signing off for the weekend with lovely and quirky home. i came across these photos earlier this week and while i still can't quite categorize the design style of this home, i do know that i love it. especially the entryway art and kitchen antlers/chalkboard. this weekend's diy project might include transforming the gold frame in this post into an inspiration board more like first photo.

hope you have a great weekend! xoxo

outfit inspiration

currently digging stripes and spots, belled sleeves {particularly poking out from under a blazer}, champagne hues, loads and loads of jewelry, trench coats haphazardly slung from shoulders and cuffed khakis.

want of the day: denim jacket

a denim jacket seems to be the perfect topper to just about any spring outfit. searching for a low cost option this weekend... or heading home to dig up mine from high school.

{american eagle - $34.50, levis - $79.50, rag and bone - $265}

rachel + olivia

rachel and olivia: my favorite two fashionista skittles around. i'm not sure anyone does casual chic better than miss bilson and i'm not sure i've ever seen olivia looking "casual".

dreamstate

this wedding rehearsal dinner is complete dreamstate. the setting, the colors... the lack of shoes! perfection.

we're attending a wedding this saturday (sadly it does not include sand and it does require shoes) and have some easter family gatherings on sunday. what are all of your plans? hope you have a relaxing weekend ahead!

west coast girls

how absolutely perfect are garance's photos from california? that first girl's "suit" bottom is this american apparel bodysuit scrunched down. seriously tempted to purchase, but pretty sure it's her flawless figure that i'm actually lusting after vs the polka dot swim shorts.

music festival style inspiration

it works out quite well that the most stylish music festival of the summer is also the first of festival season. i've been curating quite the inspiration folder for this summer's concerts...

and a long shopping list.
