have a fantastic weekend!

(via)

how is your weekend going along? i'm outdoors as much as possible these days, soaking up the warm fall sun, watching the beach grass change from green to that fiery orange which is my favorite color just about. changing the beers in the fridge from light and summery to big flavorful IPA's from local brewers. 

i will miss summer like you read about, but i'm ready for the change. for comfy sweaters and my leather boots. for long walks on the beach without almost seeing anyone in sight. i'm hoping you are enjoying your weekend and the weather and all of the things that make you happy. 

and for fun, some fun finds from around the world wide web:

a great shoulder bag. and this gorgeous one if i had money to burn. 

this intimates line looks so comfortable. 

loving this layered look.

here wishing you a lovely long weekend! what are you up to? anything fun? i just wallpapered the little dining room of my house by the sea (this is the pattern) and it's so, SO fabulous in person. so spending the weekend hanging back up a few paintings, cleaning the house (it's raining cats and dogs this weekend) and sipping some IPA's. not bad, not bad at all. 

and i'm not back to work until wednesday, then headed to maine for the weekend with friends next week, golfing a round by the ocean (i've never golfed but watch it on t.v. ALL the time, will see how i do!) and eating our weight in food and wine. feels good to make plans, travel, see so many people without masks, a beautiful summer is on the horizon. 

and some fun finds from around the world wide web (lots of great lighting finds in this post):

 this room, the color palette, is just perfection. and can we talk about this bathroom too?

ok this parasol pendant shade? might have to pull the trigger on this for my living room. and maybe this one for the bedroom.  

this lamp. this one too. 

yum. 

this arched vase. 

etsy love.

a stunning halter jumpsuit.

these high rise white jeans for summer. 

very pretty pottery.

a wow chair. 

this kelly wearstler leather club chair is pretty wow too. and this console in white wash ash.

pillow love. liking this one for a color pop too. 

a gorgeous vintage basket. 

this terracotta candle holder. 

still love watching him dance. 

these look comfy.

a cool coffee table.

also pretty in white. and great price.

enjoy!

happy new year!

happy new year friends! are you feeling like me? like january is sort of the quiet recovery time from the holidays?

i've found myself enjoying very long quiet moments, a bit of meditating and enjoying the slower pace that comes january in winter time in new england. oh, and i close on a house at the end of this month. huge step for me as i've never owned a home but cannot wait. and cannot wait to make it my own. plan to do serious before and afters to share.

just checking in to say hello and hope you are all embracing the new year as much as i am. and some fun favorites from around the world wide web lately...

yum.

pizza yum.

just a pretty water bottle.

for the dogs.

pretty wedding day hair style.

this for the end of the bed?

just bought this sound machine for sleeping. do you use one? so far i'm liking it! (the rain) :)

this spanish chair is everything. ok this one too.

a wow fireplace mantle.

considering walls in my new house, i'd love to go bold and old fashioned with wallpaper in at least one space. this kind of vibe.

i also want to eat in more, cook from scratch in the new house. soups! this one looks delish!

i seriously need these pants.

just like this.

such a pretty party dress.

and love love LOVE this one for everyday.

enjoy!

i've been trying to slow it down this weekend, get outdoors to enjoy the spring air and disconnect a bit from all of my electronic devices. also shopping for spring blouses (i love the drama of this green organza blouse!) & eating pizza at my favorite joint. i hope that your weekend is everything you want it to be...
