HAPPY FRIDAY + SOME LINKS

Happy Friday my friends! 

Hope your short week was great.  It's funny because I definitely enjoyed the extra day off this week but then fitting everything into a four days is just a little too much scrambling! I'm looking forward to a busy weekend ahead.  Most of my weekend will be spent organizing, doing some cleaning out, and getting my shop all restocked and in order for October approaching.  Once October hits theres noooo going back! It always seems like endless excitement, events, and orders as the holidays draw near.  I am so looking forward to this time of year.

As always a few favorites from the week:

*Just loving the colors and textures in this photo

*A beautiful bouquet to serve as painting inspiration!

*An inspiring, artful Wes Anderson inspired wedding

*These fringe boots are ridiculously cute and a good price

*This pleated jumper from UO, I love the look of long sleeves or a turtle neck under a cute dress for fall

*Another colorful, textural, inspiring pin

*The sperry duck boots are so comfortable (they were my life in Iceland) and I'm loving this new color!

*I started a new Vintage board on pinterest for all my random finds

*Society 6 is offering a free shipping promo right now, follow this link to receive the deal

*And in case you missed my post yesterday, I added six new prints to my shop and have some older designs on sale for only $10!

SUN DOWN

Cami and I took a little sunset trip to Lido earlier this week to take photos and just relax on the beach.  I can't wait to share the ones of her but for now, here are a few she snapped of me! This evening was so pretty.  My jewelry and belt are vintage.  The skirt is from Target.

FREESTYLE : VOLUME 4 // STREET ART + COLOR POPS

 I've always been a huge fan of graffiti art.  There is just something so fun and energetic about the style and array of colors.  How great is the giant lizard? Just look at how graphic and intricate his design is. This pop of blue in Cami's dress was perfection.  These were taken last week when we were location scouting around downtown Sarasota.  We discovered lots of little back alleys and side streets with all kinds of awesome stuff happening...many hidden treasures in the Rosemary District.

STYLED: CAMILYN BETH X SHANNON KIRSTEN VOLUME 03

This week's post was such a fun remix of the style shoots Cami and I have been doing together.  This is actually a little sneak peek of what is to come in her fall line...I mean a very tiny preview, she's got a lot of great stuff cookin' up folks!  These shoots have been so much fun for us...it's inspiring to work with one of my best friends (especially since she is someone who just oozes creativity and great ideas), we've been exploring new places, and have time in between to just chat, catch up, and throw ideas back and forth.  It's always nice to step away from the computer and out of the office to do something extra that inspires you. I hope you guys are liking these as much as we are! Keep an eye out for next weeks, it's awesome.  xx

SPRING SHOWERS

Sweater : Gap / Necklace : Anthropologie / Jeans: BDG via Urban Outiftters / Boots : Hunter via Nordstrom / Umbrella : Target

So it really only rained for like a nanosecond on Monday.  But it was while I was getting ready to do my errands so it seemed right to force the wearing of my Hunter boots (any chance / excuse to wear them, I do).  There is something about this sweater that I can't get enough of.  It's so cozy and I wish I would have purchased it in every color available from Gap. Also, these last few pics are a little sneak peek of the new black wall in my entry way.  I quite like it.
