desert rose.

oh yes.

hi there.

i'm still here. and i can't even imagine why you'd still be stopping by... i've been such a bad, bad blogger. but i think this year and i have finally come to terms. i've been feeling so unsettled and a little restless, honestly sitting there waiting for the next shitty thing to come my way because that's how we started out! and it definitely took some time for the 2 of us to reconcile but we made it! and i think we're here on the other side!!!

i can't guarantee that i'll be back every single day, because to be honest, coming up with something earth-shatteringly awesome for you everyday was getting tougher and tougher.

perhaps that means when i am back, it's better stuff!? one can only hope :)

and this isn't even mine, but i saw it on 100layercakelet

and i thought it was so pretty.

it doesn't even have to be for a little girl.

i'd take this and make it mine!!

the only thing i might add to it is a small dose of saturated color and a few more patterns. i am still me, after all. and maybe some more pink!

and where better to find such things?

amber interior's shoppe!

this is what i'd add.

1 and 2.

and you can find all the sources from up above right here.

happy friday!!

and i'll be back in a bit with the regularly scheduled flowers.

2 posts in one day!?

i know i know, what can i say?

i'm ready

 i'm with elle.

i made this roasted sweet potato and cauliflower pasta dish with bacon this weekend and it was official.

(recipe from martha here)

i'm ready for fall.

and pumpkins.

but i think i'm also ready to pull my boots out.

two things that also get me really excited about fall right now:

feathers. (and that mani.)

and fur.

vintage fur, of course.

do you watch the rachel zoe project?

i just started. i know, i'm years behind but (even though this photo shows nothing of it...)

i am OBSESSSSSED with her vintage furs she's been wearing the past few episodes. every shot there's a different coat/cut/color. its major (har har).

her new and vintage clothing/furs/accessories

make me very very envious, and i think that's what keeps me dvr'ing.

JILL
