Happy Friday! I’ll be spending the weekend catching up with old friends as we gather together for a wedding celebration, and I can’t wait to take some crazy trips down memory lane :-) And luckily I came across this ASOS dress that’s SUPER comfy (and would totally fit post-baby too!), so I won’t be stuck in a constricting dress all night – phew! This week I’m loving…

• This geometric wallpaper from PatPrint that’s self-adhesive so you won’t be covered in wallpaper paste when you put it up
• All the out-of-this-world jewelry in Virginie Millefiori’s Sun & Moon collection. Bonus points for the awesome styling too!
• This sassy middle finger blank key from Cool Material that made me giggle because I’m 10 years old inside
• These DIY pineapple favor bags from The House That Lars Built that would be so stinking cute for a Hawaiian themed summer party!

Happy Friday the 13th! We’re planning a little jaunt to California next month, and I can’t wait to leave my puffy coat behind to bask in all that glorious sunshine! We’ll be driving up the coast from Los Angeles to San Jose over the course of a few days – any must-see stops we should make along the way?? This week I’m loving…

• This pretty DIY lip patterned gift wrap from Sugar and Cloth – smooch!

Happy Friday! We’re taking a pass on all the Super Bowl fun this weekend to kick up our heels at a wedding instead – wahoo! I can’t say I’m too disappointed, since I usually pay more attention to the buffalo wings than the football anyway :-) This week I’m loving…

• This schmancy looking DIY business card holder from Preciously Me that’s crafted out of a plastic gator!
• This “informative dresser” that teaches children (or extremely tired/hungover adults) to put their clothes away

Happy Friday! I’ll be channeling badass Katniss Everdeen this weekend because we’re taking a class at an archery range that recently opened in the area! I’ve never done it before, so I’m super excited to get acquainted with a bow & arrow – let’s just hope there are no Hunger Games type injuries (fingers crossed). This week I’m loving…

• These ADORABLE matching BFF collar/bracelet sets for you and your pup from Friendship Collar. Wouldn’t it be awkward if your dog wanted someone else to wear the bracelet?
