Yay Friday! I caught a little bug this week and spent most of my free hours in bed. I'm happy to be rid of the week and celebrating the fourth of July in style. Hopefully we'll spend the day by the pool, light a few sparklers and bask in a little R&R. Do you have luxurious holiday plans?

Aside from festive hangs, I've been voraciously catching up on my usual haunts this week and have assembled quite the reading list. Click away for a few things I loved this week:

Weekly Favorites no. 26

a modern organic bedroom makeover by Sarah Sherman Samuel
Kelly Harris' pregnancy style on Mother Mag
spend a Sunday with my girl Stephanie White (of Odylyne The Ceremony)
a GORGEOUS (and realistic) kitchen makeover by Chris Loves Julia
french love in Marrakech
& 30 things I learned before turning 30

p.s. I have started putting together my Morocco travel guide but it's a beast of a post. Stay tuned for that soon!

Whew! Now THAT was a weekend. We played host to a handful of energetic five year olds for Lorelai's birthday and I'm wiped out. A slow Sunday filled with cyber window-shopping was just what I needed to recoup after a major sugar crash. With words like pre-fall swirling around in the ether and the heat index at a record high, I'm OVER summer. I'm at a weird crossroads where bikinis and cozy pieces are equally appealing. I want to take a dip in the pool and hibernate at home all at the same time.

Are you firmly planted in summer or ready to move on?

I love the weekend! This weekend is especially exciting because Lo is turning 5 and we're celebrating with her first-ever slumber party. That means mini sized face masks, hours of pinata breaking and very little sleep for this mama. Usually we spend our weekends chilling out and stocking up on inspiration but it's going to be a blast to spend Saturday & Sunday partying with our favorite little girl.

While we gear up for the five-year-old social event of the season, catch up on a few things I've loved stumbling upon lately and go back over blog posts you might have missed:
