things i saw, things i love

I hope this Friday finds you well. For me this weekend is the last hurrah of my vacation, so I plan to make the most of it up here in Lake Placid! Here are some of my favorites from this week…. enjoy!

I think I’ve had dessert on the mind this week! This lemon meringue cake looks divine… seen over at honey and fizz.

I’ve been seeing glimpses of Zara’s home collection here and there the past few weeks, but no one has done quite an extensive preview as Bright Bazaar. I am loving everything in the collection!

I LOVE these unique wedding invitations spotted on 100 Layer Cake (invitations by Oh Joy!)

Polka dotted tea cup and saucer, seen and loved at The Pursuit of Style.

A collection of Penguin Classic Books via A Piece of Toast. I’ve seen some of these being sold at Anthropologie recently!

I love this handmade ruffle shirt I found on Tea Rose Home. I’d like to think I could do something like this myself, but the only thing I’ve ever sewn is a broken button.

What a funky feel this kitchen has. I love the high ceilings and the windows that seem to touch the sky. Via Kitchenisms.

I know this is probably obvious by how many times I’ve mentioned warm weather and flip flops in the past few weeks, but I am so ready for summer. This picture, seen on Stephanie Says, makes me feel almost as if I am there. Almost. And for now, that’s good enough for me.

Happy weekend!!

rue magazine

Ok, friends, I have found us another winner. Another spectacular online magazine… Rue. They are on their third issue and after clicking through the january/february installment, I can tell ya, I like what I see.

A fun mix of fashion and design inspiration where beauty has no boundaries.

Visit Rue here to get on the mailing list. March/April should be debuting soon!

This post is coming a few days late, due to my weekend in Charlotte, but alas I didn’t forget about it! I’m sitting here in the CLT airport, hoping my flight isn’t delayed due to the snow up north (where I am heading), passing the time here on my good old MacBook. Gosh, MacBook, do I love you.

Anyways, there’s been some great inspiration out there in the blogging world this past week– so many beautiful things! Here are some in particular that caught my eye…

Lovely light kitchen seen at blissfulmediocrity. I love her daily tumblr inspiration- it’s a must read for me each day!

Adorable DIY push pins from mintdesignblog. How cute are these?! 

I love the look of this chocolate cake via flagrante delicia… her blog is in Spanish, which I unfortunately can’t read, but her photography is wonderful. I am just going to have to put the recipe for this chocolate cake into an online translator it looks SO good.

This hat (and coat!) would be so cute for spring. Seen at Beklina.

I’m obsessed with this bedroom. Seen and loved on my beloved Pinterest! I simply cannot get enough of this website… fills my heart with happiness each time I log in!

This Kate Spade party dress has got to be one of the cutest summer dresses I have ever seen. So happy in yellow! I have spotted this on many blogs lately, as it’s clearly a winner!

This handmade packaging seen on delicious days, is so fun and original. How fun to bring to a summer party or to give as a handmade gift. LOVE!

I love this photograph from Old Brand New. It makes me want to travel more and see the world.

Bubbles! Seen and loved the The Sweetest Occasion. It’s the simple things that are the most sweet.

fun metallic tote

I picked up this really fun light gold metallic tote the other day at Gap. $15 on sale! Can’t beat that price. Spring needs to come quick so I can sport this tote with some cute ballet flats and skinny jeans!
