INTERIOR INSPIRATION : PINK AND BLACK.

Why hellooo pretty color combination. I don't know what it is about pink and black together (perhaps it's the contrast of masculine and feminine), but I sure do love it a whole lot. I truly can't seem to get enough.

BESTIES.

• Wanderlust here in Portland is such a sweet spot.
  
• I really need to make these CMYK lanterns.
  
• I haven't been keeping up with the fashion weeks this season, so I'm glad to see Diana posted her favorites.
  
• Some pretty flowers to get you excited for spring.
  
• Heck yes: Pantone sweets.
  
• My kids would love making/playing homemade Twister on the lawn.
  
• Hilda sure does take pretty Instagram photos.
  
• How pretty (and totally stylish) is this baby quilt?
  
• This is my kind of home. Those dog portraits are like a dream!
  
• Super cute sisters. I kinda want them to be my friends.

TEN IMAGES OF INSPIRATION : STREET STYLE (FROM PINTEREST.)

I always love looking through street fashion photographs, and I've come to find that Pinterest has all sorts of street style inspiration (amongst many, many other things.) It gets me motivated to look better when I get out of my house, I can tell you that.

INTERIOR INSPIRATION : LANDSCAPE ART.

Currently dreaming of: having an entire wall absolutely covered in old landscape watercolors. There's a tavern in my neighborhood that does it, and I am madly in love with the way they all look, like little windows to far-away places. I think it's time for some more estate sale-hopping soon.
