Weekend Lovelies

:: Weekend Lovelies ::

Hello, friends! Nicole and I are so glad that you’ve stopped by our blog to check out our latest finds and favorite things! Thanks for being here!

So, before we move on to our lovelies… how was your week? I celebrated my 36th birthday {gulp!} this past Tuesday! {I’m honestly starting to lose track!} Nicole was so thoughtful in dedicating her delicious Tres Leche Cupcake post to me! {Thanks, my friend… that was super sweet!} My family and I spent the day at the beach {my favorite place}, soaking up the crazy warm weather we’ve been having in Southern California! It was a wonderful day! Good food, sandy toes, warm sunshine, lots of smiles, and playing in the ocean always makes for a fabulous day! I am so thankful for another year! [Read more…]

Weekend Lovelies {favorite things}

January 18, 2014

 Winter Quote by John Boswell... {via Simply Happenstance}

 :: Weekend Lovelies {favorite things} ::

Happy Saturday! Nicole and I hope that you all have had a wonderful week! Any exciting plans this weekend? Since we have a firefighter schedule to work around, our family took a day {yesterday} to enjoy the beach! It was much needed {the quality family time, and the sunshine}! This weekend I’m hoping to catch up on the relentless pile of laundry, and get a little more organized. I tell myself every weekend that I am going to give my school room some of my undivided attention {so that I can plan some educational projects, and organize my teaching materials}. Unfortunately… it never seems to happen! {I’m wondering when you other homeschool mamas find time to plan and prepare for the weeks ahead. If you have any tips… I’d personally love to hear them!}

On a different note, you may have noticed that our Lovelies has been revamped! We are now including a link-up for all of you fabulously talented bloggers and Etsy Shop owners! We would love {love, love, love}, and appreciate you spreading the word, and linking up your favorite recent blog post to share with our readers! We know since our link-up is new… it will probably be slow to grow, but we are hopeful that in time, your blog or Etsy Shop will gain lots of exposure!   [Read more…]

I Got You // Jack Johnson

Who doesn’t love Jack? He’s one of our faves… for yoga, car rides, or just a mellow day at home with the family.  His new album, From Here to Now to You, comes out this September.  We’re excited!

 

 

A Tiny House Tour // Jessica Helgerson Interior Design

We’ve seen a photo or two of this tiny house pinned from time-to-time, but never before had we viewed all the photos of this inspirational house all in one place.  When we found it, we knew we needed to share it with you.  It just goes to show that the dreamiest of spaces doesn’t have to be large… just beautifully designed and functional.  It’s complete design {love}!

Fashion Trends We Love

February 7, 2013

 

FASHION TRENDS WE LOVE…

                                         and hope will never go out of style!

 

 

 

1. Ballet Flats + Leopard print

This is a 2-in-1 for us.

We love a good quality ballet flat like this one from JCrew…

and we can’t get enough leopard!

 

2. Chunky Jewelry both Colorful + Gold

Another {lovely} find from JCrew.

A beautiful necklace can be quite a statement piece!

We love the turquoise mixed with gold!

 

3. Vintage Cat Eye

This dramatic, yet pretty makeup technique has been popular for decades!

Try this great tutorial to achieve the look!

 

4.  Skinny Jeans + Grey

Who doesn’t love a good pair of skinny jeans?

These Hudson’s are particularly fabulous in the color grey…

{my personal love}!

Perfect for wearing with your favorite pair of boots!

 

5.  Nautical Stripes + Infinity Scarfs

Another 2-in-1!

We {heart} stripes and love the look of a polished infinity scarf!

 

6.  The Top Knot

A classic knot or a messy bun,

either way…

an easy way to look pulled together while going a day

{or two},

between washings!

Try this tutorial!

 

7.  Polished Nails

Essie nail polish is not only affordable,

but good quality for a lasting manicure/pedicure.

We love the bright colors…

and of course,

all of the shades of grey {wink, wink}!

 

8.  Boots, Boots & more Boots!

A girl can’t possibly have enough pairs, right?

There are endless varieties out there…

but these from Free People caught our attention with the zipper detail in the back!
