Loving: Fish Tail Skirts

Months ago I spotted this amazing skirt. Unfortunately they were out of my size and I couldn't find anything else like it....until now. Gorgeous. What do you think of fish tail skirts? Would you rock one?

Monday Mild Obsession: Vince Contarino

This Brooklyn-based artist has officially inspired me to pick up some paint brushes and get to work. New York friends, please check out some of his current exhibitions so I can live vicariously through you.

Neon Nude

No matter the season, I always tend to gravitate towards neutral tones when it comes to my wardrobe. Lots of grey (heather grey is my absolute FAV), white, black and beige. I know, I know - super boring. But this is why I have completely fallen for this neon/nude trend. Such a great way to update some of your basics and its just a splash of fun. Think I'll start small with the nail polish.

Taste the Rainbow

Since featured in Styled months ago, I cannot get this image out of my brain when I see sprinkles. And since then I have been allured to all sorts of treats embellished with the colorful adornments. Whether it be delectable strawberry milk whoopie pies or a glorious funfetti cupcake, everything tastes better with sprinkles.

And how fun is this inexpensive way to spruce up a candle?

All That Glitters...

Feeling like I need a little end-of-the-week pick-me-up. Nothing a little sequins can't do.

P.S. I am totally getting my hands on that nail polish this weekend.

Hungry?

Quite simply put, I cannot get enough of Food Gawker. As you may know, I'm not much of a cook (mostly because I think I am just intimidated), but the endless drool-worthy photos on this site make me want to get in the kitchen and work it.

Some enticing recipes to try this summer:

{ pulled pork with cornbread }

{ s'mores bars }

{ potato salad }

{ watermelon lemonade }

{ lemon pound cake parfaits }

Perfect Palette

Could not be more infatuated with the color palette in the restoration of this Ohio 1890's German Village house. The combination of the modern creamy whites with aged dark woods and industrial accents is quite dreamy...
