Swept Away...

Cinnamon Buns + Pumpkin Lattes...

I'm picturing a perfectly cozy holiday, sitting by the fire, baking, sipping on lattes. Yum...


I found this delicious recipe on Cupcakes & Cashmere for Cinnamon rolls and an easy way to whip up Pumpkin Spice Lattes at home.

Happy Friday...

Hope you all have a wonderful relaxing weekend before the Thanksgiving holiday:) xo

Look of the Day...

Love this chic look from Zara's Street Style pages . I hunted down the wax effect zip trousers, and striped sweater dress. The bag, sadly, I couldn't find...but I'm still on that mission!

Being Creative...

I saw this list and just loved it, firstly, I am a list maker almost on a daily basis - whether it's work brainstorming, big ideas and dreams, or small tasks and things to accomplish. Sometimes I want to white board every wall in my apartment. It's also a great reminder of little things that can spark creativity when you are not feeling inspired. {via a note on design}

Black + White Accents...

Love neutral backgrounds in living spaces with bold black and white accents. {images via escapade, pinterest}

Lay Me Down to Sleep...

Ahh, don't these bedrooms look beautiful and perfect for restful nights! How do you mix a masculine and feminine style in the bedroom? Which is your favorite here? {images via Pinterest}

Happy Friday...

Are you as excited as I am for the weekend? Hip hip hooray. This week (as most weeks) was definitely one for the books, work is crazy busy. I barely have a moment. This weekend I plan on enjoying the fall weather and attacking a personal list of to do's that is sliding. This is a great quote that I wanted to share - it's a motto. Have a wonderful one and don't forget to turn back the clocks! xo {image via hi society}
