{ my happy place }
As I write this, I am in an extremely happy place. I was lucky enough to get a few hours of relief from Cora (huge thanks to my MIL!) and am sitting at the cafe in Barnes & Noble. I haven't done something like this in goodness knows how long and boy does it feel good to be out during the day by myself getting some work done, essentially doing what I love. It's funny. I've really changed my schedule to accommodate being a stay-at-home mom. I work after she goes to bed unless I need to photograph something during the day, then I just pray that she cooperates while I try to get it done. But as much as I love being with Cora all day, the best time for me to be really productive with the blog and my soon-to-be reopened shop is, of course, during the day. By the time Cora is in bed and we've eaten dinner, I am beyond exhausted and the last thing I want to do is open my laptop. So, as you can imagine, I am somewhat giddy at the moment while I sit here typing away with my Izze Grapefruit drink and Blondie Blast (I kid you not, that's what they're calling this Blondie with mini M&M's) in hand.

I haven't written one of these link love posts in a while (or ever?) so I thought I would today. There have been so many things that I've seen on the internet that I obsess over or think that needs to be shared so here we go!


Both the JOA Pleated Skirt & DVF Amelia Skirt would be the perfect addition to any Spring wardrobe, no?

Christine Dovey's Home Tour is on Style Me Pretty's site and it is beyond the most fabulous and perfect home tour I've ever seen. She is pretty much my design idol and everything she does it perfection. Go check it out, there are a ton of photos that you'll just die over.

How can I not talk about link love without mentioning Fashion Week happening around the world? These are literally just a few of my favorites but you can kind of tell just from these three what I'm really digging right now. Fur, floaty/feminine pieces, and bold embellishments/prints. Sounds right on point :)
J.Crew is having a huge sale and this skirt is calling my name. And so is this coat which I know will never happen but I can dream, right?

As you know, I've been on the hunt for a new coffee table and well, this is definitely a top contender. And we don't really need another side table, but this is just too good not to share.

How fun is this from my friend Tammy? Love these kinds of guessing games.

I'm hoping to make this yummy Blueberry Nut Crumble from Mandy this weekend - doesn't it look sooo good!

Hope you all have a wonderful Friday and a fabulous weekend!!
