1.|| I am LOVING this Kate Spade Bow USB. I take a lot of photos of Camryn, and am constantly using my USB to store them and transfer pics between my macbook and iMac.

2.|| DIY lace elbow patches and heart – here’s the finished look. I love how they turned out, and will definitely be doing this to one of my own sweaters.

3.|| I found this darling elephant print on Etsy ( by Oana Befort) while sourcing items for a girls nursery (Full Nursery post on Monday), and love him! Isn’t he precious?

4.|| I’m flying home for my sister-in-laws babyshower next week, and I’m so excited!! They find out the gender in a few days and I can’t wait to start shopping for my ONLY niece/nephew. Future spoiled baby alert!!!

5.|| Since I’m flying home with Camryn, and without the help of my husband, I decided to have a carseat shipped to my In-Laws to avoid the hassle of bringing mine. This carseat is the #1 rated on Amazon, it’s cheap, and accommodates babies 5lbs-40lbs so my future niece/nephew can also use it when they visit home.

6.|| The man who became part of a lion pride. Amazing video – a must see.

7.|| This is such a great oversized clutch (it’s huge), and I love the optional monogramming. It comes in tons of great colors.

8.|| These “His & Her Vow” cards are darling, and the perfect gift for any couple getting ready to walk down the aisle. They’ll make great keepsakes for the Bride and Groom too, and would look beautiful framed and displayed on eachothers night stands as reminders. One of my sweet friends is getting married in May.

9.|| Goop did a “Guest Apartment Challenge” and this beautiful space was created. Check out all the photos here.

10.|| Jenn from The Chic Pad revealed her foyer makeover, and it’s beautiful! Go drool over it, you won’t be sorry.

Hope you all have wonderful weekends!!

1.|| Celebs dressing as other celebs. Ellen’s costume is hysterical.

2.|| I’ve had my eye on this Kate Spade watch. It’s so feminine, and classic.

3.|| A caramel apple bar – these look delicious, and like a fun kid activity, or addition to a party.

4.|| I received a Wet Brush in my October POPSUGAR box, and I am IN LOVE!! I have very long, curly, tangly hair, and I will never go a day without one of these ever again. Miracle worker!

5.|| Sometimes the most simple and functional decor is the prettiest. DIY gold + acrylic clipboards for office spaces.

6.|| This living room and dining room before and after are incredible. I absolutely love Kristen’s work!

7.|| Holiday inspired nails. I wish I had this type of nail painting talent!

Hope you all had a safe, and fun Halloween! My husband and I were Woody and Jessie, and Camryn was Buzz Lightyear. Pictures are on my Instagram if you want to see.

I’m also linking up with Lulu of Simply Lulu Style, so come visit me here.

1.|| This delicious pumpkin spice protein smoothie from LuluLemon. Healthy and yummy? Yes, please!

2.|| Have you heard about Martha Stewart’s opinion on bloggers? Leave me a comment below telling me what you think about her viewpoint. You might be surprised to know mine…

3.|| Crockpot applesauce – Camryn helped me make this on Monday, and we’ve been eating it all week. It’s so easy, and tastes like heaven! Peel & core 10-15 apples (basically fill your crockpot with apples), sprinkle cinnamon & sugar over apples to taste (I used about a tablespoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 cup of sugar). Cook on high 4-5 hours.

4.|| Pantone named the spring 2014 colors, and the color of the year – Dazzling Blue! I’ll be guest blogging next Wednesday over at “Can Ya Heel Me Now?” and talking about how those colors translate into shoes and your wardrobe.

5.|| Loreal’s Color Riche Nail Lingerie. My ring finger has the “Elite Chic” sticker over Revlon’s Gray Suede (which might be my all time favorite polish). It’s beautiful in person!! I’ve been wearing it for 2 days, and no chips, or peeling of the sticker. I’d like to try a few brands of these 3D nail art stickers to review for y’all soon.

6.|| I had the in-office Glo Whitening procedure done on Tuesday, and also purchased the take-home system for continued whitening, and touch-ups. I have incredibly sensitive teeth, and was nervous that I would feel that terrible tooth pain associated with whitening, but I had very little post-whitening discomfort. The system comes packaged beautifully and reminds me of Apple packaging. I plan on doing a full review of this product, with before/after photos, next week after I’ve used it more. I’ll include links on where to buy, and how to save money while making this “splurge purchase” as well.

8.|| Clever Halloween costumes – As a mom, and a lover of Harry Potter, #3 was the obvious winner for me!

9.|| After our rainy weekend, where I nearly lost my mind from being a caged animal, I started looking for activities to help Camryn and I survive this coming winter. This list will be a huge help!

10.|| This weekend I am taking the Tobias chair from ikea, and giving it my best “Ikea Hack”, and hoping it turns out similar to this. Mama needs a new office chair. I’ll share pictures next week.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
