Abby Try Again

My current desktop background from abby try again. I've blogged about her before, but I can't get enough of her beautiful work. Check out her blog here, or shop for your favorite print!

Psst... I've posted photos from our weekend adventures in the mountains over here.

Just Darling

Out of the many many photos I've browsed through this morning... I am feeling most inspired by these. So soft and romantic.

[Eye Candy]

Yesterday was a big day for me. It was my last day working at the record label that I've been at for nearly three years. I am very excited for a new adventure - pursuing my background//passion in the fashion industry - but will dearly miss all of the great people that I've had the privilege to work with.

Since, amidst the craziness, I missed my weekly Fashion Friday post, I thought I'd give you some fashion eye candy for the weekend.

A Fine Mess

This has been a very melancholy week for me. I saw this picture and it seemed to fit my mood nicely. I have so many different emotions right now - excited, happy, peaceful, content, frustrated, anxious, sad, nervous, thankful and more... the list could go on and on. Overall, I'm feeling great but a little all over the map. How are you feeling this week?

[I Do]

This wedding is sooo dreamy. My breath was literally taken away when I saw these gorgeous photos by Jose Villa {who also took these incredible wedding pictures of our friends Tec & Chelsea}.

Red Prairie Press

Love this quirky art from Rachel Bone of Red Prairie Press.

Wasting The Day Away...

I am quite excited to have stumbled across Aimee Han's blog, Cavaan, from the UO fashion blog. She is barely 18 and takes the most heavenly photographs... I've spent far too much time admiring page by page of the lovely Cavaan. So inspiring.

[Fashion] Summertime Favorites

These days I'm so into dresses - they are easy, comfortable and cute! My current favorite look is above - a colorful vintage dress found at a thrift shop, vintage leather booties that my hubs found for me and new glasses spotted on sale at UO for just $5.

Lots Of {New} Lately

I just realized that I haven't posted any pictures from recent adventures... so this post will hopefully make up for my lack of personability {does that even make sense?}. Lately... One of my best friends turned 25 and we partied at our place, the hubs and I went to Atlanta with my bro-and-sis-in-law, I started an online shop, I went to my very first Red Sox game, my dear family came for a visit, we bought a new car {to replace this} and I put in my two weeks notice at my job. Lots of pretty big things, I'd say.

So... what's new with you?

F-a-l-l

I am so ready for fall. Okay, well maybe just after our last-minute beach trip {in two weeks!}. I'm craving pumpkin spice lattes, colorful leaves, chunky sweaters, cool breezes and lots and lots of layers.

Here's To Happiness {My Version}

Several months back I shared my excitement of winning my very first contest with you. I won this amazing wallpaper by Julia Rothman for Hygge & West. Well, when I was working on my happy list today, I immediately noticed myself jotting down many of the things I had shared for that contest {ironically, that wallpaper almost made the Top 10}. So without further ado, here is my list of 10 things that make me terribly happy:


1. a rainy evening curled up on the couch with my hubs and a bowl of campbell's tomato soup
2. a guilty pleasure read {currently: emily giffin's baby proof} under the comfy duvet in our bedroom
3. saturday morning garage sales
4. a piggyback ride getting lost in the middle of nowhere
5. surprising my cute hubs with his favorite candy {gummy bears, of course}
6. spending hours doing absolutely nothing
7. scouring thrift stores for the perfect dress
8. walking to the local coffee shop for a toasted sesame bagel with lots and lots of cream cheese
9. dreaming up new decorating ideas for our first home
10. the look on my happy husband's face when i started reading harry potter

[Terrible Yellow Eyes]

Are you as excited as I am for the Where The Wild Things Are movie? I am so looking forward to it coming out this fall. It's so fun and magical to see something from my childhood being brought to life. My cute hubs passed along this great blog he found titled Terrible Yellow Eyes.

Terrible Yellow Eyes is a collection of works inspired by the beloved classic, and over the coming weeks, contributing artists will be growing a fantastic collection of pieces to pay homage to author Maurice Sendak's life and legacy.
