Pink + Gold.

I’m one of those stationery shoppers that will spend hours looking at every single card in the aisle until I find the perfect one. I love this hot pink card with the gold lettering from sugar paper — it’s so pretty you could frame it. I better get started on my card hunt this weekend, have you bought your Valentine’s Day cards yet?

Valentine’s day fashion

Valentine’s Day is just a week away! I won’t be throwing a big party like I did last year, but that doesn’t mean I won’t dress the part. I’ll find any excuse to rock my ban.do heart and break out pinks and reds from my closet. But not everyone is ready for a full on pink and red color assault, so I put together two heart-inspired outfits that are little more subtle. Do you have any heart accessories picked out special for Valentine’s Day?

I’m getting ready for the Super Bowl in a few hours and whipped up some rice krispy treats using cocoa krispies instead and cut them into mini-football shapes. YUM! Hope your Super Bowl Sunday is filled with tasty snacks!

Jewelry for your shoes.

It’s Friday, people! And Fridays call for a little extra dazzle to kick the weekend off right. Which is why I’m sharing some incredibly adorable shoe clips from Jackie Valentine with you today. As accessory obsessed as I am, I’ve never actually tried shoe clips.This might be the final frontier of my bauble addiction — jewels for your shoes. Tell me, are you a shoe clip girl? How do you they feel on?Shoe clips via Jackie Valentine

Bow headbands.

The lovely Shannon posted an adorable tortoiseshell headband yesterday, and it sent me on a hunt to find one of my own. I found a whole collection by L.Erickson that are making my preppy heart thump — all that’s missing is a pair of big pearl studs to complete the look. Would you rock a big bow headband?

Bright and bold.

Perhaps its that Valentine’s day is just around the corner and I’m in a mood for hearts? Or perhaps it’s the idea of mixing a drink off that bar cart that appeals to me? Either way, I’m feeling this little nook today. I love the bright red and pink hues and all of the bold pattern — it’s loud in the very best way.

Instagram prints.

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.
