    DIY minimal shape pumpkins

    DIY minimal shape pumpkins | almost makes perfectminimal-shape-pumpkins-almost-makes-perfect

    i was thinking this year i’d skip halloween posts. but then i realized i wanted some pumpkins outside for the trick or treaters so i might as well come up with something. and guess what — you can totally be festive while avoiding orange. and you might be surprised i even used a bright color like royal blue — but i’m currently into royal blue right now. i’m also into shapes (we know this). therefore i really like these. and they look so rad on our doorstep! Read More

    THIS POST IS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH sWHEAT SCOOP.

    ALL OPINIONS ARE 100% MY OWN.

    i don’t know about you, but i’m always on the hunt for pretty cat things because they’re few and far between. and all the classy looking cat stuff seems to cost way more than it should too, right? so i thought it would be nice to have a cute litter scooper! Read More

    now that the weather’s cooling down, i want to focus some energy back onto making the inside of our house pretty too. i’ve been swooning over pom pom blankets for a while now, so thought it would be super fun to make one, but instead of the traditional Moroccan ones you’ve seen that are basically a mud cloth type of fabric, i wanted to use a really soft quilt so it would not only look cute, but be really cozy too.

    lobster roll

    today gid and i are leaving town and going for a road trip in maine — we’re so excited. we have our itinerary pretty planned out (like 25 lobster roll places in 8 days), but we’re also going to try to wing it here and there and stop where we see cool things and do it proper. you can follow along on instagram and maybe snapchat (although i’ve been just doing IG lately because its all just too much)

    let’s talk when i’m back, shall we?
