September Around The Web

Fall is upon us! September has been one of the most relaxing months I have had in awhile, and other than Dale working nights for a few weeks was really wonderful. This month I spent time with friends, attended Made in the Middle, shopped at Hallmarket, and went to the Plaza Art Fair. It felt great to wrap up our Europe photo book and GoPro video and I’ve done lots of yard work! I never knew getting grass seed going could feel so satisfying. Here are a few of my favorite finds this month:

• Lately I’ve been fascinated by unique installments at events. I loved the one above which is from an event Geneva from A Pair & A Spare attended.

• I’ve been in the mood for some new projects, maybe sewing these pants is up next?

• With the onset of pumpkin everything I couldn’t help but try out this pumpkin muffin recipe.

• The most beautiful space to get a facial.

• Some great lettering inspiration. I love these roundups.

• Serial has returned, but I would love to watch some of these crime documentaries too!

• I discovered Ashley Fox this month, her floral designs are stunning.

• I’m getting excited (really early) to decorate my house for Christmas. Maybe I need these stockings?

• Some unique balloon arch ideas.

• Always obsessed with flower arranging ideas, especially from Think.Make.Share.

Happy Fall!

June Around The Web

Happy summer, friends! Between our Europe trip and settling back into real life at home this month has flown by. I'm really excited to get into a routine in our new house once Dale starts working July 1st! And of course there were still some great finds around the web this month, starting with this adorable pineapple cake I am planning on making when my sister Grace (who turned 14 this month!) comes over for a sleepover later this summer. Enjoy!

• I love the idea of a wedding theme based off a quote

• You can never have enough plants, or cute planters for them to live in.

• I've been loving my Branch Basics, this month I ordered the starter kit and I think it will now be my go-to cleaning product!

• A favorite dinner recipe we tried this month

• Though I've traveled quite a bit in the United States I am missing a lot of east coast states. Mackenzie's guide has me dreaming of visiting Nantucket!

• These slippers are at the top of my wish list..

• A really cool studio tour in St. Louis!

• Stunning paper flower bouquet based off the royal wedding!

Enjoy those long summer days!

May Around The Web

Hello from France! At this point in our trip Dale and I are enjoying exploring the French countryside. I'm writing this post in advance, so I'm pretty excited to see what all we will have experienced by the point you are reading this! May has been an emotional month. In the past few weeks I travelled to New York for work, attended Hallmark CLS for the third time (and got to spend some time at the event with Jessica Hische!), watched my sister Sophie graduate from KU, attended a friend's wedding, and spent one last weekend in St. Louis celebrating Dale graduating from medical school! Some moments were bitter sweet, especially leaving our friends in St. Louis, but I couldn't think of  a better way to wrap up the festivities than in Europe. I still found time to gather a bit of inspiration, including perusing this lovely home in the Hamptons. Here are a few other favorites:

• A guide on propagating plants

• I haven't bought many new earrings lately, some of these are calling my name!

• Once we are home I can't wait to get back into the routine of cooking, these mini frittatas look delicious!

• Beautiful styling and inspiration for a bridal shower.

• Design tips to improve self care at home

• A tour of Oh So Beautiful Paper's Common Room Studio

• Still obsessing over this pool float

• Think.Make.Share. has me excited to make another weaving!

Au Revoir For Now!

March Around The Web

This month was possibly one of the most anticipated months of my entire life! It almost seems surreal that it has come and gone, so much has happened. Over the past few weeks I hosted a bridal shower for my friend Macy, celebrated with our St. Louis friends the weekend before match day with a "Matchelorette" party, found out Dale will be in KC for his internal medicine residency, closed on our house, traveled to San Antonio for Macy's bachelorette weekend, and to top it all off this weekend we will be moving most of our things to the new house! With all that has been going on it's no surprise that a lot of my discoveries around the web this month are home/decor related, and this hotel in Charleston has officially become my inspiration! It was one of the most stunning home tours I have seen recently, definetely head over to Design Sponge to see everything!

• In other home-related news, I loved Brighton's tips for organizing your fridge and Laura's unpaper towel DIY! Both will be super useful as we get settled in our new kitchen. 
• Some new-to-me information, the best order to apply skincare products
• A general Spring cleaning guide!
• This month was not my best month in terms of healthy eating, but I would love to try this (maybe healthier?ha) dessert! 
• I always love seeing how other people get organized.
• The most beautiful dramatic lighting for wedding photos!
• My most favorite Easter inspiration of the season: these over the top cakes from Think.Make.Share.!
• Another recipe on my list!
• And some lovely photos from one of our favorite places we ate in Austin, Hillside Farmacy.

Happy Easter, everyone!

February Around The Web

While this month is not quite over yet, it has been full of exciting and nerve-wracking times/decisions, all building up to BIG things happening next month. I can't wait to go into more details, but let's just say I have packed way too many things into the last few weeks. There were also a lot of happy highlights as well like spending time with our friends in STL, celebrating Galentine's Day with my dear work friends, eating at Lidia's in KC with my family for my birthday, recruiting for Hallmark at KU, having a weekend at home over my actual birthday, and finally I will be heading to Dallas this weekend for a bachelorette party! And between Valentine's Day and Spring on its way the finds around the web did not dissapoint this month:

• I loved this quote created by Tessa Forrest. Follow her on Instagram @subliming.jpg and take a peek at her Society6 shop!

• I need to remember these floral cookies for next Valentine's Day

• A few dreamy Paris pictures

• Have you been watching the Olympics?? I think I prefer the Winter Games, and I loved seeing people create some lettering to celebrate.

• While the donut peg boards are always great, this heart shaped one takes the cake!

• Thought-provoking small changes

• Finding an occastion to make this DIY happen... so cute!

• Can't go wrong with paper flower inspiration

• Beautiful outdoor wedding decor.

• And finally two purchases I made this month: I broke my beloved bkr, so I bought a new glass bottle for my insert, and I got the full size of my favorite January Oui Fresh beauty box item!

Ready or not, it's almost March!
