LIFE LATELY: LISTY LISTS

I love lists. I love numbered lists. I'm so Type A it hurts sometimes.

Thus, I give you the new listy-list version of Life Lately posts:

1. PERSONAL LIFE:

1. The Packers lost for the second week in a row. If you need Michael or me, we're crying into our PBRs.

2. I helped my sister with my niece's 6th birthday party this weekend, which meant 13 six year old running around yelling and popping balloons. #nothavingkidsforawhile 

3.  Michael passed a big exam for work recently and we celebrated by drinking good beer and watching 2 Harry Potter movies. Yes we're old. No, IDGAF if you think that's lame.

2. GREAT LINKS:

1. This must follow Instagram account (Rich Dogs of Instagram)

2.  Always my favorite:  Jimmy Kimmel having parents tell their kids they ate all the Halloween candy

3. The latest Matt Bellassai Video: The Worst Types of People on Airplanes

- Food Flags!

3. FAVORITE POSTS:

These were my favorite 4 posts in the blog-world in the last couple weeks:

1. The BEST Friendsgiving background from A Beautiful Mess (Image by Collin DuPree)

2. Way cool homemade Cosmic Brownie Poptarts by Studio DIY (Image by Jeff Mindell)

3. A gorgeous November computer background by Oana Befort

4. The rainbow Christmas tree of my dreams by Lines Across

4. SUPER IMPORTANT HOLIDAYS!

You know what, I'm all for those fake-National holidays. Yup. National Candy Day? SOLD.

5. SALES!

The sale you MUST shop right now is on Back Country-  30% off select Marmot & Patagonia outerwear for Men's & Women's (which is about the best deal you can get for non-clearance colors). Included in the sale is my faaavorite Women's Down Sweater Jacket (which I own in orange) along with about 10 other things I want. If anyone feels like buying me some Patagonia outerwear, just let me know. (shop the sale here)

What's good with you, folks?

Seriously, feel free to buy me a new jacket.

LINKS TO LOVE v. VI

Ooooh Friday, I just want to give you a big hug. 

Here's what's been looking lovely around the interwebs lately:

1. This wood shelf DIY is so simple, but so chic. Now I just have to figure out how to sweet talk Michael into building me a few...

2. I am a full blown stationary hoarder- and these floral monogram cards are fabulous! Well done Feathered Arrow Press!

3. I love the black & white leaf/floral/nature prints out there- such a sophisticated way to transform a girly print. This shirt is amazing!

4. Did I share this cake already? I feel like I did. Whatever- it's good enough to be shared over and over and over again. Gah DesignLovefest, you KILL ME!

5. Now that I've found ban.do on Fab, it's like going down a rabbit hole - this gold pin! Ah!

6. Have you guys watched The Mind of a Chef? It's on Netflix, and it is seriously addicting. They're really short episodes, and David Chang explores food around the world. Plus, it's narrated by Anthony Bourdain, so you KNOW it's quality.

Whatcha got going on this weekend, friends?

Anyone else watching the Badger game tomorrow?

LINKS TO LOVE v. V

Oooooh this week is a GOOD one, folks. Each and every one of these links is completely worth clicking, I promise! Especially #2. Eep!

1. These fingerprint portraits are unreal. Seriously. The creativity that people have. Unreal.

2. If you haven't seen this baby conducting the choir, you will freak out- cuteness overload!

3. Want a zoomed-out look at some of the world's greatest landmarks? The Mona Lisa is so cool!

4. This J.Crew knock off is just that much more fun- aaaand like 1/8 of the price of the original.

5. YouTube has too many talented signers - like this guy who does this Avicii cover like no one else I've ever seen. 

6. Wow, I'm super video-heavy this week - but again, more happy music by talented kids!

Which of these extra happy links-to-love is your favorite?

That little girl directing the choir. Can't. Handle. It.

LINKS TO LOVE vol. IV

Here's the weekly roundup of fantastic internet finds!

1. I am OBSESSED with this DIY painting. I will hands down be trying it soon. I've done potato stamped canvases before- but the dark background of this is just fab. 

2. Long Distance Loving's round up of the Pantone colors of spring 2014 in clothing was beyond lovely to look at!

3. I'll be talking more about these cards next week- but you GUYS! Snail mail is back, and when it's served snarky? Even better. Love that you can mix & match these witty cards in packs of 2-8!

4. Spring is here- can I get an AMEN!? Time to get some new flats in the mix- and these floral beauties from Gap are a must have! 

5. I talk about how my sister is amazing all the time- she owns her own photography company, online boutique, and now she is making and selling ceramics. WHAT CAN'T SHE DO? Love this abstract-y pinch bowl!

6. I grew up not liking my birthstone because I've never been a purple person- but this DIY from Design Love Fest makes me rethink my view on amethyst!

What have you found that's lovely around the internet this week?

Happy Friday, lovelies!

LINKS TO LOVE vol. III

Here's the weekly round-up, dudes!

1. I need this print from the First Snow in my life NOW!

2. It's blasphemous I'm saying this- but I love this tote! All-season perfection with awesome handles.

3. This is on the must-make this for the weekend (from Jessiker Bakes).

4. Looking for a good cry? Read this article.

5. These paintings by Luli Sanchez are UNREAL. unreal.

6. Ugh. This wrap up of Anne Ziegler's house on ABM makes me want to duplicate all of it now- so light & bright & airy! Unreal!

LINKS TO LOVE VOL II

It was hard to pick just 6 this week- there's too many good things floating out on the interwebs!

1: Um, Abe Lincoln taking a selfie? Come on- a print for history nerds & social media bugs alike.

2: Lupita, Lupita. You are the only actress who looks good in EVERY. Single. Color. Just lose the headbands and you're golden in my book.

3. If you're going to day-drink, might as well look classy as hell doin' it. Love these booze teacups!

4. Need a new spring bag? I'd vote for these ASOS scallop bags...in every color.

5. After the 6 inches of snow we got this week, all I do is dream of summery drinks on patios. 

6. This outfit is everything. That is all.

Any good things you've found lately?
