I’ve really been enjoying the dailies series over at Design for Mankind. it’s always fun to get a glimpse into someone else’s busy life. and it’s fun to see a personal side to these bloggers and business owners too! check them out here.

aside from having really cute shoes and styling, their website is pretty sweet as well. just make sure you listen for the feet splashing!

I love these looks from John Patrick Organic. not only are they fully sustainable and natural garments, they have a classic, fresh look.

I simply adore these shoes. so cute, so graphic, so fresh… I’d totally buy them in a heart beat, if only I wasn’t $400 short.

I am in desperate need of some new denim. my once skinny jeans have now become my “I can’t wear them for too long before they stretch and literally fall off because they are just too big for me” jeans. I know that there are some fabulous denim brands out there, but I just can’t bring myself to flop out a big handful of cash for a pair of premium denim. quite honestly, I don’t know the first thing about premium denim and haven’t cared to take the time to find out. I do know which brands have been good to me, and which styles fit. I’m toying with the idea of trouser jeans, but most I’ve tried are too long, and I’m also up for a pair of black denim that won’t fade.
oh, the denim woes. got any suggestions? I’m over flare jeans… and I’m beginning to tire of boot cut too. so I’m thinking straight leg, and oh… not skinny fit.

with my upcoming trip to Florida in May, I can’t stop thinking about warm sunshine, sandy beaches, and boat trips. while I have tons of bikinis and I’m sure I don’t need another suit, I think this will be the year for a one piece. I never thought I’d say that I’m eying a one piece suit, but lately the styles have been a lot sexier and more fun. however, it just amazes me how much these little pieces of nylon can cost. especially since I don’t live 30 minutes from the beach anymore.

I totally love:
animal charms. {thanks Heather, these are awesome!!}
slim capris, red shoes, and stripes. {speaking of Levi’s…}
her Easter paintings.

I can hear:
my stomach growling I’m so hungry.

I can feel:
the sweetness of springtime in the air.

I can almost taste:
celebration beers and tasty dinner.

I can’t wait:
for my trip to the Sunshine State this May. {no seriously, I can’t wait!}

I’m excited for:
sneak peaks.
tiny things in felt and fabric.
creating and planning.

happy friday my friends!
