color. blocked.

I am totally in love with all the color-blocking out there. Lucky for me, my closet is practically bursting at the seams with color. A whole bunch of impatient color that had been stuffed in the back during my winter-time fascination with blacks and neutrals. If the 80 degree weather is really here to stay, I expect this to be the first of many brightly outfitted days!


ps - please ignore my wrinkled linen...

I HEART Thursdays - sort of

Rough patches - we all have 'em.

I'm feeling particularly uninspired today.

So I put on a super bright outfit.

 

And went in search of something pretty for my eyes.

Something delicious for the eyes and tummy

An amazing magazine cover from one of my favorites artists, Andrew Bannecker

 (ps: if you live anywhere this magazine is circulated, pick it up!! This cover could be worth serious bucks someday)

Katie over at Color Me Katie's images always bring a smile to my face

Ahhhhh. The days already looking brighter.

fancy fridays numero dos

well, its definitely a TGIF sort of week!
I'm tired from staying up way too late and trying to put my house away.
I'm still dying to get to some crafting, but for now decorating has been satisfying my crafty urges.

I just love to decorate. And re-decorate.
I like to call my current state deja-vu decorating! I'm finding all my treasures that I was separated from for quite some time and falling back in love with all of them. I promised myself I would do some serious housecleaning and go for a very spacious, minimal aesthetic. But then the little ole bohemian in me snuck out and I find myself creating little vignettes in all the nooks and crannies of our new place.

All this decorating and nesting definitely has me thinking of spring! There's nothing like clearing out the clutter and making way for color!!

I'm definitely fancying the saturated pastels I've been seeing. They're making my heart go pitter-patter and have me dreaming of springy picnics:

 

speaking of vignettes, this is absolutely dreamy

 

I cannot get enough of books

these brighten even a snow day

love love love

seeing these two pastel minis together totally made me happy

 I've always wanted to do this

but I'm sort of chicken...

I can't wait to paint my nails some fun pastel shades

 

 and do this

planning to use bakerella's recipe and try my hand at making these this weekend

And on a completely unrelated note:
I blogged yesterday about being totally in love with Andrew Bannecker's work. I was all set to pop into his shop and purchase the Barney & Friend print I featured yesterday

 

but then I saw these sweeties

 

and now I can't decide! HELP PLEASE! 

Any thoughts/comments would be helpful. I love them all so much!

What are your plans for the weekend?

XO,

Chelsea
