Aww summer is finally here, and I could not be happier about it! This is the first summer that I have not taken summer classes, and I have found that this has left me with a lot more free time- it is absolutely amazing! With more freedom to decide what to do with my afternoons, I have found that I want to spend all my time outside. This obsession with being outdoors coupled with my parents updating their outdoor space- huge improvement by the way!- I keep finding myself pinning amazing outdoor spaces. From the elegant, crisp black and white spaces to the simple, southern woody porches I just love how outdoor places are based on creating comfort and beauty to enjoy nature, family, and friends.

One of my biggest goals for the summer- well as soon as possible really!- is to create an awesome and ongoing inspiration board. At my office, there is inspiration in every room and on almost every wall, and I absolutely love it! I love being surrounded by inspiring and creative materials; I honestly believe that by surrounding myself with creative things, no matter the shape or form, makes me more creative. So, I want to bring this creative energy home with me rather than leave it five o'clock, and I have begun to collect some amazing inspiration to fuel the creation of my very own inspiration board. 1. PS! Just a reminder that if you click on the images in my posts (minus the collaged ones), it will take you to their original source- I don't want to take credit for anyone else's amazing work!
I am currently so obsessed with Inslee Haynes, who does fashion illustrations as well as commission illustrations for brides and other occasions. Her illustrations are insanely amazing! I seriously want to buy them all and make an entire gallery wall out of them! You can buy her prints from her website and also check out Inslee's blog for your daily dose of her amazing art!
I have always loved candle light. I cannot even tell you how many family dinners that my mom insisted we have...by candle light...This past year, though, I have fallen in love with candles all over again! One of my roommates can only study if she has one lit and slowly I am starting to feel the same way. Candle light makes everything more serene and relaxing- I am just so obsessed.
I am completely addicted to coffee there is no question about it. I not only love the taste of coffee but also the whole experience of drinking coffee- how warm and delicious it is and of course the mug that I drink it out of. I love surrounding myself with beautiful things, no matter how big or small. When I surround myself with beautiful things it makes me appreciate all the little things that can make life special. This appreciation has led me to become obsessed with coffee mugs from the big to the small to the colorful. My morning coffee is about starting the day right and creating a great mood as soon as I wake up- which some days can be more challenging than others! So here are some of my favorite mugs...
