{Summer Personified}

I love this picture taken by the Sartorialist. The composition and the pure organic feel of the moment is what definitely caught my eye. In addition to my favorite aspects of this picture {mentioned below} it really is a perfect captured moment in summer fashion, it's just beautiful...

{The World's Greatest Dad}

I posted this last Father's day - and couldn't help but to post it again - enjoy!!!

{My dad used to play beauty shop with me (before I had 3 other sisters to play with) and I got to put barrettes, bobby pins, balls, and even ribbon in his hair. Now come on - you have to agree that's some great dad! Note: he's now bald because of me and my sisters - sorry dad!}

{My absolute favorite game when I was a kid was Memory ~ and my Dad would play it with me over and over.....and over again - at my request of course.}

I could go on and on about how great my dad is from the piggy back rides to bed, to endless hours of Pac Man on our Atari 2600, to standing outside in the cold with my mom at 4:00 in the morning trying to get me a Cabbage Patch doll for Christmas, to attending every gymnastic meet - every cheerleading event - every Thursday night band practice and Friday night high school football game, to washing my clothes when I came home for the weekend from college, to all the way down to his famous fried chicken. Dad I love you to teeny tiny pieces and today I celebrate all that you are and all that you do. You're the bestest!!!

Check out some of the links, pins, and blogs I've been lovin' this week:

- If you love flea markets as much as me, check out this article for how to shop them!

- The much anticipated Glitter Guide website is up and full of lots of pretty things!

- Speaking of Glitter Guide - I love this post: 1 dress, 3 ways!

- The summer edition of Sweet Paul is now available - check out all the yummy goods!

- I heart GOOP, and I really like this post. I think I may try to adapt this style in a post or two.

- I think I want to order this print and get it matted and framed. It's huge but there's always room for ice cream!

Enjoy your weekend Peeps!

{Take every chance. Drop every fear. and...}

...just a little inspiration for you and {mostly} me. I'm feeling a little uninspired and unmotivated today {as a blogger, it's hard to be "on" all the time}. I simply need to try and remember to be completely true to who and what I am - and not compare myself to others because everyone has their own journey. Maybe I'll go get a Starbucks this morning... enjoy your day loves!
