Maxton is getting to that age where he is just becoming so much fun! Remember how big he was when I first started this blog?? It’s amazing how much he’s grown and I’m amazed at him everyday. Last week, he crawled into my chair at the office and pretends to work like his Momma & at home we’ve been teaching him to feed our pup, Lila. Hey, it’s good to teach responsibility young. And, it makes him feel pretty big time.

Can you believe how much he’s grown??

• I am dy-ing over this shoe from Shakuhachi at Need Supply Co!

• I can’t get enough of this Maxiskirt at Madewell.

• Having a major love affair with this poncho.

• I’m in complete awe over this innovative glassware collection by Felicia Ferrone that I discovered on my favorite new site, Fab.com.

• Hey Dallas! You’re invited! PULP is designing a vignette for the party & it’s all for a good cause.

Have a super fab weekend! Hope you get to relax & let loose. 

I am so hopping on this fall trend! I love the earthy, yet bold & graphic, feel of the Native American styles showing up this season. I am dying for that luggage bag and, ooooh, the wallpaper. I’ve got to source that.

What do you think of this fall trend?

I just love the photo of this sweet couple being active together. I’ve been itching to get back into yoga and am dying to do yoga side-by-side with my husband… Honey, that means you. Let’s make it happen. I’d even love to see Maxton do Yoga Little.

The color green can seriously pack a punch! Especially when contrasting against greys, camels, and patterns. I’m determined to take on the color Emerald Green this fall in my wardrobe and in my interiors. Isn’t it fantastic.

Do you rock the emerald green in your space or wardrobe?

Happy Friday, friends!! Per usual these days, it’s been a crazy busy week…

But, here’s a few links I’m loving this week! 

• Isn’t this photo fantastic?? It’s got me feeling a little fancy!

• An Open Faced Italian Fig Sandwich? This is so up my alley & perfect for a fall picnic. I need to make that happen.

• I adore these mini notecards.

• Have you heard of Fab.com?? It’s like Gilt Groupe for hipsters! Great prices & cool finds. I LOVE IT!

• Two words: I. DIE. (Or, live forever. Whichever.) I really can’t wait for the new Twilight movie!

 What are your plans this weekend??

A couple of weeks ago, Carolina and I cleaned out my closet. I needed to get organized, purge, and get rid of things that I haven’t worn in a long time. My tastes have changed (and, ahem, my size has changed). I ended up purging 6 large bags of clothes & shoes that hopefully will go to a better cause than eating up space in my house for no good reason.

Of course, a trip to the Lakewood Goodwill donation drop had to end in a rare trip to the Lakewood IHOP for a funny face pancake for Max, in which he ate with his shades on.

So, when is the last time you cleaned out your closet?? Any closet tips you want to share?

TIP: A great hint I saw on the Nate Berkus Show the other day… Put all your clothes in your closet with the hangers facing backwards. When you take it out to wear it, put the hanger back in the right way. Any hangers that are still turned backwards after 6 months should be donated. They said 6 months, but I’m gonna say 9 months! Our Texas seasons are a totally random, so some seasonal items just won’t get worn because of the weather.

I love the color fuchsia. If I had to pick a favorite color, this might be it. I love it for fall and combining it with other jewel tones. It’s totally bringing me inspiration right now in fashion and interiors. In fact, hop over to the PULP Design Studios blog to see an entire fuchsia post dedicated to hot pink interiors!

What do you think of the color fuchsia?? It’s not for everyone.

I just loved this poster on etsy by blimpcat. After all, it’s what I do!
