friday favorites: twelfth

Pompom banner

What's better than a few pompoms? Not much.

Crochet Pattern

I haven't crocheted anything in a while (the granny square quilt project in still in progress) and this looks like a fun quick project to try! Get the pattern here.

Quotes

I don't know what I'm supposed to say about this too-true quote. Truth rings here.

Beautiful

This gorgeous photo reminds me of when I went camping and the morning I left, there was a beautiful view like the one shown above. Breathtaking and giving you a sense of new-ness and new beginnings.

DIY Flower Garland

I love this beautiful flower garland, and I really can't wait to create this beautiful room decor. This weekend's project?

xoxo, Nat

Friday Favorites: tenth

TGIF! Another good week is passing us by, and yet I'm still hopeful for some warmer Spring weather. I do enjoy a mellow weekend though! Here's a few of my favorite picks this week that I think will make you smile...

DIY - Mario Bros inspired

I'm a bit of a Mario Bros. fan, and when I saw this adorable DIY over at Mollie's blog a while back, I couldn't help but make one myself! 

Why it Rains
It's rained a bit this week and I just adored this cute illustration. So adorable :)

Wise Words
I really need to listen to more of this advice! I need to overthink things less and do things more. Take the plunge.

Kitties
Kittens kittens kittens -- I seriously cannot get enough of these adorable little fur balls. they are SO cute!

My top pick this week: "The Speaker" necklace
I love this necklace so much! It's adorable, cute, whimsical, and pretty much wraps up my style all in this beautiful piece. So far, this is my all time favorite thing I've ever posted, and think this is the best necklace I'll ever see ♥

That wraps up this week's Friday Favorites! Have an awesome weekend!
xoxo, Nat

friday favorites: ninth

Whew! It's hard to believe that this week is pretty much over! This week has been a crazy, busy, whirlwind week and I'm glad the weekend is here to enjoy and have some downtime. I'll be back here blogging after a much needed blogging break. Here's this week's faves:

Oxfords

I'm kind of obsessed with oxfords at the moment. Like a lot. And I think these are beautiful :)

Scarves

I know, I know. Winter's almost over, Nat! But hey, a girl can wait until next winter, right?

DIY

I love this DIY zipper pouch, and I think I just might have to try out this ombre pouch! Cute and practical. This is my kind of project.

Awwwww.... 

ITS A BABY ALPACA! (Yes, I did just type that up in all caps) I think baby alpacas are my favorite little baby animals ever.

xoxo, Nat

Friday Favorites: eighth

This week has been a bit of a slow-fast one hasn't it? As in, fast the first 2 days of the week and slow the last three. I hit a bit of a blogging rut as I'm sure you could tell (I didn't post Wednesday or Thursday! Yikes). I really haven't felt motivated to post as I had literally no posts in mind for this week. None. Zip. Zero. So this weekend, I'm going to finish planning the rest of this month's editorial calendar to keep things moving along and better than ever!

DIY

How genius is this DIY idea? I really want to try it out and although it was meant for an Oscars viewing party, you can still use it for pretty room decor right? 

Quotes I heart
Can this ring any more true to me? I love this quote and have written it down on my hand to later copy out and tack on my wall! That's how much I love it.

Swing
Indoor swings are the cutest things ever! I've wanted one forever, and it would make a pretty nice super-early Christmas presents (hint...hint..)

Homemade Face Toner

I'm always looking for a great toner, and I think this just might be it! 

Flowers + Flower crowns
This is really the best combo ever. Flowers and more flowers look so pretty and dainty. The image really captures that and I really like the way it was taken.

Temporary Tattoos
I'm always on the search for some cute temporary tattoos and these lovely woodland animal ones are one of my favorite finds I'll share with you this week.

Happy Friday!
xoxo, Nat

friday favorites: seventh

I seriously cannot believe that it's already Friday. Yes, Friday! I have a pretty lovely jam-packed weekend in store, and I'm looking forward to squeezing in a little art filled afternoon...
That said, this week's Friday Favorites is pretty full too!

DIY Gold Tipped Bowl
I'm kind of obsessed with gold DIY items! They look so cute and so simple and they're so easy to make! (which is always a plus)

Pretty
I love pretty photos like this. They always bring back memories and make me smile :)

Favorite find of the week: Pocket Princesses

I found these adorable illustrations through Pinterest and I fell in love with them! They are so cute and have so much character I couldn't resist spending a few hours looking through all of them!

Quotes and Advice

I just love this quote to pieces! Too true and a bit of a reminder that you're never too busy to do something.

Art Print

Another etsy print I just adore. If I had more cats (as in: more than one) this would definitely be me.

Hair bun

Eeek! Hairstyle of the moment right here! Simple, cute, and oh so practical. I. love. this.

xoxo, Nat

Friday Favorites: sixth

Friday is here already, can you believe it? I really can't. A slow, but mellow week is nice, but I'm looking forward to the next one! They don't call it snow week for nothing (hint...hint...)

DIY tote bag
How pretty is this bag? And the best part? It's super-simple and easy to make! See the DIY here.

Ombre Embroidered Hearts

These stitched hearts are so pretty to start with, but with ombre thread, I'm sold! I found my next project...

Custom Home Portraits

I love this idea! Get your house hand-sketched as a cute memento. I love this idea to bits and pieces -- perhaps as a page in your journal or scrapbook?

Caravan Cottages

Seeing this photo makes me want to buy a little caravan, get a map, and start driving! A life on the road with a little house like this makes me wish summer was here now.

Quotes
This week's good advice -- how does it apply to your life?

xoxo, Nat

Friday Favorites: first edition

It's my very first time doing a ''Friday Favorites" and I'm delighted to be starting! I'm still getting the hang of it, so just stay with me :)

Flower Crowns
I love the whimsical look of flower crowns -- the daintiness, the flowers, everything! I've been meaning to do this tutorial for a while now, but haven't quite gotten to it. Perhaps this weekend's to-do project?

Diana vintage cameras

Vintage cameras are my latest obsession and Diana cameras are currently my favorites. I'm still looking for that perfect one-- I saw one the other day at Urban Outfitters, but it was $60 (ouch!) Just a bit out of my price range...

Beautiful Gemstone Necklaces

Anyone who knows me will know that I'll buy a necklace over a shirt any day -- and this is no exception! It's so pretty and dainty. I can't wait to buy this one.

Favorite blog post this week: Uniquely Me

This post was amazing; an eye opener, and beautifully written. Not to mention a great pick-me-up! Jenny's posts are always heartfelt and this one is now one of my favorites. Make sure to read the post (you can see it here.)

I hope you enjoyed this week's picks! I'll see you tomorrow with a group sponsor intro...
