Color Crush

1 | 2 | 3

Pops of purple. I am in love with pops of purple. I feel like it is a hard color to successfully pull off in a room at times but I absolutely adore all these examples above. It seems to pair well with more rustic elements.

I was bummed to miss Friday Favorites yesterday but we were having some puppy issues. You may be aware by now that Jackson's favorite pass time is getting into food that makes him sick. He ate a whole loaf of bread last week. At first I was mad because it was Dave's Killer Bread which is like 5 dollars a loaf, but it has been a downward spiral since. It made his skin go kind of crazy and he's been really itchy. In fear of him having really bad hot spots we had to get him a cone yesterday and he's been pretty sad. I feel so bad for him but can't help laughing every once in a while. He just looks so goofy and is completely unaware of how large it is when he's walking around. Hopefully it will help him learn his lesson and he'll slow down on being a little food thief.

We got him a Comfy Cone so at least he can still cuddle on the couch and enjoy being lazy.

Hope you're all having a fabulous weekend!

Friday Favorites: Black & White

I'm trying out a new little feature on my blog. Friday Favorites. I just figure I love it when other blogs do similar features and this way I get to share things with you guys that I think are really really cool. We'll see how it goes, let me know what you think!

I want to put these two outfits above together into one and wear it every single day. Is that a bad thing?

I have always been a big (HUGE) fan of color, and still am, but lately there is something about black and white that makes me swoon. Together they are so classy and sophisticated but also have this rock and roll edge that is so lovely. All things black and white get it my life!

On another note, we're putting up A Girl In Sunset (Lisa Maurine's amazing blog that I did the new design for) later today so I'll most likely be back here sharing with you guys! Catch ya later skaters.

{also I apologize for the useless links on some of these guys, I sourced back to the addresses they came from but a lot came from tumblrs and weren't sourced correctly}

How?

How is it that my last post was Monday? I must have dreamt about doing a blog post because I could have sworn I've posted since then. I guess that's what happens when you write two blogs? I should get a twitter so I can say "#blogginggirlproblems" ehhh ehhh??

So you want to know what I've been up to? Let's start with the hair. I'm officially no longer a purple-head. Tragic, I know. After 3 weeks and a lot of trial and error I have landed in magenta-maroon land and I am here to stay. My high school self would be so proud, she always wanted us to have hair like Hayley Williams of Paramore. If only she knew we would end up here. Present self is also very proud. And in love. SO IN LOVE.

What else? Oh, I've completely fallen off the wagon with working out. I've still been eating healthier but with my more than overbooked schedule taking the time to get my sweat on has officially moved to the back burner. On the more successful side of my overbooked schedule, I am also officially expanding my design ventures. As you know I'm doing that fashion/interior design collaboration for our school's spring fashion show. My partner and I have been working hard. I really lucked out getting paired with her by the way. Her name is Christie and she is really great and has awesome ideas. This project definitely deserves it's own post once we've finished but here's a sneak peak at some of our process pictures for our final design. (note that we are completely changing each piece, we are not using anything as is).

 I'm also starting to really dabble in graphic design. Crazy right? I mean it makes sense, there is a lot of overlapping in the design field. Could a real graphic designer do a better job than me? Of course. But am I going to let that discourage me? NAH! It's mostly just blog design but it's really exciting to me. More work blogging? SO COOL. Right now I'm working on redesigning A Girl in Sunset, a wonderful blog by the wonderful Lisa Maurine. You should check it out! I'll be sure to post the finished product once it's complete.

Anything else? I think that's about it, I'll be sure to stop by tomorrow to make up for my absence the last couple of days.

Oh, I saw Chronicle and The Vow. Chronicle was INTENSE and The Vow made me cry like a little baby. Ok that's it!
