The Daily Grind

Just a few of my favorite moments lately, caught on instagram! My favorite part of that particular social media is the ability to look back on the moments that you felt were worth capturing at the time, and apparently for me that includes everything from froot loops to mornings filled with packing! :)

What is your instagram name? I'd love to check it out!

I hope you are all having a splendid week so far! 

On the go: stylish and bright

Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you had a lovely weekend and a fabulous Mother's Day with the people you love. I spent the weekend with my boyfriend and his family, and I skied for the first time! It was such a rush and my boyfriend was an awesome coach. Sadly it was the last weekend of the season so I won't be able to try out my new skills until next year! But it was such a fabulous getaway and I felt so grateful to be welcomed into his family's skiing tradition.

I am trying to get better about sharing the process for my design projects with you all, because I think it's so fun to see the steps along the design journey, since it makes the end result a lot more exciting. This is a mood board for an awesome lady, and it was a joy to research and put together. Bright colours and those amazing hanging geometric garlands made me a very happy designer. I can't wait to show you the final project!

My Apartment & Studio Tour

Happy Friday, lovelies! I thought a little house tour would be a fun way to end off the week. I moved out of this place a week or so ago, so it's nice to take a look back at it! I worked from home a few days a week last semester and so this little apartment functioned as my studio as well. I'm also hoping to do a shoot in my new place soon once I'm fully settled in!

I hope you enjoy this little peek into my home :)

My friend bought my this adorable cream holder at a thrift store and it always makes me smile. 

This cart came from Ikea and gave me so much more counter and storage space because my kitchen was teensy.

This giant photo came from this fun shoot! I spray painted that pot gold, and the tea set was a gift from my boyfriend on our first Christmas together.

Rug from Urban Outfitters, pants from GAP.

That framed polaroid is of my mom when she was a little girl, with her brothers, my grandma, and her grandma. It was taken at the university I attend now, back in the 1960's when it was brand new! It's by far one of my favorite possessions.

My mood board and workspace. I loved that space, but my new desk area is quite a bit less cluttered :)

My couch was one of my favorite purchases for the apartment because of it's big, bold print. This succulent garden is from a DIY on the blog a couple weeks back!

I always try to keep plants on my desk because they make the space feel so much more inspiring and they're just nice to look at (if you can remember to water them!)

This calendar is letter pressed and was one of my souvenirs from my Christmas trip to New York this year. I love everything about it and was thrilled when I found it.

So much inspiration and I don't think I will ever be able to purge my magazine collection! If only this were the whole lot...

What sort of place do you live in? Are you an apartment dweller or do you have a nice, big yard and a house? Do you love curating pieces for your place as much as I do?
