Friday inspiration for all you lovelies. I'm so excited for the weekend ahead; I'm gonna do some charity store shopping, heading out to a kite festival & then I may even paint my room on Sunday. What all are you doing?

dana lee

Dana Lee's new Spring/Summer collection for 2012 is all kinds of cool. To me it has that perfect mixture of looking like you just threw on any simple outfit you could find while at the same time you still appear incredibly stylish. A win-win indeed.

dorm

I thought Kara had a great room (and she does believe me, take a look over here) but it turns out she's a part of a whole gang of girls with impeccable design taste. This is her friend Lindsey's dorm room and can I just say one thing: jealous!

Marc Jacobs you genius you.

I saw photos of these floating around on tumblr and just got giddy every time. A carousel? On the runway? With pretty models adorning it? YES PLEASE. Marc Jacobs' latest collection for Louis Vutton has me all kinds of happy. I'm not normally into high fashion as I find it quite difficult to actually picture myself wearing it but the fantasy aspect of this entire collection is what I love the most.

yet again

one, two


I cannot believe it's Friday yet again. It's crazy! It's back to school on Monday after a week long break and then the final stressful stretch to the end of the year. Goodness gracious.

Today I managed to get in some charity store shopping and found a pair of sunnies that are definitely gonna become my Summer staple. What finds have you lovelies snagged lately?

Blooming Leopold

I meant to post about these ages ago but as usual my organizational skills are somewhat lacking. I'm sure you've seen these pictures of Blooming Leopold's Fall/Winter '12 collection floating around. I feel like a proud mother looking at these pieces as I've been following Lauren's blog for ages now and can still remember when she decided to make a line of her own... A very good decision indeed!





Friday tomorrow!

Maybe I'm just a little weird but often this is how I picture Summer in my mind; lazy days, rough & dark seas, a cloud or two in the skies. Don't get me wrong I love the idea of the beach and an ice-cream in a floral dress but I think sometimes Summer doesn't have to be like that. These photos pretty much take all that I couldn't say properly and put them in image form.

katie rose clausen

Art by the incredibly talented Katie Rose Clausen. I fell in love with her entire photostream. Definitely go check it out.

Can you believe it's October already? Two more months & I'll be heading into my final year of high school. Crazy!
