THIS. I just laughed so hard. Thank you Michelle for sharing this.

My blog bff Danelle and her love finally launched their photography site. Take a peak! A COUPLE OF NIGHT OWLS.

This article is a MUST read in response to Lisa Khoury’s moronic post, “Why Put a Bumper Sticker on a Ferrari?”

Yay for new blogs! Excited to see Kristins new blog venture and where it takes her.

I am seriously obsessed with Jamie Becks blog. Love these pictures of model Rosie Tupper.

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend! Tomorrow is my Monday unfortunately but I had a good weekend to myself. I didn’t do ANYTHING today and any other day I would feel guilty about this but Aaron reassured me that I wouldn’t have taken that 3 hour nap this afternoon if my body really didn’t need it. So here’s to more productive weekends next time!

This iMac slipper is a must.

I’m all for simplicity + definitely think this iphone fold wallet needs to make it into my purse.

Aren’t these items great? I love the minimalism.

These business cards.

This super cute collar DIY.

Such a good idea for a cutting board. Transfer.(via Designcrush)

Best idea ever. Grilled cheese and bacon grilled in bacon grease. Going to die.

I need this. I’m always second guessing myself when I make pasta.

Space Invader couch? YES.

This pretty Pinwheel DIY + free printable!

Can you tell I’m a little business card crazy? Designing mine so I need some inspiration. These are beautiful.

Anyways, yesterday this amazing letterpressed print arrived in the mail and it fits perfectly above our record player + stand in the office. I love it. It’s perfect inspiration:

And I bought this fancy bottle of wine the other night for a girls night that I’m going to this weekend. Is it weird that I bought it strictly because I loved the packaging? The fact that it was chocolate wine was just a bonus.

So as you can see nothing too fascinating has been happening over here. I hope your week is a little more exciting than mine.

As most of you know, the past few months I’ve been creating monthly designs celebrating each month Aaron and I have been together. We just passed our 4 year mark last week! This project has been such a fun creative outlet for me to learn and experiment, I’m having such a blast.

Since we moved into our house we purchased our first coffee machine and it’s far from neglected here. We use it atleast 1-2 times a day and it’s heaven sent that it has a brewing timer on it! Yes. Coffee is definitely one of my favorites next to design and Molli but nothing is more favorable than who I get to share that cup of joe with. ♥

“The characters are T H I N , TALL and M I N I M A L. Sharp lines and round edges. The details on the joints of each character refer to light points, as if the type is carved in a dark surface, and from behind it light shines through. Those joints become light points, and from there comes the typeface name (licht punt = light point).”

Unfortunately it’s not for sale. But it’s nice to look at, amirite? I think it’s absolutely gorgeous.

This cheese wheel wedding cake from this beautiful England wedding!

This unique identity for a baker.

Lovely B&B interior.

I NEED to get my hands on this Pantone book.

These adorable DIY teacup candles.

This print that absolutely needs to make it onto my wall.

Chocolate lavender pie? Holy yum.

This weekend was a short one but a good one. More often than not Aaron and I find ourselves enjoying a night in rather than going out. And I’m not complaining. My weekends are Thursdays and Fridays so by the time the “normal” weekend rolls around I’m beat from working my Monday + Tuesday. Aside from Friday night though we stayed in both Saturday and Sunday night and had some good down time relaxing. On Friday night Aaron and I celebrated 4 years together. We made reservations to eat at Todd’s Unique Dining which is a fancy restaurant down the street. We definitely never get to go to fine dining restaurants like these so to say we indulged is an understatement. Everything was perfect from the food + drinks to the handsome gentleman sitting across from me. We both agreed that we would try to eat there more than once a year, which I’m definitely okay with! When our dessert came out our waitress surprised us with a cute tiramisu topped with a candle and a sugar plaque saying “Happy Anniversary” then we cheered to many more years together.

Some other things I’ve been enjoying lately» a clean house, working out everyday for the past 5 days, taking Molli for a walk with her new head collar rather than her taking me for a walk, a new (amazing) knife set for our kitchen, coffee, being responsible with my money, talking with old friends, making birthday plans to visit Reno!, stretching + enjoying this warmer weather.

How was your weekend? Hope it was great!
