Home Envy: Scandinavian Design

With the industrial feel, heated concrete floors and simple elegance, this home of Norwegian designer Ellen Thorsensen is absolutely charming. Do you notice that simple yet chic seems to be the theme in Scandinavian design? Love it or leave it?

Cake Smash

What a totally adorable idea for a first birthday photo shoot! Put a cake in front of them and shoot pictures of their mess. I really wish I would have done this for my little guy. Check out some more cuteness here.

Winter Bling

Since I have been missing the snow so much , I think these icy rings would be perfect to help me satisfy my winter longing. From one of my favorite places to find jewelry, they are totally sending my ring fetish into overdrive! Which one do you fancy?

I WON!!

Everyone knows someone in their life who appears to have all the luck, well that girl is NOT me. But maybe things are changing.... Out of all the giveaways I've entered, I finally won one! What did I win? This totally adorable 1960's vintage clutch from Emily at El Vintage (check out her stuff, it's amazing). Needless to say, I was on cloud nine all day yesterday. Can't wait to get it!

Maybe my clutch post last week channeled some good karma my way.

Manly Monday

How was your weekend? Our weekend was wonderful. I got a little me time, so I went and got my hair done. I didn't do it quite this red, but I put some red highlights in and I love it! Oh and I also found some new products (more later). I felt so pretty afterward that we went out with some friends that evening.

So I am dedicating a Monday post to the men out there. I realized over the weekend that I have been leaving them out. So welcome to my first Manly Monday!

Guys you can have a mustache even if your significant other doesn't love it. Okay, it's not a real mustache, but it is a REALLY cool mustache T. It's a compromise...

I've always liked wingtips on guys. The Sartorialist (Mr. Fashion) proves that they are still timeless and classic.

I know that these jackets may be a little fashion forward for some guys, but just think they are a sexier version of the cardigan. Ladies back me up. Aren't they awesome?

I found and fell in love with these quality and funky custom leather bags (man bags). They also make bags for laptops, iPads...etc.

Happy Manly Monday!

Have A Dreamy Weekend

This is going to be a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants kinda weekend for us. No set plans, but it's supposed to be absolutely Springlike here, so we'll be spending a lot of time outdoors. What are you up to this weekend? Any fun plans? I'd love to hear.

Here is some fun eye-candy for you to look at while you're browsing the web this weekend.

What a dreamy wedding!

Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor together again

Unconventional and unique wedding rings. Totally me.

This eco-friendly and modern house is bananas!

Perfect bridesmaids gifts

A DIY love banner. Adorable

Why didn't I think of this? Genius.

They taste like pineapple. Yum. Dying to try!

I am dreaming about this jacket

Unbelievably awesome - and cold

Hope you have a lovely weekend wherever you are!

Bloggers Conference Bummer

I just found out about this bloggers conference in Salt Lake City and am so bummed that I'm not there. SLC is a 2nd home to us (husband and I went to University of Utah) and I even have tons of free places to stay! Look at the line-up of speakers! All our favorite and fabulous blogs!

Oh and the registration comes with free tickets to Solitude, my favorite ski resort. It's where I learned to ski as a child and snowboard when I was first married (I still love the Sesame Street run).

Bumming hard guys, bumming hard.
