HAPPY HALLOWEEN + SOME LINKS

Halloween weekend is here, yay! 

Do you still dress up? 

It's my favorite. Hunter is always a good sport and will dress up with me, so that makes it more fun! His parents started having an annual party a few years back, so looking forward to that.  It is also the weekend we met four years ago! Man time flies. We will be celebrating at our favorite restaurant tonight. 

Some halloween related favorites from this week: 

*DIY gold leaf pumpkins via Free People 

*Halloween wedding inspiration via Green Wedding Shoes 

*A fall colored bouquet, painting / color inspiration!

*Love these crazy but pretty Halloween makeup ideas

*I think this is my favorite couples costume I've seen on Pinterest

*Beautiful fall decor // fireplace with pumpkins

And a few non-Halloween: 

*Ted Baker floral luggage, come home to me!

*Love the colors and composition of this photo, more painting / palette inspo!

*Gucci S/S '16 is still KILLING me, all those sheer pastels and ruffles

*Can I have this in my backyard please?

*This embroidered dress from Zara, now on my wishlist

AND since this is one of my favorite weekends of the year I decided to offer a special little discount just for the weekend.  Use code 'HAPPY' for 15% off through Sunday.  Shop my prints and stationery right here

HI! It's Friday! 

Hope y'all had a wonderful week.  Mine's been filled with painting like crazy and a couple really amazing photo shoots. It's been rainy all week so if that continues through the weekend I will use my time to continue working on holiday products! Really excited to share some new things soon.

Happy Friday y'all!  This has been a week filled with wedding projects and wrapping up some 'day of' decor for my fall brides.  I've also started on holiday items, I'm quite excited about them.  Even though I'm technically behind in stationery world, this is the most ahead I've been since adding greeting cards to my collection last year. It feels weird to even think of Christmas right now! It has certainly pushed my creative limits lately since I was so far from being in holiday mode.  A challenge is always welcomed though.  Stay tuned for some exciting news and more Iceland photos after the weekend! 

As usual, some favorites: 

*Fashion buyers picks for Fall via The Coveteur - swoooning!

*Frida Kahlo at the NY Botanical Gardens, looks so pretty! I'm hoping to make it when I'm there in October.

*These are looking like the perfect black flats for fall

*This picture, because... [heart eye emoji]

*Lace Free People dress, so beautiful and comes in four colors. The green would be a perfect holiday party dress

*This Valentino floral print is beyond gorgeous, one can dream...

*This color palette

HAPPY FRIDAY + SOME LINKS

As of late, the end of the week comes and I'm like 'how is it already Friday?!'  I have to say, I am a little sad to come to the end of August. Where did summer go? My happiness resides in the fact that fall is a wonderful and exciting time of year (to clarify; I do not like summer, the Florida heat and humidity is a little much for me. ha. So I'm not sad to see that wind down, just incredibly baffled how this year is flying)  I feel like once September hits and the excitement of the holidays just makes it even more non-stop.  

Ok, enough rambling and on to some of my favorites from the week:

*This wall for a walk in closet, so fun

*Flowy caftan dresses are my favorite, I love these from Free People, pink and blue

*This post about letting your partner dress you made me laugh and of course I had to experiment (out of curiosity) on Hunter. ha

*This sneak peek of Asos Christmas has me pretty excited

*Cozy fall feelings 

*I have this bag from Free People and it's been amazing to hold all my junk and I often use the clutch for nights out, obsessed with this new color 

*Rose Gold strappy sandals by Ted Baker

*Another interesting read on Man Repeller, are illustrators the new fashion bloggers?

*This office is lovely

Savor your weekend, ok? I hope it's a great one!

Hope you all had a wonderful week! I'm working hard to wrap up projects lately and add new work to my portfolio.  We are heading to Tampa tonight to see some of our favorite bands play with friends.  I'm looking forward to a fun evening and then catching up on more work the rest of the weekend. 

And of course, some favorites from this week: 

*Dying over this little Marc Jacobs backpack, the poppy red color is irresistible!

HAPPY FRIDAY : SHOP UPDATES + SOME LINKS

Happy Friday! 

This week was crazy and just flew by.  I'm not usually extra excited about a weekend because most days during the week are pretty fun, however I am looking forward to relaxing on Saturday before another busy week begins.  Spring has definitely arrived here in Florida, the weather and my growing list of projects / upcoming jobs says so at least!  I'm excited for a new season but always a little sad to part with "winter" since we really never have cool weather for long.  Sorry, but I just like to layer and wear sweaters.  ha.

Anyways, here are some articles I LOVED this week and a few items I have my eye on...

XO 

- This article on negativity online by Design*Sponge - A really important read for... well, anyone.  If you're an internet based business, social media lover, blogger, blog reader/commenter...read!
- Another article I found important and lovely, "Are you beautiful?". 

-I'm obsessed with going to the Madonna Inn, loved the photos of this quirky hotel on A Beautiful Mess

-Think I'm going to need this dress from Free People, but black or salmon?! Who could decide!

-I bought this today because I'm silly and it's adorable

-Gray Malin's collaboration with Sperry, dying. Hoping I can convince Hunter we need matching.

-Inspired by this palette on Pinterest

-This outrageously amazing Las Vegas wedding 

-Finally, this blue crab print and a couple Easter cards are up in my shop!
