August Playlist

This month I'm loving a mix of old and new. I hope you enjoy!

Typography Faves

Seriously, I get chills when I see some good typography. I'm a typography geek and I'm proud of it!

Quotes & Sayings Sunday: Helen Keller

Sometimes it's hard to remember this.

Look Forward to Fall

I don't know about you but I am ready for the cooler weather! I probably say that at the end of every summer but this summer's humidity was off the charts. I want cozy sweaters, scarves and warm, rich, deep colors to occupy my wardrobe once again. The outfit above is definitely my go-to ensemble for the fall and winter season. I'd wear this apple picking or to a haunted house or through a corn maze. Basically, I just love fall! 

Sweater // Scarf // Shoulder Bag // Jeans // Polish // Oxfords

Color Scheme of the Month: Beige

For August I choose the color beige for my color scheme of the month series. I feel that beige is a nice color to end the summer with. It's a simple reminder of the beach, the golden sand and ultimately the summer season itself. 

I hope everyone had a great summer! Go out and enjoy what's left of it!!

Quotes & Sayings Sunday: Gandhi

I think forgiveness is something we all struggle with. I know I do. This quote makes me realize that forgiving someone is the strongest thing I can do and the most worthwhile act I can do for myself.

Beautiful Kitchens

I know I can't be the only one who drools over beautiful kitchens, right?! To make a meal in any of these kitchens would truly be a dream come true. The thing I love the most in these pictures is the Smeg fridge! The things I would do for a Smeg, man. I also love the idea of a clear fridge door (though, you'd have to keep your fridge pretty neat!) And I can't forget to mention all the gorgeous tile work. I especially love the subway tiles (who am I kidding, I am OBSESSED with subway tiles). 

The Summer of the Brute

Update on the pup!

Brutus is getting bigger and bigger by the second! He is still a bit nippy but he's learning not to bite too hard. As you can see, he's been loving the beach this summer. He got to hang out with his sister Sonnet and his biological mama Marsha. 

I think he looks pretty handsome in his new collar. He doesn't wear it very often; only when we go out and about. For the dog owners out there, check out Lupine collars... they are great! Very durable and they have a lifetime guarantee (even if chewed)!

Quotes & Sayings Sunday: Eleanor Roosevelt

Words to live by!

Wish I Could Live In: Newfoundland

I don't know why but I have a fascination with Newfoundland. It just seems like such a warm and cozy place to live. I can imagine living in some little cottage by the sea, drinking tea and reading a book by the window as I watch the snow fall.

Now that would be amazing.

Color Inspiration: black beach, white sea

The moment I saw this picture on Pinterest, I knew it had to be featured in this edition of Color Inspiration. It has an obvious dark and brooding quality to it but I also think it's very beautiful. I wouldn't want to go swimming there or anything haha but it would be nice to look at from afar!

Quotes & Sayings Sunday: Douglas Adams

It took a long time but I'm finally here :)

Summer Drinks: Wet Your Whistle

Even though it's now August, it doesn't mean summer is over! There are still many get togethers and BBQs and parties to celebrate. Each of these drinks is a perfect way to toast to the last scraps of summer. In fact, these drinks would be perfect for Labor Day. Hey, I'd probably drink these all year round, now that I think of it. They are just too tasty to relegate to just the summer months!
