I'D LIKE TO SPEND MY SUNDAY HERE...

Have you ever seen a prettier home/pool/yard/anything? Way to go, Ali Schwarz.

P.S. As always, lots more exterior inspiration here!

QUOTE DU JOUR

Wishing you a weekend that's brimming with adventure! A few noteworthy links:

- Absolutely drooling over the contrast trim on this skirt.
- Loved every page of Matchbook's October issue, but especially the new checklists.
- Making my way through this list of 12 TED talks every entrepreneur should watch. 
- Finally remembering to bring my business cards thanks to this pretty new case!
- Totally hooked on this blog full of inspiration for tiny apartments.

Have a fun link you think Design Darling readers would love? Leave it in a comment below!


WHY DON'T YOU...?

...paint your nails navy blue? Joanna recommends Essie's "Midnight Cami."
...monogram a sweater? This one will cost you a pretty penny but you can get the same look by adding a $10 monogram to this sweater.
...pair classic navy stripes with playful gold baubles? (And check out my list of must-have jewelry here!)
...class up your morning coffee run? I'm eyeing this J.Crew jacket to recreate Olivia Palermo's effortless look.
...tie a bow in your hair? The weekend is the perfect time to go all-out girly. 

My brother and sister are coming home from college this weekend and I couldn't be more excited to catch up and spend some quality time together! What are your plans? Have a good one!
