Pinterest Picks: 08. 22. 11

Hi lovelies! Did you all have a relaxing weekend? I was super busy on a couple projects that kept me hurry-scurrying, but it was a fun weekend none the less. In my rather time-evaporated state I still managed to make it over to Pinterest for my weekly fix (I just can't stay away from that place, sheesh), and spotted a few sunny little pins that seemed the perfect kick-off to this new week. I hope you agree! If you'd like, you can see my previous pinterst picks right here. xo Ez

Etsy Finds + Faves: 08. 12. 11

Hi friends! I apologize for having this post to you so late today. Unfortunately I woke up this morning with two migraines (one right after the other) and so my plan to simply add the finishing touches and have it ready for you on time was thrown off track. I know you understand...and for that you are awesome!

Anyhow, here are a few pretties from etsy that I'm loving right now and hope you'll enjoy too. Have a fabulous weekend however you spend it! I'll see you here again next week. xo Ez

Color Crush: A First Look at Fall

For weeks I'd been obsessing with this color palette for the coming Fall when I came across this amazing illustration by Carson Ellis that perfectly captures every single hue I'm loving right now. Thank you Carson!

Of course this wouldn't be much of a post without at least a small roundup of color-coordinating items that I'm also digging right now. What are your favorite colors for Fall? Do you have any color forecasts for the season? Of all the possible colors I think I'll be putting my money on teal. Love it! xo Ez

Today I Love: Illustrated Paper Garlands

Today I am looooving these illustrated garlands by Kaye Blegvad. My first favorite (though I love them all, so it's hard to say) is probably her Illustrated Paper Birds Garland, followed by the Illustrated Paper Lions Garland (it would be so great for a little boy's room) and Illustrated Paper Feathers Garland (love it).

There are even more illustrated garlands as well as some fabulous art prints in Kaye's shop, so be sure to skip on over and check them out pronto. xo Ez
