I received some awful news today and I am experiencing a funny shift in priorities because of it. Death is a funny thing, striking those you least expect when you least expect it. It makes you pause for a moment and re-evaluate your surroundings. So I am glad for the coming long weekend and for spending some quality time with friends and family. Take a moment this weekend and look around you. You are loved, I promise, and that is more important than all the little things that cause us stress every day. I will back on Monday. xoxo

15May[ wishlist wednesday ] The Overall

We all know that fashion is endlessly cyclic but that doesn’t stop me from being occasionally surprised by what comes back up the pipe. For example: overalls. Fortunately, this time around they look a little different than their 90s predecessors. The legs are narrower and the overall fit is quite slim, making for a much more flattering shape (especially in the back – hello!). The bib also has a slimmer feel with narrower straps, lower cut and not as many pockets. The washes come in a full array of colors so take your pick of light, dark or anywhere in between. They are what the cute girls about town are already wearing.

1 – Current/Elliott The Ranch Hand Overalls- Shopbop – $368
2 – Washed denim overall – Free People – $148
3 – 5030 slouchy overall – J. Brand – $345

4 – Urban Renewal Tapered Overall – Urban Outfitters – $59
5 – Sweet Sunday Overalls – Nasty Gal – $62
6 – Citizens of Humanity Quincy Overall- Revolve Clothing – $297

14May[ things I love ] Terrariums

Confession time. This weekend I thrifted a glass bowl with the intention of creating a terrarium. I guess that combined with my new-found love of making pickles tips me right on over into the hipster zone. Whatever though. I am far from a green thumb but I am looking forward to my new little project. It will have to wait until next weekend though so in the mean time I am looking at theses ones online and getting inspired.

1 – diy table top
2 – bubble terrarium
3 – geo terrarium from Jayson Home
4 – boris hurricane
5 – moss terrarium
6 – terrarium with ceramic base
7 – faceted suspended terrarium
