I know this is a day late but like they always say, better late then never. I don't know who that proverbial "they" is but in this case I agree with them. I had so many things starred in my Google Reader I had a hard time narrowing these Friday Finds down. Here are the ones that made the cut, enjoy!!
1. Flower Headband
[source]Oh my goodness how beautiful is this headband?! I can't tell if the flowers are real or not... I don't think so though. Either way I really want to make one!2. Wall of Suitcases
[source]I looove this wall of suitcases so much. If I could afford to have a custom suitcase wall built in my room I would do it in a heartbeat.3. Owl Print
[source]This print is actually used on a lunch box, and I looove it! I would actually buy the lunch box if 1. I could find out if they shipped to the US and 2. If I didn't already buy the cutest elephant lunch box.4. Sherlock Holmes' Apartment
[source]
I know you guys already know how much I love Sherlock Holmes. Which is why I absolutely love this print of his apartment! How cute would this be framed on my wall?! The answer is super cute!!5. Cute Carousel
[source]
I loooove the carousel! It is my favorite ride at the fair... well maybe it is tied with the Ferris Wheel... I don't particularly love it for it's speed but more for it's beauty (and cuteness). I have seen this specific carousel on a couple of blogs and I absolutely loooooove it!! I am pretty sure it is in France, guess I just need to make a trip there now...
6. Birdhouse Wallpaper
[source]Yes, I am a sucker for cute wallpaper. When Is saw this birdhouse wallpaper I fell in love. I don't know what room I would actually want to put it in, but I do know I want it!!7. Cupcake Print
[source]I love cupcakes and cute prints. Making this adorable print one of my new favorites. Sara Olmos is an awesome graphic designer from Rome, and thankfully she sells her art on Etsy so all of us in the US can snag some of her adorable prints. 8. Bedroom Makeover
[source]This before and after is amazing! I love love love the butterflies, too cute! You haveee to click the source link and check out the before, what a big difference!9. New Penguin Classic Covers
[source]I am that person, the one who buys things almost solely on their design/how cool they look. I guess that explains my chosen profession (Graphic Design). And these covers are adorable!! I can't wait till they come out I want them all!10. Owl Purse
[source]Cutest owl purse ever!! Too bad you can only find it in Italy... I guess I just haveeeee to make that trip to Rome now. Actually, it wouldn't be such a bad idea for me to visit my Motherland...
I have Friday Finds for you!!! I really enjoyed doing this weeks and hope you love them too! I will really try to keep them up every week as much as possible. I am actually off to do some homework right now... enjoy!
1. Marie Antoinette Print
[source]Love this print! I may have a slight obsession with Marie Antoinette... Ever since I did that project on her in 5th grade, I have been in awe (I covered my board in stings of pearls oh, it was awesome). Not really into her politics... more of her style.
2. The Complete Sherlock Holmes
[source]I may have mentioned this before, but his is my absolute favorite book of all time. I received a version of this book for Christmas when I was around 13 and I read through it in one week, I could not put it down!! I absolutely love Doyle, and when I saw this beautiful edition at Barnes and Noble I was so excited (makes a great gift)!3. Duchess Ring
[source]You are seeing a theme through this post aren't you... completely unintentional! Seriously how cute is this ring?! I really love every single thing in Beatrice's shop, adorable!4. Marie Antoinette Background
[source]More with the unintentional theme... I was so excited when I found this picture! Not only is it gorgeous and from one of my favorite movies but, it is also big enough to make my desktop background... and that is where it is right now!5. Anthro Booties
[source]These adorable boots are everywhere! Whether you are in Urban or Target you will find versions of these little lace up booties. I am actually really glad they are in because I have been looking for a pair while thrifting foreverrrr but they are never in my size!6. Mrs. Press Clothing
[source]Love these cute pastel clothes from the Sydney designer Mrs. Press. Everything is made in limited quantities and sold at a small boutique. A lot if items include vintage touches, everything is really beautiful!7. Knit Headband
[source]How cute is this?! I have wanted a cute knit headband/head warmer... not quite sure what to call them... and this one is my favorite I have found so far, looks even better then the Anthro one I was looking at!8. Cute Wedding Guests
[source]I know weddings are all about the bride, but I really love when wedding guests dress well. I know you have seen those pictures of random wedding guests while flipping through photos that really make the wedding. They add to the beauty/charm of it and I think they should be commended, good job guys!9. Everything Style Blog
[source]I LOVE Shae and her awesome blog. She has the best vintage style ever, and is an aspiring photographer just like me! She of course has a lot more photographically under her belt then I do, but it is really nice to see someone else striving for the same thing I am.10. Charlie Chaplin Engagement Shoot
[source]This may be the cutest/most creative engagement shoot I have ever seen! They really nailed the Charlie Chaplin theme. Not only in costumes, but in a truly comedic feel which is perfect for this type of shoot. Absolutely lovely!!
Friday Finds two weeks in a row! What?! I know, I know, I am trying here!! This week has been extra busy with two projects due, one of them on Miracle Gro yeah... don't ask... I kind of hated it. I am going to start working on headbands again soon and will hopefully post more about that, maybe show some shots of the studio even though it is no where near done. Anyways, here is this weeks Friday Finds, Enjoy!!1.Cake Hat
[source]How stinkin adorable is this little hat?? I love, love, love Elsa's blog, which I somehow need to learn how to translate better, because I want to know everything she is saying! I do know she has some of the greatest pictures, and what looks like a pretty fab/adorable life... I don't need words to figure that out.2. Vintage Dresser DIY
[source]This shade of teal is probable one of my favorites. It just screams shabby chic/vintage. I kind of hate that term "shabby chic." I don't know why, I just don't like how it sounds. But for right now that is the only way I have of describing this adorable dresser.3. Bow Belt
[source]Love this belt! It is no secret I am a sucker for cute, adorable, pastel items. Whether it is for my wardrobe or home I just LOVE the little delicate touches. I especially love the pairing with the little white dress in the picture, too cute!! 4. Unicorn Necklace
[source]Yes, I love unicorns... Don't scoff! They are super cute and you know it!! Sometimes I think little whimsical touches are fun with certain outfits. And honestly, if I can't wear unicorn necklaces in my 30's, then why not get it out of my system now... 5. Vintage Wedding
[source]This has to be the cutest little bride I have ever seen! From her adorable cat eye glasses down to her amazing dress and pink cardigan, she is a great example for brides everywhere. She stayed true to herself and her style therefore, she looked effortlessly gorgeous on her big day. 6. Vintage Clothing in Vogue
[source]I love that the entire world is beginning to embrace vintage clothing and silhouettes. I guess Mad Men may have a big part in this new fashion phase. Wherever the inspiration came from, I am just super excited that it is starting to show up in more and more stores.7. DIY Contest
[source]Are you a DIY queen??? Then you need to enter this contest!! I love when great creativity is rewarded. What a fun way to win a couple of extra bucks. Can't wait to see the winner!8. Pretty Print
[source]Remember the Meadowlark Etsy shop I featured not too long ago? Well, Becky has created a cute new portrait for the shop. This new little girl may be one of my favorites! Adorable!!9. Vintage Oxfords
[source]I LOVE these shoes. Tiny Toad Stool has a really adorable blog where she shares her outfits from day to day. Sometimes she even decides to sell some of her great finds. These shoes are just one of the articles of clothing for sale in her shop. If only my feet were smaller!
10. Floral Steps
[source]Umm adorable floral steps?? Yes please! I plan on finding a cute little old house with amazing stairs just like this that I can wallpaper. P.S. This cute house will also be white with black shutters and have little window boxes with tons of greenery in them. Yes, that is what my dream house looks like...
Look! It's Friday Finds!! Sorry they have been missing the last couple of weeks. Schools been well, school. I thankfully have a photography class which makes it a little more bearable. Who doesn't like take photos for 5 hours? Yes... it is a 5 hour class... I have tons of projects I am already working on. One of them being a self portrait made of type, yeah not so easy... If you follow me on twitter you have already seen a peek of that. When I am all done I will put it on here. Until then here are some Friday Finds, enjoy...
1. Pastel Bridesmaids
[source]Cute bridesmaid dresses alert! I have mentioned before how much I appreciate when brides pick out unique and even vintage bridesmaid dresses, and I especially appreciate when they are pastel! I am obsessed with pastels! And blush pink!! OH I just love it!2. Tea Cup Collection
[source]How adorable is this?? I am almost inspired to start my own tea cup collection. Like I need another thing to collect (owls and model ships have already taken over my room I don't even know where I would fit tea cups). Oh well, for something this cute I could make room!3. Couple Illustration
[source]Love! Love this! Not only is this a beautiful illustration, but how cute is this couple?? I am about to go braid my hair and stick a giant pink flower in it. Sooo cute!4. Ruffle Socks
[source]I think sometimes the little details make the outfit. These socks would be an example of just that. How could these adorable socks not be in my wardrobe? 5. Mustache Necklace
[source] Love this necklace! I especially love that she combined two things I love, mustaches and embroidery. Beatrice has some adorable stuff in her shop, as well as a great blog where she has some really cute outfit posts. 6. Adorable Dishes
[source]I love a well designed dish. I have a hard time resisting grabbing every pretty dish I see when I am thrifting. So of course when I saw this I fell in love. These really are some adorable dishes, click source to check the rest of them out!7. Spool Decoration
[source]I really love when stores take the time to design and decorate well. Anthropologie does a GREAT job of this. This is not an Anthropologie store, but doesn't it look like something they would do?? Adorable!!8. Camera Lens Mug
[source]Seriously loooooove this! I say that about everything don't I... Being somewhat of a photographer I really appreciate the novelty of this mug. It looks exactly like a camera lens, but you can sip coffee out of it! I am pretty sure I need one...9. Notebook Engagement Shoot
[source]When I first saw this shoot I actually thought it was Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. But, no it is indeed a couple being shot for their engagement photos. I really applaud the photographer and whoever else made this shoot happen it really looks great!10. Kling Clothing Line
[source]I know I have included Kling photo shoots in Friday Finds before, but they are just so darn beautiful i had to add another! Seriously cute clothes, seriously cute photos.
Hey guys!! I really do enjoy doing these Friday Finds! This week is chalk full of pastels as usual (I did however lay off the florals, thought you could use a break). I haven't been up to anything interesting lately... sorry!! It has been sooooo hot here I really can not wait till Fall/Winter!! I would always rather be cold then hot. I do want to def. try some outfit posts, my photographer (little sister) is out of town right now, but when she gets back I will hopefully have some up! My best friend is coming in town next week so I will probably not have as much time to post but I am sure I will have tons of our adventures to share after she leaves. Anyways, here we go, Friday Finds #9...1. Wonderful Wedding Dress
[source]LOVE this dress!! I always enjoy when brides choose dresses that are not the typical David's Bridal organza gowns. Especially when they are vintage or made by an obscure, unknown, super creative designer. I will probably choose a vintage gown for my wedding. I just really do not like what is out there right now, and if I do they are a gazillion dollars. 2. Vintage Met Dress
[source]First let me tell you how much I love the Met... ALOT!! If a young man ever wanted to win my heart he would take me on a date to the Met. Cheesy!! I know!! But I just love being surrounded by all of the gorgeous paintings and works of art. My very first trip I stood in front of a Renoir and went "Oh my goodness, his brush was right there!!!" needless to say my friends did not share my excitement. If this amazing vintage dress exhibit was up then, I don't think my friends would have ever been able to drag me out of there...3. Cigar Box Pinhole Camera
[source]I love pinhole cameras!! I made my very first one out of a shoe box and then developed my film in a real dark room! It was so exciting and so much fun! I learned so much in that art class and decided then, that I would one day be a photographer. This is why I fell in love with these little pinhole creations. What a creative way to make a pinhole camera! Love it!! 4. Beautiful Bridesmaids
[source]Back to my comment about wedding dresses... I also appreciate creative bridesmaid dresses, and how stinkin adorable are these?! I believe there is a "cute bridesmaid dress void" that someone needs to fill. Yes, there are some very pretty ones out there, but the price tags are RIDICULOUS. I also don't know how I feel about the macthing/mis-matching debate. I will probably assign a color to my future bridesmaids and let them pick out their own vintage dress in that shade...5. Paper Sculpture
[source]How amazing is this creation?! I love when people make paper creations! I have seen quite a few in the pages of one of my recent Anthropologie catalogs that I am so in love with!! They are just so amazing! One of these days I would like to try making one myself... P.S. Thank you Karman for showing me the amazing blog I found this on!!6. Wonderland Engagement Shoot
[source]Wildflowers Photography has got to be one of my favorites!! Joy is amazing! Not only does she take terrific photo's, but she is so creative. All of her shoots have amazing personal touches that make them different then the typical shoot. This "wonderland shoot" based on the Alice in Wonderland story is sooo cute! 7. Bangs
[source]I want bangs so bad!! My little sister has super straight perfect shiny hair and I got the frizzy curly Shirley Temple hair. Life is just not fair! Whenever the Fall/Winter months come around I always try to convince my sister to get bangs so I can pretty much vicariously live through her. Ridiculous! I know! Maybe I will just go crazy and get them one of these days. I guess I would just have to rely on the straightener a lot... Don't know if I like that...8. Dreamy Dresses
[source]I know you have probably seen these pictures everywhere. They are so pretty I just had to be the 100th person to post them. I actually follow the girls blog that took these and she is amazing. I always look forward to her posts. They are usually full of pastels and gorgeous photos. The beautiful clothing in the photo are from her stylist friends show room. Just gorgeous!!9. Madhatter Necklace
[source]Oh my goodness I love this necklace! How creative and cute! I love how it is so delicate and adorable. I could see myself wearing this with a cute little dress and going on a picnic in the park. I am pretty much a sucker for anything Alice in Wonderland themed. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!10. Multi Level Flower Box
[source]I am by no means a planter or cultivator. I believe I once tried to grow a potato out of a styrofoam cup in third grade but that def. did not turn out well. I am really not sure if a non successful potato plant should discourage me from planting now, but sadly it has. Anyways, if I was to take up planting I would def. want to try out this amazing level planter.
