Green & Gold

I pinned that photo on Wednesday night. I was stressed that day and that bath instantly calmed me down. It is the epitome of serenity. The soft green drapes instantly caught my eye, followed by the tub and the dainty gold chandy. The side table adds a nice rustic touch.

What are your plans for the weekend? My deadline at work is today, and I am SO happy! I look forward to getting lots of sleep, catching up with friends and blogs, and turning my oven on for the first time in a LONG time. I have no idea what I'm going to make, but you know I will fill you in on the finished product!

Have a great weekend...

I Might Have To Have These...

Ok ok ok. I know many of you have seen 500 different photos that feature the infamous Hunter boots...

Have you seen that one?? Too cute! Anyway, the reason I am bringing them up is that recently my girl Kara and I were discussing these boots over e-mail. She recently did a post about them and I told her that I wanted a pair, but was unsure of how much I would really wear them... Well, I was browsing the Zappos.com the other day and saw these babies...

Hunter wedges?? LOVE! I had no clue these existed, so I apologize if this is not as exciting to you as it is to me! Wedges are actually more comfortable for me than flats and these just seem to be a bit more stylish and versatile.

What do you think? Did you already know about these?

Oh and Mom- If you are reading this, can I have these for Christmas?? :)

Forgiving Martha

Alright guys! I have got a very special treat to share with you today- actually a few treats! I mentioned yesterday that I did some blog-hopping over the weekend. Well I ran across a new food blog that is a MUST SEE! Jess of Forgiving Martha is quite an amazing cook and baker who I think has mastered the art of food styling. She has Celiac disease, so she also focuses on creating recipes that are tasty and gluten-free. Let me just show you some of her yummy works of art...

Homemade Oreos

Asparagus Ribbon Salad

Vegan and Gluten Free Pancakes

Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Avocado- Chocolate Pudding

Now you know that anyone who can incorporate avocado into a chocolate pudding and make it taste fabulous is talented!! 

Those are just a few of her masterpieces. I highly encourage you to check out Jess's beautiful blog. You, your eyes, or your taste buds won't be disappointed!

Simple Weekend

Well hello!! How was your weekend? I hope it was perfect and restful. I worked most of the weekend, but did manage to carve out a few hours of relaxation...

The weather here was too perfect for fake air from the air conditioning, so I made it a point to keep the windows open. Someone enjoyed the fresh air just as much as I did...

Hair blowing in the wind and not a care in the world. Must be nice.

I curled up in my favorite Restoration Hardware throw with The Help. Yes, I know I'm light years late on reading it, but better late than never! I'm learning all about Skeeter right now...

I also did some blog-hopping and found a project to add to my DIY list...

It's a blinged-out Canon camera strap and I love it! I found it on this really cool blog and definitely plan to add a little style to my camera strap.

 Anyways, back to work for me. I hope you have a great week!

Chic In NYC

So... I love visiting NYC, but I can honestly say that I couldn't live there. However, if I ever felt the need (and had the money) to get an apartment in the city to stay in during my visits, this is what I would want it to look like...

This is the apartment of Vogue staffer, Devon Radziwell. I love everything about it, especially the exposed brick. It adds so much warmth and character to the space. I could just see myself hosting a huge dinner at that gorgeous table for some good friends, then sitting on the comfy couches while drinking champagne and laughing the night away. And you know how much I adore white bedrooms! That bedroom is so simple, yet elegant and classic. Love.

Fried Potato Rings

I didn't have time to whip up anything last weekend, so I thought I would share a recipe that features an ultimate weakness for me-- the potato.

Me and potatoes have a deep relationship. I LOVE potatoes! I love both regular potatoes and sweet potatoes. I like them baked, mashed, hashed, smashed and most of all, fried. I am the girl that will go through a drive-thru and only order french fries. So you can imagine how I felt when I found this recipe by Jenny of Spoon Fork Bacon...

I've heard of an onion ring, but never a potato ring. Genius. I would demolish these in 5 seconds flat. Gosh my mouth is watering...

And aren't those photos amazing?? Jenny is an amazing food stylist. You can see more of her gorgeous work here. Be sure to check out her blog for other incredibly delectable recipes and amazing photos!!

Faux House Hunting

One of my favorite things to do on a beautiful fall Sunday to do is to go faux house hunting. My parents and I used to go for long drives after church on Sundays to look at homes. We had the perfect house, but always enjoyed looking at others. I remember sitting in the back seat of the car saying, "I want that house!" every two or so houses we saw.

Yesterday was beautiful here and a perfect day to do some faux house hunting. I had to work yesterday, so I did some late night house hunting on Pinterest. Here are some homes that I found and love...

I'm from the south, so any home with a big porch has my heart...

That house just looks warm to me. I love the clean lines and the cozy colors...

This is my home in the Hamptons. It just doesn't know it yet...

I think I would consider buying this house without seeing the whole thing. Isn't just that part gorgeous? Loving the double front doors...

I could pin on and on, but I gotta get my rest so that I can work to be able to afford a house like any of those one day! I hope you have a great Monday!
