friday I'm in love

Here is my weekly roundup of the things I am loving on the world wide web :)

This pumpkin cream cheese and pumpkin spice smoothie recipe from A Beautiful Mess. Emma + Elsie also posted a pumpkin spice creme brûlée, pumpkin risotto, and pumpkin and sweet onion quesadilla recipes. Pumpkin recipes galore!

The Campfire Chic blog. I love this blog because it always introduces me to great blogging resources and tips.

This burnt orange dress from Dear Creatures c/o Ruche. And this red, white, and blue cat print dress also from Dear Creatures.

And look how cute Katie from Skunkboy styled the burnt orange dress. So cute.

The Run For Your Lives 5K race. I want to do this so bad. And they're bringing it through Baltimore! Basically it's a 5K race where you have zombies chasing you to the finish line. Kinda crazy sounding, but mostly awesome sounding.

The Making Nice in the Midwest blog by Mandi is just great. She gives us sneak peeks into her life and shows us her personal style in outfit posts. My favorite part is her old-school movie reviews!

This awesome bear bracelet from Sea of Bees. I've seriously never seen anything like this. Love.

These studded loafers from Bakers. And, they just went on sale!

These cute t-strap flats from Blowfish. I really can't decide which one I like better. Patent leather or pewter? Or both?

Now if I just had money....:)

Friday I'm In Love // Etsy Edition

I love Etsy oh so much. It's the ultimate cute-generator. I always find the most adorable, one-of-a-kind, or hand-made items. It's a crafty, vintagy goldmine! So, in honor of my love for Etsy, I've done an Etsy edition "Friday I'm In Love" post. Enjoy! :)

These iphone cases. I dropped my phone about a month ago and probably need a case much hefty than these but they're just so cute. How can I resist?

These craft supplies. I always forget that Etsy has craft suppliers that sell cute, affordable goods!

 These vintage dresses from Exile Vintage.

 This cute scalloped mug from Art Haus Ceramics.

 These cute fox shoes from Em and Sprout.

 These awesome wooden candles from Worley's Lighting.

 These cute little doll patterns from Gingermelon.

 This awesome print from Entropy Trading Co.

Friday I'm In Love.

Just a few things I'm currently loving. Enjoy your weekend! :)


This blog by Free People that shows a cool little tutorial on 3 different top-bun looks.

These old photos that depict the "hidden mother" craze. I had no idea this really occurred until I happened upon this article. Apparently the mother would hide behind blankets or tapestries in order to not be in the child's photo while simultaneously being able to hold to child still to ensure the photo would be focused. Not only are the photos interesting, but they're hysterically funny (to me anyways...).

This dress. Looks like houndstooth from far away but then you realize it is actually fabric covered in tiny hounds. Get it?...I think it's clever, anyways.

This heart necklace. I like my jewelry simple so this is perfect for me :)

This trailer featuring the new Man of Steel film coming out June 2013. It's short, but I'll take anything I can get right now.

These portraits taken by Joshua Yospyn, a DC-based street photographer.

Worn Magazine. A DC-based style + photography magazine that is restarting this Fall 2012. I can't wait to grab a copy!

This DC social group. Dandies + Quaintrelles organizes and hosts vintage-inspired events that sponsor noble causes. This picture is taken from their most recent event in June 2012: The Seersucker Social.

Friday I'm In Love.

Happy Friday everyone! Here is my weekly line-up of things I am loving and/or am inspired by. Enjoy!

This art print. It's so gorgeous. You should check out more of Rebecca Roe's prints. Also, she has a wonderful style blog. You should check that out, too.

This moose ring by Sea of Bees. I mean have you ever seen anything like it?

This blog. The Color Issue has become one of my favorite blogs to read. It literally features everything colorful and whimsical.

These shoes. It's like a modernized saddle shoe.

This dress from ModCloth. In love with the realistic bird print and the color combination.

This 13-minute featurette on the Dark Knight Rises. I'm going to keel over when I see the movie this Sunday.

This Superman hair bow that I found on Etsy.

I hope you all enjoy your weekend! I know I will ;). 

Friday I'm In Love

I love a lot of things. Too, too many things. It's what can easily happen when you have a vision for what a room could look like, an outfit could be excentuated by, or how an experience could be enhanced. As most of you know, I'm going to Europe this Summer! I'll be gone for a little less than 6 weeks and am so excited! This means I have a lot of money that I need to save. Which, therefore, means I don't have a lot of money to spend. So, I'm hoping making these posts will make me kinda, sorta feel like I have them...maybe? We'll see...Anyways, these things at least inspire me! :)

These monogrammed mugs. I love the first letter of my name :)

This iPhone cover. I'm a cat lover (and a dog lover, too, but ya know...)

These travel photos.

This Moleskine journal that just so happens to start in July of 2012.

This blogging planner that I desperately need!

This dress from Ruche.

These photos from Comic-Con 2012. As a Superman obsessor I have always wanted to go to Comic-Con but have never been :( One day this will happen!
