Spring!

Its beginning to look like spring around here.

Tuesday Tunes

The new Shins album is out today, I've been streaming it on itunes all week, and I love it already. My favorite song on the album so far, Simple Song makes me anxious for summer.

monday blues

its always hard to get into monday when its sunny and blue outside. i'll just daydream that I'm here instead.

lounging somewhere like this

while blogging and pinning of course. one can dream.

happy monday!

Happy Friday!

Goodness it has been a long week! Last weekend was busy, and next weekend will be too. So for the next 2 days I will be getting some much needed R&R. Hope your weekend is just as relaxing!

Here are some of my favorite things that have been floating around the blog world:

|||||||||||||||||1 small details

|||||||||||||||||2 these have to be the chicest magnets ever

|||||||||||||||||3 great spring ties (added to my list to buy for timothy)

|||||||||||||||||4 this braided bun makes me want to resist the urge to chop my hair off

|||||||||||||||||5 chocolates that would make great gifts


|||||||||||||||||6 delicious looking homemade pizzas! i cant wait to grill these outside this summer

put a bird on it!

i always seem to be drawn to the simplistic style and crisp clean lines in swedish home design. now i've found that carries over to graphic design and illustrations as well. i love this book of work by swedish designer Olle Eksell and i am especially drawn to his bird illustrations which are simple, but full of character. 

happy house

Every other friday (payday!) i treat myself to a new piece of art. as a result my walls are filling up with bright and happy prints. one day i will purchase original art, but until then prints will do.


here are a few that are in my purchase queue for the coming weeks.

inspiration

Mia Nolting is one of those artists that inspire me to want to sketch and draw and erase and create all day long so that i can be even half as good as she is. she also makes me want to buy out her entire online shop

first signs of spring

the time change always makes it seem like summer is right around the corner. i am already shopping for my summer wardrobe. urban outfitters is ON IT with the dresses this season. i have a couple of these already and im going back for more. even if its unofficial, in my opinion, spring has sprung.
