friday quote

"Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow."

friday quote

I heard something like this in yoga the other day and I absolutely loved it:



Have a great weekend and enjoy the sunshine!

home office yet again

I think at this point everyone that reads this little blog knows about my clear obsession with the home office.  Well it just so happens that this week houzz.com spotlights some great home offices that I just had to share.  and if you are unfamiliar with houzz.com you should definitely check it out as it is worth your time!

I think my favorite part of this home office is the pop of color that the large leaf provides, it makes the room.

I love everything about this room from the lighting to the rug
(hopefully it's a faux hide)

Obviously I love the rug and art collage, probably could use a larger
desk for all that stuff though

A great way to make a small room work for two work spaces

I love the Scandinavian inspiration in this room

Skype Offices in Sweden





friday quote

Maybe one day I will learn this.

Have a great weekend!  I am off to the mountains, see you next week.

starbucks

This is a new Starbucks in Amsterdam.  I love the creative wood block ceiling.  It's also interesting to see what a large amount of communal seating it has and how big it is!   I feel like every Starbucks I walk into is cramped and you have to fight for a place to sit.  Very inspirational!

men's fasion

Yesterday I posted on some women's fashion that I am loving right now but what about the men?  Here are a few great looks that I would love to see more men rock here in Denver...

Houndstooth jacket, white collard shirt, a pair of cords...a great outfit for work
 without wearing the standard dress pants and button down.



Love the layers mixing pattern and texture.



For a more casual look a t-shirt and jeans is
always good and you can never go wrong
 with black

And last but not least...

This man can wear a suit, enough said.

fashion

It's been a while since I have blogged about anything fashion related!  I was browsing Pinterest on a lazy Sunday afternoon and came across some lovelies I thought I should share.

I am loving this color combination it feels fresh and new for spring.



I have been into this equestrian trend lately and this jacket fits the bill. 



Over sized Clutch?  Yes please!



This dress with the clutch above would be adorable.

And last but not least...

A belted pleated dress with a statement necklace, done and done.

home office

I am still thinking about what I want to do to my home office and I keep coming across inspirational images.  Which is your favorite?



These first two pictures are probably my favorite.  I love the vintage looking desk and all of the storage cubbies but, the main question is...do I put the desk in the center of the room or...





Against the wall?  How cozy does this chair look?  Might as well be as comfortable as possible while working.



I don't love the rug or sofa put I thought this was a great way to capitalize on the space of a small room.





This is a very eclectic room and although I would change the wall vinyl I love that it feels like a very creative space.



loft idea

This is such a great idea for a big loft space, why not use the unused ceiling space for a library!

holiday attire

The nice thing about J.Crew is that they are always about layering basics which most of us already have in our closet with new color combinations we haven't thought of.  I always go here if I need a little spark to my current wardrobe.  Here are a few of my favorites from for all your holiday needs...

I'm really loving the red orange lips pictured in a lot of these shots!

I typically don't gravitate to a lot of holiday decorations, but I have to say these Thanksgiving set-ups were really nice and might provide some inspiration if you happen to be hosting this years Thanksgiving at your house, enjoy...

If I had to chose one style icon it would be Audrey Hepburn.  So stylish and glamorous yet incredibly simple, her style is still modern to this day, here's some eye candy to enjoy...
