Friday Favorites - Links I Love

Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Hope you find some of these as enjoyable/interesting as I did. 

1. This DIY is amazingly easy (and inexpensive) but has such a rich result. I'm on the lookout for the right vase....(abeautifulmess.com)
2. I find it hard enough to raise a toddler in an apartment, I can't imaging raising THREE on a boat. But an amazing way to experience the world (hopefully they're remember some of it.) Oh, and I want to know what these parent's job(s) are. (theplaidzebra.com)
3. Style lessons from the queen of style we all wish we had, Carrie Bradshaw. (popsugar.com)
4. It's a great time, professionally and nationally, to be Laverne Cox. (yahoo.com)
5. Home-state pride, in this delicate and versatile jewelry piece.  They have all 50 states, so you could wear your history around your neck. (joyus.com)
6. Every time I look there's a new genius app out there, making life a bit easier (or harder, depending on how you look at it, lol.)  Keep up to speed with this great list of time saving apps for your organization, wellness, travel, shopping, and entertainment. (goop.com)
7. People get creative with the most mundane things.  This is for those of you who LOVE your coffee so much, you want kiss it. (behance.net)
8. A gallery of some of the most beautiful photographs, aka eye candy.  (smugmug.com)
9. Parenting is one of the hardest undertakings with no formal training involved.  This should be required material for all new parents. (huffpost.com)

Happy Hump Day y'all. ( I don't know why the "y'all". Just seemed to go well with "Hump Day.") Half way to the weekend - yay!  I don't have anything planned yet of interest, but since we've had busy weekends the past couple, and we have busy weekends coming up, I'm ok with no plans this weekend.

Hmm, maybe I'll paint the bathroom....that sounds relaxing, right? ;)

Recapping the last couple weeks from Instagram:

Heading out to a date night dinner, showing off my recent Rocksbox arrival.

A rare brunch with one of my oldest girlfriends - no kids or hubbies, and bottomless mimosas.

Outfit photobomb by curious toddler.  The world is an interesting place.

Just appreciating the little things around me - some lovely white roses outside the office.

Neutral layers at work on a hot day.

Cut out of work early to hit up the beach with my best boys. Love them.

More neutrals - with one of my favorite F21 purchases (years ago) leopard top.

A bedtime selfie just trying out the last Rocksbox wares.

I get my money's worth out of this shirt dress. So versatile, love the print and colors.

Throwback to our family trip to Arkansas - taking a photograph while being photographed.

A casual look. Vests are one of my favorite ways to mix up a look.

Details from a lovely fairytale wedding we attended at the Four Season Beverly Hills,

Started the week off with some light, striped pants, and my late grandma's necklace.

Fairlytale Wedding

We were able to attend a very lovely wedding this past weekend.  The ceremony and reception were both at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills, and a better evening could not have been ordered.  The ceremony was outside on a private lawn, the weather was so perfect, and then the reception followed in a beautiful ballroom.  The bride is very much in to Disney princesses, so her style was very romantic and fairytale.

With a little help from some double-stick tape, I was comfortabe all night.
 

Please forgive my paleness.
 

Beaded shoes. 
 

Details.
 

When there's a photo booth, you gotta take photos.
 

My dress and shoes are on sale right now, you can get them both below.
 

Friday Faves - Anthropologie

Everyone has been excited about the Nordstrom Anniversary sale, which is warranted because you can find some good savings. But one of my favorite places to find things on sale is Anthropologie.  They have some of the prettiest items - I would feel pretty every day if my entire closet were their collection.  Here are some of my favorites that are on sale now, all for less than $100.

PLUS, all sale items are an extra 20% off with code: saleaway.

Don't you feel pretty just looking at them? ;)
