January Around The Web

Happy almost February! Per usual, here are a few of my favorites from around the web this past month. I'm happy to see the iridescent trend seems to be here to stay. I loved Aww, Sam's roundup of 10 Iridescent/Holographic Things You Need. Enjoy some other links below!

• Love this Valentine's Day idea!

• I discovered Sarah Illenberger's work this month

• Vintage photos are always intriguing, and these of Paris are no exception

• I have been cooking more than normal lately, and this linguine recipe was one of my favorite finds!

• Ashley Goldberg's Valentine's Day Collection for Hallmark Signature is just lovely

• Dreaming of a weekend in Nashville

• My sister and I will be traveling to Italy in July and we just booked all of our hotels! This one may be my favorite. I can't wait to share this trip on the blog!

Stella McCartney Spring 2016

Today I found myself extremely inspired by Stella McCartney's Spring 2016 collection. These are just a few pieces that caught my eye, but the whole collection is definitely worth admiring. I don't anticipate that I will find it within my budget to actually purchase any of these pieces, but I am obsessed with the playful patterns and beadwork. Enjoy!

December Around The Web

I love discovering and being inspired by artists online. This month I discovered Kristi Kohut, and simultaneously fell in love with her bold brush strokes. Below is one of my favorites, as well as a few other links I discovered this month:

• If only I had time to make this before my New Year's celebration...

• A fun peek into Jenna Lyon's world. 

• The styling of this photo shoot was just so lovely. 

• I had so much fun being a part of this workshop for Think.Make.Share.!

• I would LOVE to purchase one of Tiff Manuell's clutches. 

• The new Star Wars movie has me wanting this adorable BB-8 Itty Bitty.

• If you haven't listened to Limetown, Season 1 is now complete and ready for binge-listening.

• I'm excited to see how the Pantone Colors of the Year are used in 2016!

Favorite Costume Ideas

Halloween is right around the corner and I have started to brainstorm ideas for my costume this year. While I have promised my husband I will be Burt Macklin and Janet Snakehole from Parks and Rec on Halloween night, Friday night may require a costume as well! At the moment I am leaning toward the cactus idea. I can't get enough of Studio DIY's costumes!  (Last year I dressed up as a champagne bottle based off one of Kelly's ideas.) I know I will stumble upon many more amazing costume ideas in the coming weeks, but go ahead and enjoy some of my favorites!

Disco Ball | Cactus | Waldo & Wenda | The Giving Tree | Pantone Colors
