October Around The Web

Happy Friday, friends! It has finally started to feel like Fall but I definitely enjoyed the warmer weather we had most of the month. This October had some big moments — I moved back to my original team at Hallmark in the lettering studio, we celebrated Dale's 26th birthday, my sister Sophie spent her birthday weekend visiting us in St. Louis, and of course we attended a Halloween party (with our whole group dressed as Mario Kart). Here are a few of my favorite finds this month:

Happy Halloween!

February Around The Web

Hello, friends! February has just flown by. Between a busy season at work, Valentine's Day, my birthday, and time spent in Kansas City this month was full of time spent with family and friends. This month was also full of quite a lot of online inspiration. My absolute favorite was We Are Scout's interview with Liz Payne about her Liz Payne x Gorman collaboration. The patterns and details in her collection are stunning. Maybe they ship to the US?? Here are a few other links that caught my attention: 

Until next month, enjoy! 

Marsala: Pantone Color of the Year

I for one have already fallen in love with Pantone's choice for the 2015 Color of the Year. Marsala was described by Leatrice Wiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institue, as a color that "enriches our mind, body, and soul, exuding confidence and stability." A quick search of this color already brings up its use in high fashion, and with Pantone's announcement earlier this month, I know it will only become more prevalent. I was also excited to download the color palettes Pantone provided using Marsala; take a look at them below. With 2015 rapidly approaching, I can't wait to see how I will be inspired not only by Marsala, but these additional palettes. Enjoy!

Room Refresh

Recently I had the opportunity to help refresh the look of my childhood room. My seventh grade self fell in love with lavender walls, a pink shag run, and a monogrammed headboard, but it was definitely time for an update! To cut down on cost I decided it would be best to try and work with some of the existing elements. I kept all of my white furniture and got a new bed. With the addition of a few new items the room is really starting to come together! My favorite being the new Anthropologie bedding which has a stunning color palette. The bed should be the centerpiece, and this embroidered duvet does the trick. Take a look at some of my favorite pieces in the room:
