Where Did You Go? + New Favorites!

Over the weekend I found this picture of Marisa Tomei and I thought to myself 1. "Marisa Tomei, I love Marisa Tomei" and 2. "Where did you go Marisa Tomei?" Regardless of where she's gone, it's a cute picture and apparently it has something to do with Opening Ceremony- sorry I can't remember all the details.

Also I wanted to mention I've added some new favorite blogs I've been reading lately. They are so lovely I wanted to share. Look to your right for the "New!" under Favorite Places and take a peek when you've got some time.

Grown-up Shoes

I'm in love with this blog grown-up shoes that I found through {wit + delight}. She posts such wonderful things. Take a look below at some of the pretty things you will find there.

Thank You!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who was involved in Andrew's anniversary surprise. If you haven't stumbled across it yet you can go here, here, here or here. It was a great day. We spent it relaxing at the Mount Nelson Spa and then came home, made dinner together and climbed in bed with Michael Cera to watch Paper Heart and eat ice cream. Soooo thank you to Auburn & Ivory, Hooray, Squid, Aviary Studio, The City Sage, {Wit + Delight}, A Thing For, Frolic! and My Scandinavian Retreat for being part of our first anniversary. Truly amazing.

The Graceful Lady- Anna Allen

I can't remember how I found Anna Allen's blog- wildflowers::pretty, but oh man, I'm so glad I did. She is like the modern day Laura Ingles Wilder. She lives in Iowa and is always posting lovely images like the one's you'll find below of her simple, lovely, and refreshing fashion sense, different craft projects- mostly sewing, and her photography as well.



Another thing I love about her- she's in love with all things 19th Century and participates in Living History events- wear's the big bell skirts from Abraham Lincoln's day, shoots rifles, sleeps under the stars and lives off the land.



She's also got her own clothing line. Amazing. Check out her online shops here and here.

SUNKEN TREASURE

Visit SUNKEN TREASURE for fun jewelry, fun fashion and basically just for fun.

Meet Color Collective.

Color Collective is the amazing new blog of graphic designer, Lauren Willhite. When I look at her blog I feel like I'm looking at a hand picked, curated show of loveliness.

Lauren's Flickr images are equally wonderful. Definitely worth taking a trip over to her page to see the rest!
