Good morning friends!  Today I wanted to share with you an outfit I am obsessed with!  This outfit was highlighted in the new fall collection on Ruche, and I just think it is fabulous!  I love the pants with the red loafers and chambray top!  And, don’t you just love that red lipstick?!  Below I have highlighted the outfit essentials with links to the specific items on Ruche’s website.

Hello!  How is your week been treating you?  Ours has been pretty busy like usual!  As I am nearing the end of my program, the projects are piling in, and I am definitely starting to feel the pressure!  But, for the most part, the projects are pretty fun and exciting so I can’t complain.

Yesterday morning Jonathan finished up a 24 hour shift (thats right, 24 HOURS of work!), so we decided to celebrate with a curry picnic.  The weather is getting consistently nicer each day making it officially picnic season!  So we packed up a our tasty curry dinner with some mason jars and a bottle of wine and headed to the park.  It was fabulous being out in the sunshine soaking up some  fresh air!

I also thought it would be fun to round up some picnic season essentials.  The fabulous Kinfolk partnered with Apolis to bring us this picnic/garden bag.  Isn’t it amazing?!

1. Comfortable Tee 2. Picnic Bag 3. Sandals

Good morning! Happy Friday!  What are your plans for the weekend?  I am super excited because Jonathan and I are headed to Spokane for the weekend!  The annual Bloomsday race is on Sunday in Spokane so we plan to run it.  As most of you know, I am not a runner but my sister and I plan to run as much as we can and then just have fun walking the rest.  I am also really excited to see all our friends one more time before our big move!

Here is what I have been crushing on lately.  I LOVE this striped pencil skirt from J. Crew!  It’s just so beautiful and you could wear it with so many different things!

Ps.  Sorry if you got an email last night about this post, my blog was acting strange!  Have a great weekend!

Happy Tuesday friends!  Today is all about gold!  In light of the Golden Globe Awards and, because I LOVE gold, I thought I would round up a few gold things that I have been crushing on lately.  Isn’t this gold wallpaper amazing!  I hope you all have a wonderful day!

I have rounded up a few beauties from J. Crew to share with you today.  Here are a few things I have been crushing on and they will probably finding their way to my Christmas wish list as well.  I think those black pixie pants would be versatile and I REALLY want to find the perfect chambray shirt.  What do you think of this J. Crew one?

Happy day before Thanksgiving!

Happy election day friends!  Can you believe it is finally here?  I have to say, I am relieved.  There is so much division durning an election year and I am ready to move past some of it.  And get on to the holiday season!

Today I have posted a few things I am crushing on this week.  I have my eye on these fabulous navy flats from Zara.  They would be perfect for a holiday party!  Also, I still don’t have an iphone case yet because love how the phone looks all by itself.  But, if I were to get one, I think I would get this simple one from J. Crew.

Hello!  Tomorrow is Halloween, and I am so excited!  What are you dressing up as for Halloween?  I think I am going to be a ballerina again this year (I am a ballerina almost every year because wearing the tutu makes me so happy!).

Here are a few things I am crushing on today.  Have any of you heard of the Kinfolk magazine before?  It’s fabulous!  It is a collaboration made by many talented designers and creative folk who have a shared interest in beautiful small gatherings and tasty food.  Check it out!  Also, I just love this pretty blouse by Madewell.

Here are a few things I have my eye on!  When the weather turns cold one of the first things I feel like I need to stock up on is cute tights.  And I definitely like all the prints this year.  Also, one of my must have fall accessories is long mittens.  That way I can still wear a three quarter length sweater and stay warm when I am outside.  What do you think of these ombrè ones from Anthropologie?

Hi friends!  I am sorry there hasn’t been as much content on my blog the last couple weeks.  My Christmas Project has been taking up a lot of my time but I CAN’T WAIT to show it to you.  I have been working really hard on it and I am so excited.  Remember, the release date is 10.22.12 which is this Monday!  So it is definitely coming up soon!

Today I have some lovely goods that I have been crushing on lately.  I am on the hunt for a cute winter coat and I just can’t seem to find exactly what I am looking for.  I really want a cape style coat that is still in the form of a warm winter coat and has full length arms.  The coat below is sooo close but I am not sure I am in love with the color.  But still, it is close!  And, I can’t wait for the day when I can put wallpaper on my walls (well, probably just one wall).  I hope you all have a fabulous Thursday!  Stay tuned on Monday for the Christmas Project Release!
