happy happy happy weekend!

{elle italy via dress, design & decor}

it's the weekend and i couldn't be happier! i'm exactly one week away from two weeks of glorious spring break. we have an excursion to a nearby abbey and an afternoon picnic planned for tomorrow (i'll undoubtedly be singing the sound of music soundtrack, despite the fact that we're not in austria) and sunday will be spent catching up sleep and work. what are you up to this weekend? something fun, i hope! i'll see you back here monday!

desk du jour

{david netto via desire to inspire}

a ghost chair, a pouf, and a topiary all in one space means i'm a guaranteed fan. i also love the mirrors behind the desk and the built-in shelving to the right.

on an unrelated note, my post about our weekend in switzerland is up on my study abroad blog if you care to check it out. (hang gliding video included!)

on another unrelated note, i just added an "on the daily" feature to the right side of my blog where you can check out some of my favorite blogs. i read an embarrassing number of blogs and thought it was time to share the love! let me know if i'm missing one of your favorites :) i'll be adding to the list often as i find more blogs i love! i'd love for you to take a moment (or an hour...) to click over to some of my daily reads and i hope you find one or two new favorites of your own!

rainy day chic

spring showers are no excuse not to look polished and put together. currently drawing inspiration from the following ensembles:

a black umbrella shields a dangerously chic fashion editor. don't you love the way she layers a leather top over a run-of-the-mill blue oxford? such a tasteful way to incorporate the lingerie-as-clothing trend into an everyday outfit.

a red flower offsets a classic khaki trench and green hunter wellies. she is the most brilliant stylist!

{cupcakes and cashmere}

a similar look updated with red hunter boots. this makes me want to add another pair to my closet! my black ones are obviously versatile but wouldn't it be fun to sport a pair of yellow wellies on an otherwise dreary day?
