Wishlist: June

1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6

Words can't even define how excited I am for summer. Warm mellow days stretched out, blank and ready for adventures and endless possibilities...

And in anticipation of the new season, I created a wish list to prepare for the carefree summer lifestyle:

(1) This art print is so whimsical and I think it would look as cute as a button framed and next to my desk.

(2) I really want to try an ombre style on my hair with some pretty red henna dye from LUSH! Natural looking, pretty, and non-damaging to my hair? Sign me up!

(3) I have been into the whole "galaxy trend" for a while now, but have yet to actually add a piece to my closet. Perhaps a pretty dress like this one?

(4) I really really really want some high waisted shorts. Problem is: every pair I find are always 

a) not in my size or b) a hideous color

(5) I love Burt's Bees Lipgloss like crazy! I need to add a few more to my ever-growing collection.

(6) A beautifully illustrated journal to record the summer adventures.

May wrap up

The month of May was the fastest month so far. Everything whizzed by in flying colors it seems, and a lot of important little events occurred (Ella's birthday, 2nd bloggiversary...) I am so glad the weather is heating up and can't wait to take a splash in the pool soon! 

Getting back to blogging
Farmer's Market

I am so excited that summer is almost here and can't wait to celebrate that here on the blog! I have some fun DIYs planned and some pretty yummy recipes I can't wait to share with you all...

friday favorites: sixteenth

Happy Friday! This week has been the fastest, loveliest week in a long time, and I can't be more thrilled for today to be here. I have a lot of awesome finds this week, feel free to take a look:

Knitted friendship bracelets

I heart these! Simple and light, and I think they'd make great layering bracelets. See the DIY here.

Coco Chanel

Word.

Book Mobile

I really want to try to make a book mobile like this! So simple and pretty and would look so pretty in a cozy little reading corner.

"Breathe" wood sign

Another beautiful handmade item I just love. See it here.

Silhouette

So cute & fun. I love it! 

Photography
This is so adorably fun and makes me smile. Next time I go to Disneyland, this is the first thing I'll try to snap a photo of. Mickey ears anyone?

Two years.

Two years ago, I began this blog, and I'l have to admit, I think its one of the best decisions I've ever made. I have met so many amazing readers and I'd just like to say a sincere thank you to all of you out there that take the time out of your day to come over here. Blogging has become such a big part of my life and I'd like to thank you once again for making these two years the very best -- without lovely readers like you, none of this would ever been possible.

Ella's first birthday.

I don't mean to sound like a crazy cat lady when I say this but -- today is my kitty Ella's first birthday! She was born today exactly one year ago, and I am so glad to have this adorable little black cat in my life. She's my little shadow, always a few steps behind me and the most curious cat I think I'll ever meet. She's a feisty, curious, playful, a hunter at heart, cuddly at times, and the most sassy cat I think I'll ever meet. She's come with her challenges (Ella is definitely the queen of the house). She's obsessed with rubberbands, ice cubes (don't even get me started), and little stuffed mice.

When I adopted Ella, the Humane Society didn't know much about her other than her birth date, that she was found alone as a kitten at 2 months, and thought she was a boy at first. (They named her Nick, then realized she was actually a girl, then renamed her Nicolette). My heart melted when I saw her and I knew she had to be mine.

Happy Birthday Ella bean!

xoxo, Nat
