner of my eye I was drawn to polka dots and ended up snagging an adorable silky swing tank for just $20. I liked it so much I already wore it to brunch this morning. And, I’ll admit when I’m wrong — there are cute things at Kohl’s!

My wardrobe is in a mid-winter slump and while browsing for a few inexpensive pick-me-ups  I found this adorable sweater from Old Navy. Animal prints at a mighty fine price — looks like this one is going to be mine!

Pasta night.

2 Comments Posted by on January 4, 2012

Over the holiday weekend one of my friends hosted a pasta-making get together. I’ve never made fresh pasta before — it seemed way too complicated for me — but I was happily surprised to see it wasn’t too difficult at all! I helped with the dough making process, but my expertise was really in the eating portion of the night. I could have had a dozen servings, it was so delicious!

New Years Eve.

I snapped a few pictures on my phone on before guests arrived on New Years Eve. It was a fun-filled night with good friends and bubbly drinks. I’m still working on my resolutions for this year; I need a few days to recover from celebrating first!

Big Big News!

20 Comments Posted by on January 2, 2012

I hinted to a little a surprise in my last post, and now I’m ready to share my big news! The week before Christmas my boyfriend and I took a quick getaway to Quebec City for some relaxing before the holidays. And on the first night we arrived he proposed in the snow in front of our hotel as we were walking to dinner!  It was the perfect setting for an amazing surprise. The best part was that we’ve been able to spend the last week celebrating with friends and family. I’m already scheming away with color palettes and crafty ideas, so expect to see a little bit of wedding chatter on the blog in 2012!

Happy New Year! I’m hosting a party tonight and am taking a quick break to post this before putting the finishing touches on my decorations. I’ve had a nice little blog break, a relaxing holiday, and a very good end to the year. I’ll be back to kick off 2012 tomorrow with some very exciting news! Until then, CHEERS!
