Crazy Cat Lady

Yep- I am one. I'm loving Zara's cute kitty-printed dress. It's a little more subtle than the ladies that wear puff-painted cat sweatshirts, right? Right. And to really drive home the crazy cat lady point, here are some pics of my baby Ellie Mae. Happy Monday all!

Fashion Fix Friday

Its Friday!!! Yay! I can't wait to spend this weekend with my honey going to the movies and
a friends wedding (and sneaking in some crafting, baking & wedding planning.)
I love Fridays- the promise of a whole relaxing productive weekend stretches ahead!

Ok, enough waxing poetic, on to the fashion goodies. I was checking my fave blogs last night and stopped by Love Maegan... I adore this blog! Maegan is so cute, always has the best outfit ideas and DIY fashion tips, and has AWESOME hair how-to videos. Seriously. Check her out here- she's a daily read for me.

So, yesterday for Earth Day, she featured these amazingly gorgeous pieces from Mika Organic. I literally gasped when I saw them. How original & beautiful. The cuts of the garments are so simple and clean. And yet, I have never seen anything like them. Not only are they beautiful, the line is earth friendly: made from organic and sustainably made materials and plant dyed. How divine! Thank you Maegan for the heads up! And visit Mika Organic to see the full drool-worthy collection.

Have a great weekend!

Lonny Loveliness

EEEEK! Its back again- the online shelter publication sensation Lonny. And this newest issue does not disappoint! I have been trying to work on our house bit by bit. Right now I'm a little obsessed with little tableaus- clusters of knick-knacks, book, art, etc on table tops. This issue is chock-full of great ideas for groupings. Check it out here. Have a beautiful day!

Love the Rhino head- I have been seeing faux taxidermy everywhere. So cute for a kids room!
Can't wait to try Katie Lee's yummy pea soup recipe- she's darling! 

Loving all these little shots of clustered objects. I really love the crisp white desk against the dark wall- so fresh. And the leaning pictures- I prefer to lean artwork rather than hang it- that way, I can move it around on a whim and layer it. And I am going to try some groupings of objects on our bedroom dresser to create a Lonny-inspired look.

The mix of textures here is perfect- the rugged leather chair paired with the modern glass and feminine charm of the patterned rug and soft gray sofa-LOVE!

Westies! Like my baby Calvin!!

Loving the pops of color with the crisp black and white accents. Totally gorgeous. I'm definitely going to copy the little grouping on the top left.

So eclectic and worldly.

Friday Flower Power

Happy Friday all! You will have to forgive a not-so-cohesive post today, I was stuck in traffic for 2+ hours yesterday cause a semi full of frozen chicken jackknifed and burst into flames on highway 121. Yes, I said frozen chicken. I'm a little tired.
(You will be glad to know no one was hurt.)

Anywho, on to the prettiness! Please enjoy my newest obsession: Emersonmade. I pretty much want to plaster everything she makes all over my clothes (including my wedding dress), shoes, house, dog, fiance...basically anything that will hold still for more than 4 seconds. Not only is Emerson (the cutie-pie behind the fab floral creations) completely talented, but she is also the beautiful model in all her product photos. And, if her success and artistic prowess aren't enough to induce a little envy, get this: she lives on a farm with her handsome hubby and they have a duck (who also pops up on her blog from time to time). I want to live on a farm with a duck and design flowers!!! Until that day, I will continue to adore & covet Emersonmade's creations.

Have a lovely weekend- I am off to see the Old 97's at the Musink Festival tonight.
Who knows, maybe I'll follow in my brother's footsteps and get inked...
Ok...maybe not.
