in case you're a little unclear, i'm a fan of color (what?!)

especially, though, when it's unexpected.

i wish i had a dresser that amazing, and i wish the hubs liked the color purple. because i would paint it just that hue display it oh-so-proudly. in the entry, for all to see.

anyway, that's what's made me happy this morning. hope it does the same for you.

off to a photo shoot! (umm...yay?!)

my yesterday.

{Daniela Duncan}

so i spent my yesterday beached...in a chair...on the sand...with my legs dangling in the cool, salty water.
it was bliss. my aunt was in hilton head, so the Mr. and i drove south to sit in a chair...on the sand...with our legs in the water :) it was worth the traffic we fought to get there.

it's friday.

therefore, you should:

bake something yummy.

{my tartlette}

shop the local market.

{once wed}

run to the beach.

{pearl and silk}

photograph your shoes.

{mode de vie}

and make a collage.

can't wait to wander the market myself and whip up some yummy fare from the local goodies i bring home. then head to the beach for some rays of sunshine. and eat lots of cherries, of course.

and, on a very different note,

i'm thinking of dying my own hair over the weekend...which may in fact be a terrible idea.

maybe dye is the wrong word...although it does involve what could be a rather permanent change.

i'm really just wanting to throw a few hilites in around my face and in my roots to lighten my natural dark blonde to more of a golden, sun-kissed hue. it's my (maybe foolish) attempt to save some mulah.

so...anyone attempted this DIY hair-altering venture at home?

if so...advice please!!

what product did you use? any tips that i need to know/ life altering do's and dont's?

i really don't want a "bleached" hilite look...going for a much more natural look-- like hair painting, if you've heard the term?

oh, this could be bad...

inspired and happy, this morning, by:

'

yes, i certainly will take that amazing, blue-washed antique dresser for my bare bedroom wall.

so generous of you to offer.

do the flowers come with?

have you seen?

okay, i don't know which is more embarrassing:
admitting that The City is my guilty pleasure, or that I'm an admirer of Olivia Palermo.
Ok--wait...admirer of her style. the girl is ice cold, but she can dress.

so for the month of April Vogue documented every outfit O.P. wore into work each day.
talk about pressure at the closet.
anyway, fun to see. thought you might think so as well.

happy, in the morning, this morning:

things my camera sees.

my morning cup of jo.

a sunny patio chair in the backyard.

 the blackberry cobbler i made...which we ate...immediately.

my apron collection, hanging in the kitchen.

this morning i'm an admirer of:

on a side note, you may have noticed my new header. and that my header seems to change...mm...a lot.

design ADD is certainly to blame: i get bored easily as i see it everyday...so i thought changing it up would be fun. it's also to show the range of blog design work i can do--so it may change often! 

hope you're having the loveliest of days.

blog design.

a glimpse at the newest header to hit the blogging world:

Meagan lives what's sure to be an amazing life in Jackson Hole, so I'm a bit excited she's decided to keep tabs on her day-to-day with a blog. she wanted a header that was fun, eye-catching and representative of the west, so this is what i gave her.

she picked the top one.

she's a newbie, and has yet to post, but i'd bookmark The Egg anyway if i were you.
entertainment will be in your near future :)

what's making me happy, this a.m. :

hope you are feeling just as happy, this morning.
