Swoony, Stripey, Saturday

I can't tell you how thrilled I am that spring is finally here!!  I hate to temp fate, but I think we are finally in the clear for warmer weather...without the threat of snow.

Although I have been playing around with my blog for quite some time, this was the first week that I diligently posted every.single.day.  While it was quite time consuming (how do you guys do it?), I had so much fun coming up with each and every post.  A huge thank you for reading...especially those extra special people who took the time to comment. 

My heart is all swoony. 

Here are a few things that also made my heart go pitter~patter this week.

Not only did my heart go pitter~patter when I checked in at one of my favorite blogs this week, I think it *might* have actually stopped for a second or two. 

I am absolutely smitten with the entire look, but most especially her hair. 

My birthday is on Monday, and I promise to trade in my signature messy bun, and celebrate with this, more sophisticated, updo + bow + tons of fabulous jewelry!

This tutorial (from another one of my favorites) was from a little while ago, but as I was wandering around Walmart Friday...in search of potting soil, I came across the perfect sunglasses for a little DIY project of my own. 
(Check back next week to see how it turned out!)

PS. I don't know how I ended up in the accessory section while looking for potting soil either.


And last but not least...

I discovered Everybody, Everywear this week. 
It is a super fun way to see tons of individual twists on a trend
&
 I am always smitten with a clever play on words. 
I can.not.wait to find out what May's challenge will be. 

PS.  How cute are her jeans?  They remind me of the jeans I was coveting here)

I hope you have a swoony weekend!
