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!

Purple Haze

That's the new color of my hair. Manic panic's purple haze. My hair was really dark brown, almost black so it's going to take one more round of dye before it's all done but nevertheless, I'm in love! I've had some friends ask me what brought on the change, I've never dyed (or even talked about dying) my hair a crazy color, but I just had this epiphany the other night that this is really the only time in my life that I'm going to be able to dye my hair purple and get away with it. After seeing what my hair would look like purple and daydreaming about it for the next couple of days I decided it's always going to be something I wish I would have done if I didn't do it. So there you have it. $20 later I'm a...purplette?  A purplehead? Who knows.

Also it's my mom's birthday tomorrow! She's a pretty incredible woman. There's this birthday card at my work that has an owl on the front and above it, it says "wiser". I was looking at it the other day and couldn't help but think there's no way she could get any wiser. She's the smartest person I know and as much as I hated to admit it when I was growing up, I hope to be half as amazing as she is someday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! I love you!

Home Alone.

Ahhh yes the house to myself. Furry friends are sleeping, rain is pitter pattering, I'm wrapped in a nice cozy blanket. Oh and I'm super bored. Solitude is nice after a long day but come on, it's the weekend, give me a little excitement! Lucky for me I am easily entertained. I settled in to read a blog or two and I stumbled upon The Paper Mama's post of testing out hair colors (original credit though goes to Moorea Seal , another awesome blog). I figured it had the potential for a lot of excitement and I was right. I love every color. AND I am so not afraid of grey hairs anymore. Fancy that.

Anyway while I've been sitting here browsing the web I also found the first addition to our bedroom decor...

Bold lines, soft colors (and purple). Perfect! We have a queen sized bed which normally would have been $79 but we got it for $29! That's 50 dollars off!

Happy weekend!
