have a happy weekend.

a [not so] new concept for friday posting...

instead of writing an entire post

I'm going to start to dedicate my friday post to

things from around the web

that i've stumbled upon &

that have me inspired

because maybe

they'll inspire you 

too! 

be happy.

Did everyone see the list of Oscar nominations? I'm going to try to watch as many nominees as possible before the big show. So far I've only seen The Help & Midnight in Paris.

I'll absolutely be making this pasta for dinner this week and this loaf on Sunday morning.

I absolutely love these DIY Valentine's Day decor ideas. The hearts cut from paint samples is my favorite.

I'm still on the fence about what color to get these shoes in - yellow or pink?

Has anyone ever used Rent the Runway? I'm considering trying it out and renting this gorgeous dress.

I love that the blog Green Wedding Shoes always asks their featured couples what songs they used in their ceremony. I'd love to do something a bit unique. Did any of you walk down the aisle to a non traditional song?

After reading this post and this one, Victoria got me thinking about a few purchases (50mm lens & photoshop elements). I can only finance one at a time and I'm leaning towards the new lens - bloggers who have both, what would your reco be?


Loved this Alt Summit recap - so many good lessons about blogging and life. 


many x's and o's to you. Happy Friday!
