Favorite Things Friday: Pink, Blue & Baller

1.  Ummm if anyone needs me this weekend I’ll be sporting this Loose Braid that looks less like a braid and more like an artfully disheveled updo.

2.  Loving this Ikat Salad Bowl from C. Wonder.  I’d like to nomnomnom some Thai food out of it on Saturday night.

3.  There aren’t enough exclamation points, emoticons or CAPS on Planet Earth to convey the level to which I just soiled my drawers over this Ceramic Beaded Chandelier.  DYING.

4.  A clever gal called Geek Details makes these I Love You I Know Teacups…  they’re ALWAYS sold out on Etsy but just found a pair on Amazon.

5.  All I want for Christmas is the Suki Batik Pillow…  and all of its pretty friends in that Batik collection from Amber Interiors.

6. I had a gold heart ring just like these Courtney Love Earrings, but lost it in the surf last year in Cabo.  Which I’m certain had nothing to do with the drinking obstacle course contest I’d just won at Mango Deck.  #whoops #momanddadmustbesoproud

7. I don’t know if I love the outside or the inside of this Geo Beaded Pouch more.  On sale for $40 at Anthro and there are only a few left!

8. This Tiny, Minimalist Kitchen belonging to artist Mary Nelson Sinclair (as seen on Lonny) goes to show you that you don’t need a huge space + an huge island + granite + all that jazz to have a fabulous kitchen.  Just a wee set of a few carefully chosen pieces you really love can make an itty bitty space incredibly chic.  Bigger isn’t always better, and sometimes less really is more.  ‘Cause the truth is, when you think about what you really love / use / need, the list is pretty short.

OOOH ps, maybe try this ham & cheese breakfast casserole on for size for brunch tomorrow?  I just pinned it earlier this week and am still foaming at the mouth, so that’s definitely goin’ down in my kitchen.  Are you following us on Pinterest??  You should be:  {Steph’s Pinterest | Karrie’s Pinterest}

And PPS, can we take a sec to thank you guys so, so very much for following our little blog, and for all of your encouraging, sweet words (especially Beau’s Mom!)  We are genuinely so grateful and love hearing from each and every one of you!!

Happy Weekend à Vous!

Friday Faves

1. THIS absolutely perfect jacket (found here):

Fall’s knocking on our door, people.  And this BLANK NYC jacket, with its zip front, draped neckline and ribbed sleeve panels make it fashion-forward without a too-hefty price. Perfect to bundle up in in early Fall.

2. THESE Acrylic Diamond Goblets (found here):

They may look like glass, but these Maison Midi gem-colored glasses are made of acrylic and are super durable.  And just $4.95 each! Use them to dine al fresco this summer, or put down your Valley of the Dolls-type “candies” (you gotta read the book) and use these instead as your little wintertime pick-me-ups.

3. THESE super cute and super cheap cabinet knobs (found here):

		
		
			
			
		
	

Soooo I’ve been living under a rock and only recent discovered World Market, where they have these charming knobs for a fraction of the price of the ones found at other home decor stores.  Put a fresh slab of paint on some dressers, twist these puppies in and call it a day!

4. THIS adorable summer get-up (found here):

I randomly came across this summer outfit on Pinterest and fell in love with it.  Then I tracked down the store in Auburn, Alabama – Ellie Boutique – and equally fell in love with the Southern sweetness of the people who work here.  ANYwho, the lace detail and design of the shorts, the beading on the bank of the tank top… I love it all.

5. THESE earrings (found here and here).

		
		
			
			
		
	

(Left): Not only are they vibrant, but each one is made by a fair trade artisan group in India that creates avenues of employment for the economically disadvantaged. (Right): These are, uh, just, uh, pretty and cheap.  Hee hee.

5. THIS dope mash-up.

‘Cause Ginuwine’s been MIA for too long.  And because this song mashes up up the quintessential high school Spring Break masterpiece that takes me back to Bradenton, FL in March ’97.

Have a great weekend everyone.  Steph and I are actually meeting up in NY this weekend for a bachelorette bash.  GIDDY UP!!!

And PS – Be sure to check out our next post for the Rent the Runway blog on Monday!
