Friday Flavor: Strawberries

strawberries
Summer is almost over.  I don't know if I should be happy or sad about that.  The closer I get to winter means the closer I get to my first looong winter in Minnesota.  So, I decided to do strawberries for this Friday Flavor.  They are a staple for every summer and they are one of my favorite colors.  How could you not like the deep reds they produce?  Everything is better in red.


wax stamp
I don't know why, but I have always wanted one of these wax stamps.  I know I would love getting a letter with a wax seal on it.

reto wallpaper
That wallpaper is amazing.  I love the retro vines!  For some reason they remind me of Mario Bros.

car interior
I want an old school car so badly.  And this red interior would be perfect.

vanity
I love seeing people fix up old furniture.  I need to do it, too.  This vanity is so pretty!

umbrella
I just really liked this picture.

lips

red pinup heels
I want to own these.  I also want to know how to walk in them.

red scooter
I have really been wanting a scooter lately.  I think I might be too chicken to get a motorcycle and I'm a little scared about riding an actual bike in the city.  I think these are a perfect medium.

red leaves in the fall
Sigh.  This reminds me of fall.  I love the fall, but I'm sad I'll be having my last one in NC this year.

emma stone vanity fair
Emma Stone looks AMAZING on this Vanity Fair cover.  When I first saw it I didn't even recognize her as a blond!

red riding hood stuffed animal
I don't know how to make these, but this Little Red Riding Hood is adorable.

rockabilly girl on old school bike
I love everything about what this girl is wearing.  Outfit, make-up, hair and bike.

red 1959 cadillac deville fins
My absolute dream car.  1959 Cadillac Deville.  So classic.

red blythe doll
I don't know anything about Blythe dolls, but I have become curious about them since I see them on so many blogs I read.  I really liked this one.  She's cute!

tableware set artwork
This is one of my new favorite color combinations.  And the artwork itself is a really good idea.

60s girl listening to records
I want to be this woman.  She looks sexy as hell just sitting looking at records.

Well, that's it for this week!  Hope everyone's weekend goes well, and if you're on the East Coast, again, STAY SAFE!  Hopefully, I'll have power to post this weekend!  Although, I could be in the hospital having this baby, finally!

Friday Flavor: Blueberries


I'm so happy to get back on track to blogging.  Even, though I've written almost everyday this week, it feels like I have missed a couple of days.  Kind of strange.  Today's Friday Flavor is Blueberries!  I never had raw blueberries until I met my husband.  I know...  I don't know how that happened.  I never had avocados either!  But, blueberries are my favorite now.  Especially mixed with oatmeal and honey in the morning.  Good breakfast.
50s style blue dress
This dress is ao adorable.  I love the 3/4 length sleeves.

kid office in blue
This color I am now contemplating for my future woman cave.

tshirt dress in blue
This dress reminds me of a sailor dress.  Its adorable!

ikea kid room
I LOVE this Ikea furniture for kids.  I want to paint my daughter's room like Hello Kitty's and buy this furniture in pink!

pretty eyeshadow in blue
This doesn't even look like a real person.  The make-up is awesome!  Don't know where I would wear it out to, though.  And her hair is really pretty.

polka dotted blue dress
Polka dot dresses are always cute.

pbr fat man
This is what I'll be doing after I have my daughter and have my 6 week postpartum appointment.  Hopefully, I'll look a little better than this.  I must seem like an alcoholic to some of you.  Its been 8 months!  I miss my PBR!

Friday Flavor: Pluot

pluot

My inspiration this week comes from pluots.  Have you ever heard of these?  They are a mix of a plum and apricot, but there are so many different kinds.  My husband and I went to our grocery store yesterday and they had so many different flavors.  I really recommend if you can find them, to try a flavorosa pluot.  They are incredible delicious.  It tastes like grape candy.  They also have a really pretty color.  They are a deep purple just like plums, but they are also purple on the inside.

This sunset is so gorgeous!  I wish I could see something like this!

I really want to try a color like this in my hair.  Cotton candy hair is so cute.

Purple eyeshadow is my favorite.  I used to hate the glitter because it reminded me of the early 2000's, but this is too pretty to say no.

I love this picture.  I really wish I knew the photographer, so I could look at more of their work!

I love houses like this!  So much personality!

This fabric is called "Queen of Hearts in Plum."  Such a perfect name.

I really love these dresses.  They remind me of cigarette girl dresses.  Only thing missing is the little hat.

I know I have said this before, but I really want a bike!  I need one when I move to Minneapolis.  Not sure where I would put the kiddies, though.  I might have to buy those pull along tent things that connect to the back.

I love this woman.  Not only for incredible voice, but her attitude about how she looks.  "My life is full of drama, and I won’t have time to worry about something as petty as what I look like. I don’t like going to the gym."  At least she's not afraid to say it!

What are you getting inspiration from this week?

Friday Flavor: Tangerine



I am really excited about these pictures I found.  Orange is such a pretty and bright color.  But, it either works or it doesn't in situations.  And all these pictures definitely work.


I have been seeing a couple of blogs talking traveling around and selling their vintage goods in one of these things.  That is such an amazing idea!  Sometimes I really wish i didn't have kids so early, so I could have done all that type of stuff.  Oh, well, I'll just have to get this one and do it in my 40s.  


I think if I had a teapot I would drink more tea.  Especially if it was this one.  I also wouldn't mind having the fabric.


I love this necklace.  The color combo is amazing.  See how I used it in the title?


I might be a loser for liking shoes that look like Keds, but I can't help it.  They look really cute with no socks on and shorts.


Wish I had thousands of dollars to completely redecorate my house.  I would buy lamps for every room like this.


This picture is so pretty.  The details are so awesome.  Especially the freckles.  I would love orange hair and green eyes!  The artist did such an amazing job of the light reflections on the lips, skin, and hair.


Not sure if I could pull off this orange hair, but this girl did.


More orange housewares!  I can't get enough!


I really love this work space.  Its so minimalist, but it works beautifully.


Orange lipstick is a HUGE example of where it works, or doesn't.  This outfit and styling goes so well with this lipstick.  I would wear it if I could have this outfit and sunglasses.


I had to add this because this kitten was adorable.  Even with its lazy eye.

What's inspiring you this week?

It still amazes me that I used to hate yellow.  It is so pretty!  And it makes everything bright and cheery which I could really use sometimes.  I am in love with the vintage inspired kitchen.  Its so warm!  And the bee necklace.  So adorable!
