Yipes, I’ve been squirreling away some of these links for ages! I apologize for the delay; I’ve been sorta busy.
♥ Red-eye reduction tips. Helpful stuff, especially now that holiday party season is in full swing.
♥A nicely curated list of DIY stocking stuffers. I like.

♥ An easy, vintage-y, girly decorating idea.
♥ Majorly digging this Dolly P. inspired editorial in the latest Rue magazine. Lovely outtakes found here.
♥ AMEN TO ALL OF THIS: What I won’t ask you if you tell me you’re engaged.

OK, I’m off to warm up some supper and then it’s off to see a rockin’ (old country) band. Happy Tuesday y’all!

♥ I love the simple bouquets shared on Found While Walking. So unfussy and fresh.

♥ Christina has been posting nothing but vintage photos of her gorgeous grandma over on her tumblr this week and they are all so happy-making. The one above I found to be particularly adorable.
♥ Speaking of family photos, I’ve also been completely captivated by Backyard Bill’s series of family portraits. His work is always so, so great.

♥ 100 thank yous go to Rebecca from Minn Chic for giving the heads up that the OPI collection inspired by The Muppets (!!!) is coming soon. You can view the slide show of colors here; I pretty much want them all.
♥ Have you been weeping into your empty wine glass because sangria season is over? Yeah, me too. Let’s all dry our eyes and make this autumn-y version, c/o Fresh Tart Steph, OK? OK.
♥ How cool is this contraption? It turns a basic jar into a beautiful, lace-y vase.

♥ I’m nursing a small crush on Danish fashion illustrator Christel Marott‘s work as of late. It’d be a happy miracle to find some of her paper dolls on a dusty thrift-store shelf.
♥ I rock a three-bun variation of this hairdo almost every week and net a lot of nice compliments and inquiries when I do. As the video illustrates, it’s ridiculously easy; perfect for second day dirty hair and hurried mornings.
♥ For all the other stationery nerds out there, a glorious color spectrum of paper! (c/o Design Crush)
♥ I’m determined to stretch my skillz as a baker and make a batch of these. If anything can get my over my fear of using yeast, it’s my love for pumpkin-flavored baked goods.
♥ Transform a dowdy thrift-store skirt in 30 minutes? Yes please!
♥ Holy cow, this shirt.
♥ The first installment of The Beauty Department’s Halloween hair how-tos is pretty awesome.
♥ I guess now that I’m officially a “cat person,” I need cereal bowls with kitties in them, right?
♥ Speaking of critters, how rad is this round-up of animal print pretties? I want them all…the orange camel dress especially.

♥ Ever wonder what’s inspiring to Emerson Fry (of EmersonMade fame)? Now you know.
♥ How ’bout this genius idea for funding a cross-country road trip? I’m adding that to my “why didn’t I think of that first?” file.
♥ My belief that California girls are cooler was reinforced by Erin’s pics from Outside Lands. Check out her shots from day one and days two and three. Such. Pretty. Girls.
♥ Currently top this weekend’s must-make list? White sangria popsicles.
I’m off to pack for a quick work overnight. Fingers crossed I have time to hit some thrifts on the way to and fro my meetings…
