places to go | Grosse Pointe Florist

{Grosse Pointe Florist} is nestled in between gorgeous homes, in a pretty obscure place in my hometown of Grosse Pointe, Michigan. I'm not sure how/why they're allowed to exist smack-dab in the middle of neighborhood, but there they are. It's a perfect stop on the way home from less charming errands like getting gas or going to the bank.

Get your mom, BFF, or girlfriend a bouquet of tulips. Ask for extra ribbon. Trust me.

Inspiration | Girly camping

I read an article a couple months ago about using retro-camping as inspiration for decorating a living room. The idea sounds crazy, but the room had awesome rustic details, Hudson Bay blankets, even a cool lighting fixture that looked like a tee-pee.

This spread in {Rookie Yearbook One} reminded me of that, except with a super girly twist. Patches, sashes, collared shirts, berets - maybe I won't be following this fashion receipe to a tea, but I'm definitely going to draw inspiration and use it... somewhere... at some point... right?

Sometimes cataloging things you love "just because" can come in handy for those days when it seems like nothing is exciting you.

february friday

There's something about mid-February that just makes me want to chuck everything and coast right into spring. This week has been chilly, but sunny. It's very reminiscent of those last days in winter when the crisp is still in the air, but there's a feeling that something warm is just over the horizon.

This weekend will be spent checking out the new spring collections that arrived in stores, making some homemade snacks (since I'm trying to be gluten free for Lent), and getting together a summer reading list. What are you up to?
