Friday Faves

Today, Karrie & I are tag-teaming the Favorite Things list.  This one in particular totally encapsulates her taste v. mine.  While we overlap on things like a deep love for Kate Hudson, easy breezy Bohemian beach decor, and Stouffer’s macaroni & cheese, we differ on others.  Karrie’s style is a little edgier…  she’s always in the know about everything cool before I am.  Whereas I love all things pretty and ladylike, like pink doilies.  Though it should be noted that neither of us is the *LEAST* bit ladylike.  Just ask my Grandpa, who taught me the “pull my finger” trick.  Or, remind me to show you the text Karrie sent me last night – or better yet, the high school graduation card she gave me, decorated with…  well…  you don’t even want to know. Anyhow – here are our picks this week – hope they give you some good ideas!

great gatsby soundtrack: Listening to it now, but so far, it’s dope. // anthropologie threadbloom blouse: Well isn’t this sweet?  If Pollyanna was a 21 year old hipster living in Venice, she’d wear this fa ‘SHO. // pitch perfect, the movie: So worth all the hype several months ago!  My mom, cousin and I rented this last week and heave-laughed the whole time.  So, so, so funny. // jeffrey campbell leather rumble boot: I saw these on a blogger yesterday (exhibit A) and immediately hunted all over the ‘net for them.  FOUND ‘EM.  Great for a sweet little dress, jeans, you name it! // druzy studs from c wonder: I’m seeing druzy jewelry all over the place and I like it because it’s an unexpected (and inexpensive) natural touch of glam.

bone ironies mirror: I love, I love, I love.  I own one sunburst mirror, and it’s always the thing I would hang in every room if I could. this one is to die for. || vintage marbled lamp: grant k. gibson has amazing, amazing taste.  I recommend following him on pinterest.  this is the kind of unique piece I would give my left nut to run across. || white-on-white, well, everything for summer. I’ll give you a million dollars if you see me wearing anything else before october. || lulu frost ring: on my wish list BIG time.  how great would this be stacked with some other pretty baubles? || anthropologie tufted ditte sofa: and what a perfectly verdant little ditty it is!  I am also dying to paint a ceiling that color…  more on that later.

hope you guys have a great weekend!!

Favorite Things Friday: Steph’s Picks

I am absolutely foaming at the mouth like a wildebeest at some of the gorgeous things I’ve run across this week.  Below is a round-up of my newest and freshest favorites!  Could someone please hand me a towel??

K-Hud what up!  Love the leather mini and that draped top.  And love her.  She gets cooler every day.  |  Aerin Lauder’s new lighting line for Visual Comfort.  I have been religiously following The English Room’s blog this week, because Holly is piping all kindsa awesome stuff onto her site, straight from High Point Market.  And now that I’ve seen Aerin’s new lamp and sconce, I don’t know that I can live without them.  |  THIS little white dress is all I ever wanted for summer.  The Pinterest link leads to this dress (er?), which I don’t understand, but which is very similar.  |  How pretty is that emerald & minty artwork?  I’d like to hang that in any room in my house, svp. Bone Burst Chest from Emporium Home.  Swoon.  |  Simone Denim Vest. Stonewashed and 80’s just like I like it.  Someone please pass me my snap bracelet. Crate & Barrel Rattan Onslow Tray.  Currently using it as my morning coffee station to house mugs, coffee & fixins, but it would also work great for summer entertaining or corralling magazines on a coffee table.  |  Oliver Peoples aviators.  Garnet & gold?  HOLY hell, yes please.

Have a great weekend!!
