things i saw, things i love

It’s been a looooooong time since I’ve done one of these posts. I like to think of it as my “friday favorites”. You know, where I share what I’ve found, the best of the best, after scouring the internet for the gold of all golds. Here’s what I’ve got for you this week, my friends…

Enjoy and soak it all in…

Holy moly is this house inSANE or what?!? This picture was taken at a plantation-style wedding via Style Me Pretty. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a more gorgeous setting. It’s just stunning.

OK, so I need to be eating this chocolate pudding NOW. Or, maybe I can wait til this Sunday when I plan on making it. Deeeeeelicious. Head over to Joy the Baker for the recipe!

This setting just makes me happy. I love the coat rack and the clean, white feel of the house. Dreamin’ about someday. Seen on Pinterest.

These unique modern city maps are so cool. They are only $18 from artist Jennasue on Etsy. They’ll be featured in West Elm’s 2011 holiday catalog, too, which is pretty awesome. Check ’em!

These are wedding toppers! Adorbs!!!!! They’re called ‘Love in the Library’ and you can get them from the Etsy shop Lace and Rubbish. I LOVE.

So did you know Levi’s now does beauty products? Me neither! But do I ever love their packaging. I am such a sucker for packaging and I want these products on the top of my dresser! Designed by Harshyla Singh at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, CA for Levi.

I saw this Blazer on Arrow and Arrow and I almost died. This is my favorite look in the world. So cozy and relaxed, just like a weekend! Both the blazer and the shirt are from FWK Engineered Garments and you can find them on the Bows Plus Arrows shop. Expensive, yet glorious. I’ll never own one of these because of the price tag, but that doesn’t mean I can’t imagine I own one. So imagine I will.

Don’t you love this mug? It’s a DIY and you can do it too! Just click on over to Wit & Whistle to see how it’s done. Surprisingly I’ve been into geometric patterns lately, as well as a lot of evening tea drinking. This mug fits the bill for both of these. I like it. I like it a LOT.

Well, that’s all for this installment, folks! Enjoy your weekend! XO.

Nook vs. Kindle…HELP!

So I’m looking into purchasing an e-reader for my upcoming birthday. I do love the feel of a book in my hands, but I’ve got to keep up with the times, people! And as you know, I heart technology.

Now I need your advice! I’ve done a fair amount of researching and asking around, but can’t decide if there is one that is better than the other.

PLEASE HELP!

Do you have an e-reader?

Which one do you have and would you recommend it?!

So it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these links posts! But alas, I’ve had the time this week on my mini-Syracuse vacation to spend a good chunk of time perusing the internet for lovely little things to share. Enjoy!

I ADORE this dress. It reminds me of a ballerina and I heart ballerinas. Via lavender summers and lilac dreams.

This BBQ poster is sweet!! I’d like very much to send an invite like this to all my friends. I’d even hang it around the neighborhood it looks so neat. Spotted on flickr via Pinterest.

This time capsule idea from Kelli Crow is super cute for kids to give as gifts. I love it so much I might even make one myself come Christmas.

So I kind of think I’m in love with ikat (post to come soon), and this room just has loads of it. This room is incredible. I obsessed. Via Cote de Texas.

How cool is this wedding invite found on Style Me Pretty? What an original idea!!

I love this photo of the Boston skyline by Caroline O’Donnell at Poppy and Leo. She seems to always capture the city so perfectly, I love looking at her photos!

Wait just a minute. Are these for real??? These chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes (via Kevin and Amanda) might just be the best thing that ever happened to me. Now I can’t be fore sure because I haven’t tried them yet, but as soon as I do I’ll let you know. Oh. my. goodness.

And lastly, because I’m in the wedding spirit this weekend, look at this fun colored crinoline idea I found at The Brass Paperclip. I don’t know if I would dare to do it myself, but it’s fun!

Happy weekend, everyone!!
