On the other blog...

On the my other blog (Thift Style Me) I have my first guest blogger for my "Thifting Coast to Coast" project. It was something I intended to start this past fall, however things happen...speed bumps and what not. Either way, I've started it back up again and am super excited with the written tour of California given by Rhiannon! She did such a great job with it! I'm now getting insanely anxious for all the thrifting, yard sales, and flea markets I have coming up this year!

Free People Horoscopes. Week Of February 17–23. Gemini.

Hmm...

GEMINI

May 21–June 20

Much of your energy will go toward achieving goals and building up your professional standing after the sun crosses your ambition angle this week and proceeds to hover at the top of your chart for the following month. Your ruling planet Mercury is backtracking in your education sector and being tested by taskmaster Saturn in your competence house. Now’s the time to polish your skills; brush up on a subject you need to know inside and out if you’re going to succeed; rethink your methods; and put your nose to the grindstone to gain confidence in your ability. As the sun falls under the spell of murky Neptune at the end of the week, try to combine your push to accomplish something with your dreams of creative fulfillment or your yearning to pursue a higher calling. Aim for a middle ground between fired-up-to-conquer-the-world-right-this-second and if-it’s-meant-to-be-it’ll-happen-eventually.

Today.

Florals

I've been insanely over the snow and cold weather... So have been searching for ways to make each day brighter and happier. 

I put a little plant in my bathroom to see each morning while getting ready...

I've been dressing in bright colors and pretty patterns, rediscovering clothes I had packed away.

I've been playing with pretty colors and paints, something about it is like yoga to me. Gives me time to just be.

The other night when flipping through some recent Free People catalogs I came  across this amazing image! 

I was immediately inspired! Over the past week I've started a "Florals" board on Pinterest...here are some faves. 

It made me want to paint!!! So last night at our girls night craft night I did this. :)

Oh and this...to use up the paint on my palette. Enjoy!

Xoxo,
