Happy weekend!

I hope you are enjoying your Thursday thus far! Reader-friends, I must apologize for my lack of posting. The absence of posts isn't due to a lack of inspiration, that much I can promise. I am interning this summer in downtown Chicago and I find myself with a much fuller plate these days.

But not too full to stop and bake some pies. Check that off the bucket list!

I apologize for the irregularities, but I do hope you will still check back every once in a while!

A few posts to start your weekend early...

Donut necklaces, anyone?

My bookmarks are always notecards or train passes, but these are so whimsical!

A lacy sundress. Ooh la la

His and hers beernotes. Makes me excited to turn 21 soon!

Keeping my eyes peeled for a versatile (cheap!) party dress

...but feeling like I should invest in some business casual pieces

This treat looks like little hazelnuts

Did you hear who has a TV show?

Only one week til this little gem comes out

Did you hear what's coming out next summer...?

I've been hooked on Grey's anatomy lately, and this Guide to Seattle is incredibly thorough! To do: visit Seattle.

To do: visit Molly's Cupcakes (named after her third-grade teacher!)

Happy weekend, friends!

Have a cool Fall weekend!

Need a cool way to store your books?

Did I mention I finally found some colored denim!

Excellent daytime ruffles.

Looking for the perfect glitter nail polish? (This one's for my best friend Lainey who believes in crazy fun nail designs and the perfect pink polish!)

The pink one matches my sparkle phone case perfectly!

I think I've decided Josh Kelley will be my first dance at my wedding :)

Speaking of which, what a beautiful wedding!  Be sure to scroll down and see the candy bar party favors!

What a versatile LBD.

Style blogger Jessica Quirk in front of IU's Sample Gates! 

Let your mind wander

What beautiful macaroons! The photo so perfectly describes each flavor above! Although, what's the light pink? Pistachio, maybe? 

I hope you're not reading this hungry! 

Looking for some Fall style ideas?

I'm positively in love with this Mat Kearney jam!

This designer Nathalie Lete is so talented! She produces everything from children's books and novels to stuffed toys and ceramic sculptures. What a cool job! Did I mention she works from Paris?

Warning! Gross foods ahead! Pictory's latest project involving crazy foods: "The stories shared here represent connections to other cultures, to our senses of adventure, and notably, to the origins of foods we eat."

My friend Lainey should have submitted chicken livers from her 8-week stay interning in Africa.

I could wholeheartedly weep at the sight of these photos shot in Mykonos, Greece!

I believe print is not dead! And I also believe in dropping a subtle. Birthday. Hint.

Justin Bieber  cupcake toppers. Genius!

Happy weekend, friends!

Major procrastination

The time has come: I have my first official assignment from my History professor. So what better way to celebrate than by baking a carrot cake, and making cupcakes with the leftover batter! 

Here's the recipe!

And while I'm uploading, here are some of the shots from my time in Greece ;) 

Looks like a boat advertisement, right?  

My cousin and I swimming - one of my favorite shots from the whole weekend! 

The most amazing chick pea soup recipe. Sweet Jesus, it was so good! 

Nothing like some early morning shots! 

The fam's gettin older, and we all gettin taller too! My cousin is going into high school, but I swear he'll be a perpetual third grader to me :) 

This sums up the weekend nicely...
