The Early Bird alarm clock I found on Presents of Mind is certainly a good way to start the morning!
Loving the subtly feathery pattern of the Fete of Feather dress from Modcloth... always looking for a good maxi dress!
Allegra Hicks flower pillows at West Elm have such a strong, bold pattern, yet remain soft and light.
I really do need an apron when I do dishes... why not one with an adorable owl print like this one from Modcloth!
I seem to have amassed a collection of pretty purples and jewel tones this week!
These In Rose and Columns string lights from Modcloth are perfectly whimsical and elegant. They'd make any dinner outside an event!
I love the way the pattern on the Backgammon skirt from Gorman fold into the pleats of fabric to make a whole new pattern!
The finish on these bud vases from Cox & Cox is very antique, but the colors are so vibrant and fresh!
This braided mat from Serpent Sea is just too fun!
I need a little splash of bright colors today (beside my bright red nose...) to break up my drab feeling week. Even though it's sunny out today, with both myself and my poor doggy sick, neither of us are really in the mood to make the trek down the three flights to hang out in the sun.
These rooms use color to bring that sunny feeling INSIDE! (which is closer and further away from allergens...)

Took today as a sick day from work. Blech. Allergies are kicking my butt.
But what's a better way to spend a sick day than starting a new blog feature! This will be my way to share posts from other blogs or interesting articles that I just could't find a way to summarize and give the original justice! So here goes the first round
DIY... or DIBSHA!
I would die for this door.
A 3-D printer in the desert? Necessary? Perhaps not... but cool!
Remember Sweet Valley High?
Along those lines... some more 90's girl nostalgia.
Hey look! That's me!
So a little while ago I posted some project I made on Etsy... and then didn't do anything from there... oops!
Check it out here!
Hopefully I'll find the time to make some more fun things soon!
Anthropologie's window displays are always so inspiring! I recently found their flikr page... squee!!
Some of my favorites:
In Chelsea, New York, NY
In Santa Barbara, CA... love folded paper!
And the store closest to me: Glen Mills, PA!
Love all the detail shots too!
I've had quite the turbulent relationship with Old Navy over the years.
First, I loved them because they had cute prints and cheap prices.
Then, the designs got kind of stale, but the prices were still good, so it was a go-to for basics.
Then, the prices went up and nothing not in the clearance rack seemed worth it. Ugh!
But now, I am in love with their fall line! (And got a handful of really cute pieces at the beginning of summer too!) Prices are still a bit disappointing, but when they're pieces I love and will wear a lot, I may cave. I'll show you what I mean.
There were a couple pieces in the store that weren't online that I loved, including a mid-length sweater dress that looked like this, a fleecy sweatshirt with a mod kind of cut, and a hoodie with thin red and white stripes that had a cowl neck instead of a hood.
And then there is this online only dress, that is only available at the moment in extra small, and seeing how I am not, nor have any desire to be an extra small, For now I will drool, and keep checking back for more! Le sigh.
As the beginning of autumn is only 2 days away, this week's wishes are inspired by the cooler weather that's starting to peek its head out!
I'm loving this owl wreath - the colors are perfect! I just wish the owl was a little less mean looking... But it's made from a kit from Papersource... so I'm sure I could change that!
This long charcoal skirt from Madewell looks super cozy. I'm thinking it'd be great paired with a comfy yellow cable-knit sweater!
I think I'm accidentally developing a bottle opener collection. I'm beginning to commit to it... and this bone handled opener from West Elm would be an excellent addition!
The rich colors and organic pattern in this wall paper from Hygge & West feel very fall-like to me! A bit intense for a large space, but it would make a very dramatic entry way!
Most chandeliers are a little too fussy for everyday life. These, however, have the spunk to make an ordinary room extra special... and still cozy!

And if the DIY look isn't for you, these pendants from West Elm will do the trick!
P.S. Why do those incandescent bulbs have to be so pretty... yet so inefficient??
