freebie of the day : free beards for all!
If you didn't know it by now, I am quite a lover of beards, so I highly appreciate today's freebie: the ever-so stylish Build a Beard Workshop. Just select your beard of choice (I think Poseidon's might just be my favorite) and print it out or use Photoshop to stick it on your face. You can even email them a picture of your bearded self and they will donate $1 to Kiva. Pretty darn cool, eh? I think I might just be wearing these around town, so be on the lookout.
interior inspiration : the first day of spring.
I just cannot resist posting lovely springtime-esque images today. Sure, it's still quite rainy here, but I am excited for sunnier weather around the corner and the whole town blooming.

french love.
I know that I have seen this shirt before, but I was just reminded of how much I like it when I just spotted it over on perfectbound. It can be translated to basically mean, "I'll be there for you always. And I'll get you drunk when you're sad." That is what it's all about. (By CubistLiterature, $26)

ten images of inspiration : i want to ride my bicycle.
What is it that is so endearing about photographs of cute people with bicycles? I don't know why I love them so much, but I really, really do.

freebie of the day : a sweet wedding idea.
Ellie of the beautiful blog mint is getting married next month and decided that instead of rice, she would like bird seed thrown at them by their guests (makes more sense than rice, right?) She designed pretty little labels and put together packs of birdseed to give out. What is even nicer about this is that she has shared her labels and directions for making the packets right here. Is anyone getting married soon?
interior inspiration : pops of green.
Wrapping up my day of (mostly) green, here are some stunning interiors featuring the color of the day. I must admit, I have never been much of a fan of green when it comes to home decorating (our walls were quickly painted from green to blue right upon moving in), but I have recently realized that it really can look quite beautiful.
