Did anyone else watch The Office finale last night?

Gosh.

Tears.. Smiles.. Laughs.. Tears.

There was one quote that stuck out to us from the whole finale episode.. “I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you left them…” Whoa. Isn’t that the truth? How many times have we been in these weeks, months or years… stressed, anxious, or always awaiting the next better thing.. something more. Perhaps it’s a big move, a new job, growing as a person, taking some sort of leap.. that we are so consumed at what is coming next… that we fail to see how amazing right now is. This quote really shook it up for us last night.. and we hope to try to relish in these good old days while we are in them.. Lord knows we are.. you know that right? There is going to be a day years from now that you look back at right this second and say gosh… “those were the good old days..” So go on and enjoy them… right now.

BOY, OH BOY!  Do you love a great maxi dress as much as we do?  They are so comfy with a flair of elegance, especially when paired with some fabulous accessories.  Check out this great Mint Chevron Maxi from the oh so talented LemniscateAddict.  Wouldn’t it just pair so perfectly with these Black and Gold Mixed Metal and Rhinestone Bangles from our friends over at IN PINK…and this gorgeous Golden Drop Necklace from the lovely talent of Ginny’s Junk…ooh ooh, you can’t forget the beautiful Black and Gold Hand Painted Zippered Pouch from the amazing Kristen Solecki.

We just gotta have ‘em all!

Is it possible to fall in love at first sight?  You tell us…because we are completely smitten with our newest DOTD, Mellabelle Designs!  Mellabelle creates beautifully handcrafted soaps and bath products, using only the best ingredients and various soaping techniques. Melissa Stowe, creator of Mellabelle Designs, makes all of her products to order…so, you know you’re getting something made with love and care…just for you!  She even does custom orders!  How cool is that?!  So…do yourself a favor and check out her store, get yourself some soap and start relaxing!

A fresh start, green grass and a new season is what inspires us lately. What about you?

Is Spring your fav style season?

We think it might be ours.. Shh.. Don’t tell Summer or Fall. You can tell Winter all you want

Anyways, we figured Spring style would be fun to chat about today.. especially when it comes to a few essentials that can make all the difference in your wardrobe! One would be these classic “granny apple green” post earrings from our sweet friend at Ginny’s Junk! Two would be this versatile “aqua sailors knot” headband from our dear friend at Nora & Jac! And three.. this would a gorgeous “vintage floral bouquet” clutch from the ever talented Minc Design! See.. we told you they were essentials. Now Spring is going to look g o o d !

What’s better than a chandelier?  How about a chandelier YOU made…hanging outside in your backyard?  Yeah…we don’t think you can get much better than that, either.  That’s why we thought you’d love these three gorgeous DIY chandeliers.  Make one…or all three!  And then let us see!!!

one.  the elegantly rustic mason jar chandelier

two.  the converted flower basket chandelier (yup…we said “flower basket”)

three.  the fabulous eco-chic garden chandelier

Oh me, oh my! We will take one of everything from our newest DOTD brandMOJO Interiors…PLEASE and THANK YOU!  Scott and Marisa of brandMOJO create B-E-A-UTIFUL custom furniture, which is handcrafted one at a time at their shop in North Carolina. The fabulous couple met in Portland, OR and after eight years, relocated to North Carolina on a whim. Where they own and operate their small business, named after their four-legged daughter, Mojo.  They use only sustainable materials, and all of their solid wood pieces are created with reclaimed barn lumber and wood milled from storm fallen trees. Many of their gorgeous creations are salvaged vintage industrial pieces, re-purposed as furniture.  Seriously…we couldn’t be more in love.  Follow them on facebook, and peruse their shop. We’re sure you’re heart will stop for at least one of their amazing one of a kind pieces.  Ours sure did.

A brand NEW month is what inspires us this Monday guys.. how can anything be better than wiping the slate clean and getting it all going again!? We think these calendars from Happy Serendipity and Oana Befort are the perfect additions to help this month right along too!

Which calendar are you making your desktop? And which do you think ours is!?

We have a question for you…

Okay.. so no more waiting.. go go go and meet them all!

Brace yourselves for some major cuteness, guys!  Our newest Designer of the Day, Sarah of Dreaming of Dandelions, is serving it up…left and right.  Sarah started her creative journey as a youngster and continues it today as a stay at home mom of two.  She taught herself to sew, and it was love at first stitch.  Combine that with her fondness for fashion and you end up with some pretty fabulous creations.  Sarah started out creating things for herself, and realized that it was just the creative outlet she needed…and so Dreaming of Dandelions was created.  And OH MY GOSH! We are drooling over here at her clutches, and pouches and totes…OH MY!  She adds just the right amount of modern, vintage and classic style to create some truly fun and beautiful pieces that we just want to get our grubby little hands all over! What’re you waiting for?  Check out her shop and like her page on facebook, so you can be kept up to date whenever her brilliant self adds something new to the store!
