Friday Favorites {Vol. 13}

It's been awhile since I did a Friday Favorites! Here's some of my favorite finds from around the internet recently!

The other week I saw Gentri wearing this beautiful black hi-lo dress  from Mart of China and I think I just may have to make it mine! It seems like it would be so easy to wear both casually or to a more fancy occasion!

I know I am late to the party, but I really want to try out a high waisted swimsuit!  This cute red white and blue number would be perfect for a day spent lounging by the new reservoir beach we discovered near our house!

I was scrolling through a wesbite looking at dresses and was quite shocked when R thought this colorful bird dress would be cute, as he is usually into more understated style.  I guess birds are okay but cats are not.  I've been loving comfortable smock dresses lately, and this deer one has such a cute print and shape!  I wonder if deer are on R's "acceptable animals to wear on a dress" list?

And while we are on the topic of cute animals, this article on unusual BFFs is the cutest thing ever.

Gray Malin is one of my favorite photographers, and it is my dream to one day hang one of his prints on my wall!

This darling card from Urban Outfitters sums everything up.

I recently started a Fabric board on pinterest.  Now if only I knew how to make allll of the pretty things by hand myself!

Dus is back from her buying trip in Mexico and has been filling her shop with SO MANY cute new fair trade goodies! This embroidered mini dress is what I am saving for!

The new Macaron Lippies collection from Nyx cosmetics would probably look crazy on me, but man do I want to try that lavender one on in person!

Okay, so this GIF is months old at this point, but holy crap, how awesome is this cat that saves a little boy who is attacked my a neighborhood dog?!?!

R and I are headed to the mountains for a camping trip tonight right after he gets off work!  I just printed this cute packing checklist to make sure we have everything we need!  If we were to make our own list, it would only include LOTS OF SNACKS.  And I guess maybe a tent. Have a great weekend!

Friday Favorite Finds {Vol. 12}

Welcome to my favorite finds this week, hope you enjoy!

Hey, these models stole my favorite "pretend to be fixing your hair" pose! Anyway, oversized babydoll dresses are where it's at.  The comfort honestly cannot be beat and with boots or sandals and a pair of sunnies, you're all set!  I am loving this festival snap and this pineapple dress is amazing!

A clean white kitchen with plants and pops of citrusy yellow - yes please.

This necklace from Etsy seller Black Crystals is sadly sold out, but she has so many beautiful bohemian pieces in her shop and I hope to be acquiring one soon!

These Margarita Cupcakes featured on Cupcakes and Cashmere had me seriously drooling.  I can't wait to have a bigger kitchen in the new place!

Speaking of the new place... here it is!  We move in a month and I couldn't be more excited. However much I love my little studio apartment right downtown, there is definitely something to be said about more space, a back yard and garden, and of course, moving in with R :)

As usual, my wishlist is my fastest growing board on pinterest!  These sheer ice cream socks (which the link doesn't work for anymore) are perfect.

With moving one the brain, I have so many home DIYs on my future to do list.  This canvas polka dot hamper would look so cute in our entryway laundry room and these dip dyed pencil holders would look so cute in my home office!

I kind of want to go to London just so I can visit this beautiful place called Hally's for a piece of banana cake.  Have you ever seen a more beautiful dining room set?  I'd say those dip dyed cans from above filled with fresh flowers would look great on the table too!

Lastly, what would a Friday Favorites post be without mention of cats?  If you are a cat owner or lover, you need to read this article a friend from college just sent me.  It had me literally laughing out loud at almost every single one they are so true.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Friday Favorite Finds {Vol. 10}

A few of my favorite finds from around the internet over the past few weeks. Enjoy!

As the warm weather is (hopefully) soon approaching, I have been drawn to low key nautical inspired styled like this cute look from Steffy's Pros and Cons and this one from Kate and Stripes.  Also note Steffy's adorable new haircut, and Kate's blog is one of my new favorite reads!

This rainbow sangria from Gimme Some Oven is genius, and has me dreaming of summer porches!

Wishing these adorable shorts I ordered from Oasap actually fit me, I have so many ideas on how to style them for this in between weather!

This article on 20 of the world's most amazing hotels pretty much blew my mind.  HELLO, WANDERLUST!

I've been looking for a cute hat with a fun print for summer, and this one from Volcom and this one from Forever21 are on the forefront of my wish list.  Is anyone else loving anything to do with pineapples or is just me?

I rarely wear rings, but if I did, I would surely want to wear one from Nafsika on Etsy.  These stacking rings with the twig shaped band and gemstone are stunning!

This eye opening article on 16 children and their bedrooms from around the world is definitely worth a read.  And if you don't feel like reading, that's okay too, because its actually mostly pictures.

Last but not least, if you follow me on pinterest, you have probably been seeing a lot of action on my home inspiration boards, as R and I are moving in June and we are both a bit design-crazed!  This kitchen featured on Fresh Home is one of my current favorites!

Have a wonderful weekend and a very happy Easter if you celebrate!

Friday's Favorite Finds {Vol. 6}

I missed last Friday's Favorite Finds since my town was mostly underwater, so now I have two whole weeks of inspiration and finds to share!

I check out the daily deal site Zulily (<-- personal invite link) a few times a week, and this week's favorite was this awesome and cozy looking weekender bag, perfect for short mountain getaways!

 I wish this lavender ice coffee from A Beautiful Mess was sitting next to me at work right now! I know the blogging world is all about the pumpkin spice right now, but this sounds like it would give that a run for its money and you can make it at home!

I've got my eye on a few statement necklaces for fall, as I am picturing them paired with a long sleeve blouse under a sweater.  This one is super cute and is only $13.99!

I love reading menus and seeing the insides of different restaurants, so I really enjoyed this article from Open Table on the best rated Top 100 restaurants in the US.  It was also fun to see if I had any near me to try out!

I may have just "accidentally" bought these.  I pinned them to my wishlist on pinterest and then actually purchased them within three minutes flat.  I had some rewards points saved up and free shipping so these babies cost me a whole $35. They seemed like the perfect way to bring floral into fall and winter!

I recently discovered photographer Kevin Russ's work and it is stunning! I am definitely ordering the buffalo print, but have my eye on at least three more! You can see his whole gallery on Society6 here!

The online boutique eShakti just launched their fall line, and I think this skirt has to be my favorite from it! I think it would have endless remix potential for fall and I love that all of their clothing is customizable!

This banana cream fudge recipe is so pretty and sounds easy to make! I think little bags and fudge would make a nice gift for the holidays, so I am going to practice some recipes in the meantime!

 Spotted: DREAM HOME! I came across blogger and designer Kelli Murray's home tour while browsing Design*Sponge and I think it is the best house I have ever seen.  Bright whites with cozy wooden touches and lots of art. 

Speaking of dream homes, I am planning an IKEA trip this weekend to get some things I need for my apartment and shop. This is my first time I am going in to the store actually planning on spending money instead of watching R spend money, so I am kind of excited! Hope you all have a fun weekend planned!

Friday's Favorite Finds {Vol. 5}

Here's what caught my eye this week!

There's are a ton of cute and cozy low key looks in J Crew's Fall Style Guide Sneak Peak on pinterest!

Have you guys heard about Etsy's new review system that launched this week? For all of you who sell or shop on Etsy its an interesting read.  Basically, buyers won't get feedback rating anymore, just sellers, and instead of being broken up into just "positive" or "negative" feedback, you give a rating out of 5 stars.  Though I am still getting a feel for the new system, I think in the long run it will be a good change.  And speaking of Etsy, I am starting to list lots of pretty vintage shoes in the shop for fall!

I want to wear this bootie from Modcloth with cozy sweaters every day this fall!

 Like this gradient color one from Oasap! It comes in green, blue, and maroon and I can't decide which one I like best!

If I ever actually cooked, I would attempt to make this delicious looking Salted Honey and Fig Cheesecake! YUM!

Though I'm not ready to give up summer weather quite yet, I have to admit I have been browsing cute winter coats already! This one from Persunmall is pretty high up on my list!

The lovely people over at Laurence King Publishing sent over a The Simple Dress Book and The Stylish Dress book for me to try out! They have so many gorgeous and inspiring sewing patterns and I can't wait to share an upcoming DIY project from one of them!

Hope you guys have a great long weekend if you're in the US!

Friday's Favorite Finds {Vol. 3}

These oxfords from Zooshoo are so adorable and under $30! I have always wanted to have a pair of oxfords with cutouts, but I am afraid they would end up being uncomfortable. Thoughts?

I think this idea of punching ombre shapes out of paint chips is genius.  I can't wait to buy a little hole punch to try it out! I am thinking something simple like a triangle shape would be cute too!

This dress from Persunmall is covered in little elephants and makes me want to plan a swanky girls night out! I would pair it with a set of these dainty arrow bracelets and a fancy cocktail in my hand!

(P.S. Perhaps both of these items sold out within the last day, because the links aren't working anymore, ugh!)

I adored this post on Gabrielle's blog Hippie Go Lucky about her three tabby cats and each of their stories.  Tabbies are my absolute favorite type of cat and each of their stories and personalities were so fun to hear.

Have you guys ever tried typing in "Peter Pan Collar Dress" under the vintage search section on etsy? Well, if you don't want to spend all of your hard earned cash, I suggest you DON'T do it! So many great finds.  This one here from the beautiful shop We Were Warriors is so timeless and simple.  I also adore their handmade "twin sets" with the sweet little crop tops and high waisted skirts. Swoon.

This story on the modcloth blog with vintage summer camp photos was amazing! I don't know about you guys, but I don't look nearly that adorable getting ready for bed.

I would love to do a 7 day Juice cleanse, but they are all so ridiculously expensive! I would definitely just do a DIY version based on different recipes, but it would definitely take a lot of planning in advance.  Have any of you guys ever tried one before? Let me know in the comments!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
