Friday Favorites: Inslee by Design

My Friday Favorites centers around Inslee Haynes of Inslee by Design. An NYC illustrator, artist and designer extraordinaire. Not only can you oogle over her beautiful illustrations daily by subscribing to her blog, you can also purchase her prints, calendars, note cards and even commission her to design images for your blog or bridal party.

How fun would it be to have Inslee sketch your life into what could be its most glam ever? Spending your Saturday gliding about Paris with your favorite Birkin or maybe grabbing a well manicured coffee with your bestie.

I look at Inslee's sketches and think, "Oh, I want that life!". She makes the ordinary task of shopping for groceries look elegant. Her drawings take you away to another place where car horns and a ripped hem on your dress don't exist. 

Please do take a minute to peruse her website and swoon over all of her amazing work.

I hope your Friday has found you excited for the weekend! I'll talk to you soon!

Friday Favorites 5.17.13 by lovelybdavis 

I have a few of my favorite things from this past week that I thought I would share with you!

*Essie nail polish in Lollipop {On my toes}
*Essie nail polish in Ballet Slippers {On my fingers}
*My new favorite perfume, Wild Bluebell by Jo Malone
*Alas, its true, I've grown fond of everyone with long hair and have decided to let mine grow out again... at least for the summer. I miss my beachy waves!
*Madeleine Peyroux has been my Pandora station of choice and all of her records are on repeat on Spotify all.week.long. If you like Billie Holiday you will love her! I like to listen to her while browsing Pinterest or while taking a bath. Pure relaxation!
In other news...Thank goodness its Friday 'cause this gal is ready to sleep in! I hope you have a lovely Friday evening!

Friday Favorites: Dreaming of Kitchens

Its Friday! 

{I’m sure you’re well aware of the days of the week, I’m guessing that was no surprise to you}

Friday in my heart and at my office is always looked forward to.

 No. 1: It’s casual day. No need to think of which heels to wear, just throw on my jeans, flats and a cute top. 

No.2 I get to sleep in the next day. I enjoy sleep so much! I know many say, “You’ll sleep when you’re dead” but gosh, I love sleeping now! Waking up without an alarm is glorious. Friday makes me hopeful of sleep to come!

Being that it’s Friday I thought it fitting to share my Friday Favorites! *Don’t you just love alliteration?!*

Like I have mentioned many-a-time before, I’m obsessed with Tumblr. It’s like Pinterest but without categorizing or a magazine of all your favorite images without those pesky sentences! This must make me sound terribly lazy. Ah, well, I guess so!

I have been attracted to interiors and home exteriors lately. I feel you can find your true taste by what you repin or repost. You can sort of hone in on what colors, shapes and styles you are attracted to.

Above are some kitchen photos that I have salivated over. Straight up, face to the computer screen, mouth wide open, wishfully thinking of the day I can have a kitchen like one of them.

The weather this weekend is supposed to be ridonculous… like 71 and sunny. I’m planning on wearing flip flops and maybe pulling out one of my maxi dresses!

Have a fantastic weekend; I’ll talk to you soon!!
