Thank Goodness It’s Friday

I logged onto my computer after a long (i.e. so insanely exhausting) week of training, and I saw this cherry blossom picture on 100 Layer Cake. I instantly felt calm. I know what you’re thinking: Do I want some wine with that cheese? But seriously, it’s a gorgeous antique looking couch juxtaposed next to stunning Cherry Blossoms, and I absolutely love it. I wouldn’t mind it being transposed into my backyard at this very moment. Speaking of home, I’m heading back to Texas today, and boy, am I excited.

Nothing’s Better than a Fall Sweater

It’s fall, y’all. I know this to be a fact, since I’m currently in Chicago, where the wind feels bitter cold. All of my favorite fashion bloggers have begun posting sweater pictures, and I’m loving the transition from floral, summer get-ups into more muted, deep autumn shades. I’m definitely in the market for some great fall knits. Some of my favorite options right now are at Gap (polka dots!), J.Crew (hearts!), and Madewell (sheep!).

Elderflower and a Paper Straw, Please!

The Sweetest Occasion just posted a beautifully styled housewarming party, featuring bottles of Elderflower Pressé by Belvoir Fruit Farms, which I’d never heard about until seeing the shoot. As you already know from here, here and here, I love Elderflower – my all-time favorite cocktail is a St. Germain and club soda (with a paper straw, naturally). This fruity beverage is non-alcoholic, and I’m going to have to order it ASAP. Doesn’t it look delightful? I’m going to be drinking it by the gallon.

Kendra Scott is Coming to Houston

Kendra Scott is opening two boutiques in Houston – in Rice Village and CityCentre – and I could not be more excited. I just recently got two new necklaces and a pair of earrings (which were gifted to me by one of my best friends, Sophee), and I love all three pieces (see pics on my Instagram). On Friday, I was mentioned on the Kendra Scott blog for contributing some of my favorite Houston ‘to-do’ items. Check it out!

Oh BHLDN, how wonderful thou art!
