Leaf Love - Friday's Fancies

To me, fall at its core is all about being cozy. A great pair of jeans, a comfy sweater, a warm scarf, go-to boots and fabulous accessories is the perfect fall look. Of course, with some hot apple cider in hand crunching your way on all the fallen leaves. So thank goodness it's Friday and we're celebrating fall. Here's my simple leaf love look. Add your look over at Long Distance Loving. Enjoy your lovely autumn weekend.

Victory

Some ideas on Pinterest are better left as ideas. I'm not crafty so I know when something looks like it's going to end miserably. Luckily, there are some ideas on Pinterest that rock. Delia Creates came up with this simple Halloween decor. I proudly can say that I achieved my Pinterest goal. From Delia Creates, it's spider rings and magnets. I improvised and used duct tape and spider foil cutouts. It still gets the creeper spider look. What do you think? Did I nail it?

Animal

It's like a petting zoo in the fashion world this fall. Everywhere you turn there are animals on everything. And I like it! I'm all about the cat and fox prints that I keep seeing. So will you be participating in the animal motif trend this season? If so, what animal(s) will you be rocking?

Marvelous Monotone - Friday's Fancies

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's Friday and I'm happy. This week on Friday's Fancies we're working with monotone. When trying to style around one main color palette it is important to remember pattern, texture and hues. Add slight variation while still maintaining a uniform look. Enjoy this weekend.

Naturally Modern

One of my favorite things about Houzz and Pinterest is the ability to visually present patterns. You pin or add photos that catalog your taste. It makes it very apparent of the styles, trends, or items that you gravitate towards. You can see how your style matures and changes over time. For myself, my style has become more clean line, masculine, natural, and simpler. I think it's partly due to my array of jobs in the interior design industry that have shown high style. And partly due to my boyfriend and matching his design needs as well. Right now, I'd categorize my interior/design style as Naturally Modern. So where is your interior/design style now?

crisp fall

I'm back and hopefully there was someone else besides my mom that missed me during my brief hiatus. First off, I'd like to point out the obvious...it's October. This blows my mind a little bit. Hopefully, the first day of this glorious month treated you well. Mine was pretty fabulous. 

1. My boyfriend is in town today and doesn't leave for traveling until tomorrow. A Monday together. wahoo. 

2. Stella & Dot just released their holiday collection. It's pretty fabulous. They've introduced scarves this season which makes me giddy. It's getting cold here and I'm VERY excited to wear all my scarves. Now I can't decide which one from Stella & Dot to add to my collection. Suggestions?

3. The video below. It's adorable and has some clever ways to tie your scarves. So embrace fall and start wearing your layers.

random fact

It's late and I'm delirious. So I thought I'd let you know that goat cheese disgusts me. Some my call it odd but I cannot even begin to eat or smell it. Goats are cute and I love cheese but together they're trying to kill me. Goodnight.

JSwoops

I'm pretty giddy for this weekend. Yes, it's still early in the week and we aren't even close to the Wednesday hump. But hello, the boy is deejaying our friend's wedding this weekend. So clearly I'm excited. I've been able to get a sneak peak and let me tell you.....people are going to be rocking out and having a blast. There is a serious art form to deejaying that I can't even begin to grasp. The boy has talent. And not to mention this will be his first public appearance in the past couple years and my first time to see him dj outside the house. wahoo. Oh, and to top the weekend off...we're stopping by my parent's new house and get to see my family. Now you see why I'm counting down the hours till the weekend.
So are you looking forward to anything this weekend?

Kitchen

One item that is a non-negotiable in my future home is an undermount, single bowl sink. I don't even want to see a double bowl or top mount sink. Not allowed. But what I really want in my dream kitchen is a Shaw fireclay apron front sink, Dornbracht faucet and silver travertine slab (make it 5cm). Pretty simple if you ask me. Also threw in some Hans Wegner wishbone chairs while you're at it. What's in your dream kitchen? Or your non-negotiables for your kitchen?

// travertine // faucet // sink //

This kitchen doesn't have any of my three items from above but it is just damn good looking.

Non-Traditional

I think there are many wedding traditions that are beautiful but there are some that I could do without. One that many not agree with me on is a white wedding dress. Now I'm not saying that I would wear a red or black dress. But I often think a slight veer from white is quite lovely. A blush, gold, or cream is a perfect alternative. The best part is they're not as expensive as a "white wedding dress". All the glamour without the price tag. Wonderful. Would you wear another color besides white as a wedding dress?

DMB

I hope you all enjoyed your Labor Day weekend. Did you experience any fun adventures or relaxing times? Joel and I made the trek out to George, WA to see Dave Matthews Band at The Gorge Amphiteatre this weekend. Three nights of DMB playing on one of the most beautiful stages. It was a blast but I am officially tired. Poor Joel has to wake up ridiculously early tomorrow morning too. The weather was perfect, the music was fabulous and we were able to see some good friends. All in all, a successful weekend. Now back to the work week.
