    I’m normally more into scented candles than decorative ones but these things are seriously awesome!

    I bought this dress this week. I am so excited to wear it! Gonna pair it with my jean jacket + Tevas!

    This pin is precious.

    This dog planter is just absurdly cute.

    Two of my favorite things – eyes + rainbows!

    I have broken two pairs of sunglasses in the last week. I can’t decide if that’s a really good reason to buy these or a good reason not to buy them. Aren’t they so snazzy!?

    These handmade lip balms come in so many amazing sounding flavors. Coffee! Root Beer!? Chai? Sign me up!

    I literally never ever put food in bowls like this but gosh, these bowls with tiny houses! Too cute!

    I went looking for a polka dot summer dress and ending up finding this wrap dress. Not exactly what I had in mind but better. It’s also available in other colors and patterns.

    This beach towel!!

    Very into these shirts by Residential Ghost.

    Link love…

    • This peacock doorknocker!! Seriously, why would you ever have something boring and plain when things like this exist?!
    • A polka dot T-shirt with a crocodile in the pocket!
    • I can’t decide if I think these corgi butt bloomers are the best or the worst.
    • This vintage cat painting is so so so good!
    • I’ve linked to this bra a couple of times before but gosh, I still love it so much. Paired with some joggers it’s the sexiest cozy outfit ever.
    • This jumpsuit looks so comfy and breezy. Perfect for summer!

    Happy Friday! xoxo

    by Kaylah Stroup May 13, 2020

    this post contains affiliate links. Last week I did my very first multiple-day timelapse. I spotted a new leaf getting ready to emerge from my Rhaphidophora tetrasperma aka ‘mini monstera’ and figured it was a good time to try and flex my camera skills. Y’all! I am SO excited about how it turned out. Watch …

    by Kaylah Stroup May 2, 2020

    ▴ Wire shelf for my memo board. Guys! Why, oh why, did I wait so long to buy any accessories for my grid memo board!? I realized the other day that I had zero plants in my office. The issue is that I don’t really have the space to put any since I need all …
