HAPPY FRIDAY {BLACK & WHITE}

1 Something about fair isle makes winter not feel so bad. Loving these Pieces vinka mittens.

2 These Madewell biker boots are simple and sleek looking. With these I'll be ready to kick some winter...

3 I really love the simplicity of this Bludot mima pillow. I don't know why I can never get enough throw pillows, it's just one of my weaknesses. 

4 I've been on the hunt for some cool beanies, really diggomh this Topman 'birdseye' pompom beanie. The pattern is a perfect pairing for those mittens.  

5 In the winter I really could live under a blanket. This wool throw looks awesome and is definitely super warm, I'll take this Avoca one for my winter blanket hibernation. Who else is ready to hibernate?!

APPRECIATE. {ZOE PAWLAK}

I stumbled upon Zoe Pawlak's work on Pinterest and immediately wanted to see more. The way she sees landscapes is how I wish we all viewed the world. Rather, how I wish the world actually looked. So serene and tranquil looking. I would love to own a piece of her art, just to gaze into when feeling stressed or needing a break. 

SEASONED LOVE

I love this saying "we go together like salt & pepper". Always by each others side and the perfect compliment to each other. This little salt n pepper duo are a lovely little couple, perfect to put on the table while you dine with your other half or anyone that you can't imagine life without.

{Salt & Pepper shakers via oh joy! Thanks Joy, good find!}

SWEET TYPE {NINA HARCUS}

via Britta Nickel

I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays! I'm sure we have all eaten way too much and possibly cooked and baked more than we ever wanted to. Let's sit back, take a break from the kitchen, and just look at this sweet typography by Nina Harcus. This handmade food typography is from a recipe book that follows the story of a Patisserie Chef that falls in love with typography. I can barely measure a cup of flour without covering my entire front let alone create something so beautiful. Best of all looking at this in awe requires no work and is calorie free. Cheers to that!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Oversized tote / Origami leather tote bag

KEEP DREAMING BABY

via designcrush

This is too cute for words. Super creative mom Adele Enersen originally created Mila's daydreams, a series of photos of her baby sleeping soundly with household objects arranged carefully around her to create elaborate depictions of her dreams. Adele is now mom to a new little one, Vincent. Vincent has fantastical dreams too, but his are much simpler with just a pen and some doodles. Sometimes he's DJ'ing other times hes doing a rain dance. So darn clever.

A SIP OF NATURE

Kikkerland birch paper straws | Leif white woodgrain mug

Bring nature inside anytime of year. Birch straws for a cold drink and a woodgrain mug for these colder months. Plus you can leave the air conditioner or heat on. Bonus!

MISCELLANEOUS MONDAY 11.19

1 Mercer's wine ice cream. WTF. Forget chocolate wasted, now you can get ice cream drunk! (It actually contains 5% alcohol)

2 These DIY neon fabric coil bowls are so bright and cheery. I can't wait to try to make one of these.

3 This sequin graffiti by Theresa Himmer in Reykjavik, Iceland is so gorgeous. The juxtaposition of the shiny sequins against old buildings breathes happiness into the landscape. I'm obsessed. 

4 Loving this Gift guide illustration. Gift guides are popping up everywhere right now,  I love the humor of this.

HAPPY FRIDAY {EVERYDAY WEAR}

This week's Friday Five are some cold weather staples I wouldn't mind wearing everyday. Well, I mean I wouldn't actually wear the same outfit everyday, but you get the point.

1 You better believe I want this Madewell polka dot sweater! 

2 This Madewell mini bow ring belongs on my finger. If you like it... nevermind I won't go there.

3  This GAP wool duffle coat in grey, is the perfect coat for everyday wear. Warm, practical, & stylish I'll take it!

4 What I wouldn't do for J Brand jeans... hmm not much. 

5 Loving the suede-leather combo on these Loeffler Randall eva booties. Good for dressing up or down. 

Is their something you could wear every day?

HOLIDAY CARDS I'M LOVING

via designworklife

I am totally not a holiday card person, or a card person at all for that matter, but I am a fan of super simple graphics. I am head over heels for these cards by Erin Jang for Paperless Post. Her line includes  everything from simple holiday cards to dinner party invites. These are two of my favorites! Check out her entire collection on Paperless Post. So simple and so pretty, Just the way the holidays should be!

WHAT & WEAR {SEQUINS & DENIM}

1 Club L sequin peplum top | 2 Joe's Jeans rolled ankle skinny jeans

3 Beulah vintage inspired denim shirt | 4 Madewell sequin shorts

5 AG Adriano Goldschmied robyn jacket | 6 Express sequin embellished mini skirt

As I said earlier this week, almost every girl likes shiny things. Sequins are no exception. Sometimes we fall for a sequin piece and it's love at first sight, but how can you dress the sparkly piece down? How about pairing it with denim? Brooklyn Blonde and Sincerely, Jules pull it off well. Check out how they make their sequins look casual. Above are three sequin-denim combos for laid back sparkling looks! What do you think, would you pair sequins and denim?

THINK POSITIVE

Sparrow Nest Script idea notebook | Victory possibilities tote

Sometimes it's hard to remain optimistic in life. I love how positive both of these messages are. Believe you will change the world and jot down your ideas in this little notebook. Keep your notebook in this tote bag because the possibilities really are endless. Two positives do not equal a negative here! 

MISCELLANEOUS MONDAY 11.12

1 This mini marquee sign is so cool! Oh Happy Day, I love you and your amazing DIYs. 

2 Check out this super simple but adorable window display by Tyra von Zweigbergk. I love simple things that draw you in. That little face makes me want to shop!

3 Mmmm homemade Milano cookies. This recipe could be a dangerous one to have!

4 When I saw this heavenly colored church over on Plenty of Colour I was amazed. Artist Alex Brewer also known as HENSE created this bold mural on an old historic church in Washington, D.C. His use of color is incredible. It's like a technicolor dream. Simply put this church is heavenly to look at.

PEONY PERFECTION

I love peonies so much. They are so perfect in every way. If I could I would have fresh peonies on my desk every day. Check out those amazing colors!

HAPPY FRIDAY {GET COMFY}

Fact: I hate being cold. As soon as it's below 50 about 75% of what I say is "I'm freezing". With our first nine inches falling this week, it's time to accept that winter is on the way. Bummer. New England is very unpredictable, so here are my must haves to be prepared for chilly days ahead to make me a little less miserable.

1 There's something about this Sheinside geometric sweater that just looks so cozy. I want to put this on and sit in front of a fire with some warm cocoa. Just seems right.

2 These J.Crew saturday pants look like the perfect weekend pant. Comfortable but not sloppy. I'll take one in each color and lounge around all weekend.

3 This J.Crew polka dot snood looks so soft and warm. I can't live without a scarf of some sort when it gets cold out and I can't live without polka dots, so this is a must have!

4 I need these Modcloth gloves because, well, I need my iPhone like I need my arm, regardless of the weather. The color and little ruffle are just an added bonus.

5 When it gets cold I love to stay in and bake. These Anthropologie hedgehog measures are too adorable to resist. Perhaps I can bake these!

What are your must haves for comfort in the cold? Don't tell me you like the cold, that's just sick!

OOOH SHINY OBJECTS

1 Madewell sidewalk skimmer in glitter | 2 Deborah Lippman Across the Universe | 3 Ban.do glitter bow shoe clips | 4 Kate Spade coin purse | 5 French Connection glitter waist belt | 6 Casemate gold the phone iPhone case

What is it about shiny things that make almost all females go crazy? From childhood to forever we are a shine obsessed gender. Men, I guess you like noises, loud things. We are more visual. Sequins, glitter, metallic, jewels, and don't forget diamonds. We love it all! No matter what it is, if it's shiny we want it. Glitter is on everythiiiing right now. I'm kind of digging it. Glitter is so happy. I mean really if you are in a bad mood just throw some glitter and forget it. Men, take note. If you want us to love you, buy us shiny things. Perhaps, one of the above! I mean, diamonds always work too, but last I checked glitter is way more affordable.

TAKE NOTE

It's written in the scribbles, these two belong together!

MISCELLANEOUS MONDAY 11.5

2 Tomorrow is the BIG election. Make sure you educate yourself and go vote! Loving Katie Daisy's #GoVote illustration. (see more unique images from artists nationwide here)

3 This Anthropologie handpainted pompom wrapping paper is so sweet. I mean just a box like this would be gift enough for me!

4 I am the biggest animal lover and I just love Free People and their bohemian vibe, so I was stoked to see them doing the Free People pet project. They are selling eco-conscious collars, leashes, beds, and tags for cats and dogs to support Philadelphia's largest no-kill animal shelter PAWS. So adorable! Can't wait to get my girl's these BFF tags! Check out the full collection here.

ETSY LOVE {ILOVEDOODLE}

I love illustrations and prints that makes you smile every time you look at them. Ilovedoodle on Etsy has the most adorable prints by illustrator Lim Heng Swee.
