I cannot get enough of Pinterest these days. The amount of inspiration is almost overwhelming. Here are a few things I’ve pinned.

Enjoy your weekend, Darling.
With all the craziness, sadness and unpredictability of our society today, it is evermore important to hold on to what’s real and valuable in our lives.
I hope something makes each and every one of you devastatingly happy this weekend.
I’ll be relaxing, celebrating a dear friend’s upcoming baby girl and continuing to nest in the new place.
My wedding dress comes in next Thursday, then it’s off to New Orleans for my bachelorette celebration with college friends. Don’t we all have so much to look forward to?
Hazy Summer Day
I love this editorial and the breezy, summer feel. Backless dresses by the pool, floppy hats in the park, motobiking in vintage…that’s what I’d like my summer to look like as well.

Bridal Baubles Inspiration (Something Blue)
The other day I was thinking, why not do your “something blue” in the form of jewelry? I’m not sure if that’s a popular idea but I am exploring it. Earrings or a bracelet in a blue hue could be divine and depending on your dress/accessories/atmosphere, could be as subtle or as attention-grabbing as you like. I’m probably not going to do a necklace but that could be beautiful as well.
This isn’t blue but I am slightly dying over it.

So…I want to wear fresh flowers in my hair but these accessories from Twigs & Honey are making me want to reconsider….
At Home with The Man Repeller
Leandra Medine (The Man Repeller). Love her, love her sharp tongue, love her blog, love all the recognition she’s getting and now am completely jealous of her clothes/shoes/bags/abode.

Let’s go camping!
I wouldn’t call myself a camping enthusiast. But, I do have a healthy relationship with the great outdoors. I can hit up an air conditioned cabin with the best of them! Seriously though, I love music festivals and floating. It’s not something I want to do every day but I do want to look good every time I do it.

Lovesong
So I may be there last person to hear Adele’s 21 all the way through but better late than never. The song I found to be the most moving was actually her cover of The Cure’s Lovesong. Ahhh. She’s so talented.
