dishtowel to frame.

i fell in love with this dishtowel at anthro (my favorite part is the 60th anniversary, "phew- diamonds"). we thought we might frame it in one of these frames (we've got a collection going with lots of photos & a couple of prints) what do you think?

talbots this fall.

 

 

 

you don't want to miss this sneak peek at the fall look book from talbots! i know it's a steamy august day, but you gotta admit pumpkins, apple cider and bright red leaves sound pretty great -- and if i can look half this good in october, my wardrobe will be in good shape! this is my favorite fall attire i've seen so far, what do you love?

my all the times.

today i was thinking about how fabulous bath & body work's eucalyptus spearmint products are and immediately thought "i should blog about that!" and then i looked over and saw my FAVORITE anthro candle and thought, ok, maybe there are a few things i love enough/use almost every day that i should share. so, with no further adieu (and none of these are earth shattering, just tried & true loves of mine):

1. lucy yoga pants. expensive, but worth every penny (especially if you eventually wear them a thousand times and get as much joy/calm from yoga as i do).

2. pandora. i know lots of you feel like i do: wow, it's so nice to have a soundtrack for my life.

3. eucalyptus spearmint. currently, i have their massage oil and LOVE it. on my wish list is the pillow mist. the scent is just so, so relaxing and lovely all at once.

4. neutrogena skin clearing concealer. i've literally used this since HIGH SCHOOL. for the occasional or often blemish this is the best $8 you'll spend.

5. smartwater. jennifer anniston & i love this stuff.

6. johnson's long lasting softness lotion. i've been using this since college (thank you awesome roommate who introduced me) and don't think i'll ever buy another lotion. light weight and ultra hydrating all at once.

7. capri blue anthro candle. my favorite candle of all time. i literally have a back up one in case it runs out and i can't get to anthro quick enough. love it on my nightstand.

8. macbook. i went mac a long time ago & will never go back. i. love. my. computer. and it's how i blog!

9. j. crew jeans. i've recently become a devote of these. they're cheaper than a lot of designer brands, have great washes and i just love how they fit.

what are your "all the times"? xo

hooray!

love these two things from hooray! the top print is just so great and the bottom notecard is an original watercolor. i would love to paint a little room at a lake house with stripes just like that! anyone have one they want me to paint? :) p.s. you have to check out hooray's adorable blog!

coral nail polish.

if you are anything like me, when you get a pedicure, it's a 50/50 shot you're actually going to love the color you pick once it's on your nails. when i do love it, it's just so great -- and then i forget the name. well, i've discovered a new favorite color and am sticking with it -- essie's coral reef. it's awesome. p.s. by the way spending $20 on a pedicure is like buying relaxation - don't you think? happy summer!

my wish list.

i am so excited to be a part of lanalou's awesome series, blogger wish list. head over to lana's darling blog to read about my wish list and see lots more! happy wednesday! xo

badger sunscreen.

so, if my dad & my husband email me about this sunscreen, it must be pretty great. i read up and it is. it's organic and ranked as one of the best sunscreens out there. so, lather up because summer is really here!

i love linen.

i really can't get enough of it these days. i even want a linen couch (which is so practical). dish towels and day blankets (i love the whole idea of a day blanket - makes me think of a perfect nap) to make your tuesday a bit brighter!
