{what i loved this week}

This week both flew by and felt like it took forever to get to Friday!  The What I Loved posts have been absent from the past two weeks because I have been insanely busy, but today it's back full of tons of good stuff for your internet viewing pleasure.

on pinterest:  This bold tablescape's color scheme would be amazing for a bright Thanksgiving table or a fabulous birthday dinner party!  I have never really loved the use of vellum in paper goods, but it is so chic used as a menu here- especially since you can see through to the amazing black/white striped plate.

on instagram:  Genius idea to re-purpose old office files to serve cakes and brownies at a party.  Love this cozy styled nook- especially the feminine floral pillow.  I think I need this print in my life- actually I know I do.

in real life: As you might have seen on Instagram, I was in NYC for a hot minute last week shooting some fun holiday videos with Glam Media. This photo was taken by my amazing make-up artist for the two day shoot, Roberto, of the amazing production team!

on the internets:  A Christmas Vacation drinking game- who wants to come over for a little viewing party?!?!

on the blogs:  A gorgeous gold DIY magnolia wreath for the holidays that I would probably leave up long after New Year's Eve.  These matte black painted vases are so chic and could turn any array of thirft store vases into a modern tablescape.

on my wishlist: Well it's freezing in Chicago so I guess I'll shop for a new summer kaftan- this beautiful Mara Hoffman one is one sale from $350 to $99!!!!  I would love to cluster 5 or 6 of these geo pendants over a dining table.  A fun holiday bracelet that reminds me of a glitzy bow-tie.  Last year I fell in love with the brand Three Floor when I bought this dress and I think this black lace one would be the perfect frock to add to my collection of one!
