Some links I loved this week…

I picked up this button front linen romper from Old Navy, and I’m looking forward to wearing it soon! So cute.

Margarita Jell-O shot bites? These sounds perfect for Cinco de Mayo!

Dear Sam Edelman: I would really like a pair of the Katie sandals you have this season. I might be biased because of the name though.

Were you a fan of American Horror Story’s first season? Justin and I were hooked, and they just announced some new details about season 2! Annnnd Adam Levine is going to be in it – I’ll be interested to see his acting chops…

For fans of the sock bun: there is a “hair donut” accessory sold at ASOS. The donut is made out of nylon mesh and easily allows bobby pins through it – nice! They offer them in small and in large sizes, which is great!

Samoa bundt cake. Not only does it SOUND delicious, but the shape even looks just like the beloved Girl Scout Cookie! I’ve got to make this soon!

If you haven’t entered my giveaway (a 4 pack of mini Essie nail polishes), make sure you take a moment to do so!

Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you’ve been having a fantastic weekend. Here are some of the links I was loving this week:

I think a coral colored lipstick would be a perfect hue for the spring/summer months. I’m currently loving Smashbox’s ‘Be Legendary’ lipstick in Melondrama…it’s $19 at Nordstrom!

Baked apple pie egg rolls on Spoon Fork Bacon. I mean, brilliant idea, right? Yum.

Another video that will make you tear up. The power of music…seriously.

First world problems: 14 cringe-worthy complaints. via Mashable. Ah, geez…

Spinach and artichoke grilled cheese. Get in my belly.

Also – Justin and I went to the movies yesterday and saw The Cabin in the Woods. Well, I was definitely not expecting the direction the movie would take, but it was actually surprisingly funny (I know that sounds weird because it is a horror movie, but our theater was actually laughing out loud at many moments. I was amused – the writers were pretty clever with it all.). I don’t want to get into the details too much – if you plan on seeing it, don’t go reading anything first because you might stumble upon a spoiler…and that would ruin all of the fun! And if you need convincing…it actually has a really high rating on Rotten Tomatoes! Who woulda thunk it…

What did YOU do this weekend?

On to the weekend!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead. I know I’m looking forward to a bit of relaxation…a glass of wine or two…and perhaps not having to cook dinner one night!

I have some very exciting things coming up next week that I can’t wait to share…but until then, I leave you with the impossibly cute Theodore -

 

Can you believe my little baby is going to be 10 years old this summer? He doesn’t look a day over 2…

What are YOU up to this weekend?

Happy Easter weekend, everyone! I hope you have a great one.

Here are some links I loved this week…

Warning: don’t watch this clip if you don’t want to cry, because I was a sobbing wreck after it. Stories about animals always get me, and this is one from The Ellen Show this week with a very happy ending, but it WILL make you teary.

Ok, so to stop you from crying, here is something insanely cute: a baby sloth getting a “onesie” treatment! Oh my. Can someone get me a pet sloth? They are insanely cute. And at the very end where the boy sloth hugs the girl sloth? I die.

A frozen peanut butter, chocolate, and banana loaf? How delicious does that sound?!?! Martha Stewart, you never fail to amaze me.

Speaking of chocolate, I stumbled upon some beautiful chocolate eggs from Vosges – filled with bacon caramel! Oh. My. Gosh.

With Easter tomorrow, I was tempted to try out this absolutely gorgeous recipe for beet-pickled deviled eggs. They are probably the prettiest deviled eggs I’ve ever seen…

I am dying to own the Roxy necklace by Loren Hope. Actually, I want pretty much every piece of jewelry you can find on the site…

Hope you have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

What a week! I hope you are all busy enjoying some lovely weather (we’re taking Lucia to the dog beach this morning…she’s totally excited, as well as her monkey friend).

Here are some links I loved this week…

Jason Segel is dating Michelle Williams?!?! Does anyone else think this is the cutest thing ever?!?!

I finally bought myself a Clarisonic! After hemming and hawing, I decided on the Coral Mia2 – it has 2 speeds and comes with a 2 year warranty: I’m really excited to try it out and tell you how it works on my skin!

Peanut butter and fudge brownies with a pretzel crust. I feel compelled to make these delicious treats from How Sweet It Is right away.

Have you checked out Emily Hallman’s collection of beautiful clothing? I’d love to add a few of her items to my closet!

This article on Life After College about Why You Should be a Quitter…and Wear the Title Proudly makes you think. Check it out!

20 Hilarious Hunger Games memes. Cracks me up! “I’d rather be in the arena…than be Bella Swan…”

Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
