Love the length of these overalls! Wouldn’t they be adorable paired with the black and white striped bodysuit at the beginning of this post!?

(via Amazon)

How cute are these cactus vases?! They’re pretty affordable too. Under $20 for the set of four.

(via World Market)

I thought this sports bra and leggings set was cute to begin with but then I saw that they’re reflective! How rad is that?! I’d love a pair of the leggings to wear on my bike for night rides!

(via Core 10)

Cute cactus shirt!

(via Anthropologie)

These shoes, y’all! I actually own them in another color. (The black and white striped pair, if that’s any surprise!) They’re easily the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. It’s like walking on clouds.

The print on this dress! So pretty!

(via Modcloth)

Lovin’ this bag!

(via Baggu)

These earrings!

  • This black and white dress is perfect. Gosh, Target is just killing it lately!
  • Way into these bee earrings.
  • Love this bra! Mae, one of Amazon’s brands, also makes this bra which I think I may have linked to before. It’s so pretty.
  • Young Kaylah can’t believe how much old Kaylah likes ruffles. But just look at this dang dress!

Happy Friday!

Yeeeeah, these have to be the cutest paper clips ever.

(via Amazon)

If you were to ask me I’d probably deny being a fan of tshirts with silly sayings but these two shirts have me thinking otherwise.

(via Modcloth)

The print on these is too good!

(via bando)

Digging these planters big time! Only $30 for the set!

(via Amazon)

Such a cute summer dress. You have to check out the back of it.

What a wonderful way to display polaroid photos! Of course I’m thinking about how perfect my wedding photos would be in it.

This neon light is fabulous! I own a cactus one by the same company. It’s so bright. I have it beside my computer and basically couldn’t love it more.

(via Lulus)

Way into all these feel good fabric stickers!

This shirt would be wonderful paired with a pair of high waist shorts, like these!

(via Modcloth)

This purse! Oh, so pretty!

A sweet little guide to the most popular varieties of cacti and succulents. It includes growing tips, information on propagation + how to deal with common problems!

(via Amazon)

Gah! This keychain is so sweet. You can get it customized with whatever you’d like it to say on the front as well as, obviously, your own photo. My first thought is definitely how great it’d be with our wedding date + photo!

(via CreateGiftLove)

How great does this candle sound? I bet it smells amazing!

(via Broken Top Candle Company)

Aren’t these tiny vases adorable?! I see so many little things I’d love to pick on my walks around the neighborhood, something like this would be perfect.

One of my faaaavorite artists, Erin Guido teamed up with Free Period Press to make the cutest guest book…ever! They’re currently running a Kickstarter to get them printed. It’s 100 pages with 20 unique designs repeated 5 times and boy, oh boy, are they cute!! It’d not only be great to have in your home but it’d also make a rad wedding guestbook. You can read more, see a bunch more photos + back the project here!

Would you just look at these incredible beetle earrings!? My goodness! They’re only $15!

(via Modcloth)

This book on keeping happy houseplants looks so pretty.

(via Amazon)

I love these shoes so much. I even hesitated to post them because they’d be perfect wedding shoes for me!

(via The Fix)

Had I not just found *the* dress, I would absolutely be purchasing this one to at least try on. I looked far and wide for something white that had stars on it. Just my luck that it’d show up online a few weeks late! PS. If you’re in the market for an affordable dress – I rounded up 7+ sites to check out for wedding dresses earlier this week!

(via Modcloth)

A pretty decent deal on these medical models if you’re looking to start or add to a collection!

(via Grandpa’s Market)

I stumbled upon these tiny coordinate rings earlier in the week and just can’t get them out of my head. Maybe I’m all gross and lovey dovey since my wedding is so rapidly approaching but they’re just so sweet!

(via Caitlyn Minimalist)

LOVE this summery dress.

(via Urban Outfitters)

How rad is this dental film hanger!? It be pretty cool with photos hung on it!

  • Love these earrings from Dear Drew by Drew Barrymore.
  • I legit snorted when I saw these stupid fish slippers.
  • Really really excited to get married + be on Jeff’s insurance so I can finally update my glasses prescription. I want these so bad. PS Don’t forget Warby Parker has free at home try on which is seriously the most convenient thing ever.
  • Socks for those of us who get hangry.

PS. I have a list of more rad finds here + they’re organized by color!!! I update one color per week to really help the list grow. This week – ORANGE!

Loved these pink, sprinkle covered shoes a bunch… then I saw that they actually even say ‘donut queen’ and now I love them even more.

Loooved those little crystal trees you could grow, and now you can grow crystal saguaros too!!

(via Urban Outfitters)

Bicycle dress! Yes, please!

bicycle dress!

(via Modcloth)

I’ve got a major crush on this bed!

(via Anthropologie)

I finally found a bodysuit that fits my long torso (this one) and now I want a bunch of them. I love the sleeves on this one.

(via Free People)

Cactus shoes!

(via Anthropologie)

I’m the kind of gal who just shoves everything she needs in the giant pockets of her winter coat instead of carrying a purse. Now that coat season is coming to an end (…any day now Ohio) I needed to find something cute that matched at least a good chunk of my wardrobe. I ended up picking up this foldover backpack purse and I’m obsessed! It’s cute, it holds a ton of stuff, is comfortable, and actually looks pretty dang put together with my outfits. (If you’re interested, I’d grab one soon. There used to be more colors but now there is just white!)

(via Target)

Really love this dress! Just so cute and summery! (It’d also pair really well with the backpack above!)

(via Express)

Way into this kitchen spoon!

(via Urban Outfitters)

I know it’s not as exciting or outrageous as some of my other finds but I really just want basically everything from Amazon’s Daily Ritual line. So far I own this top and two pairs of these pants. I can’t wait to add more to my collection. This pull over is especially tempting.

(via Daily Ritual)

Link love…

  • If you’re looking for a short wedding dress – here’s one that’s awfully dreamy!
  • Lovin’ this bra! It’s fairly simple, yet super sexy.
  • ZEBRA DRESS. I mean, a dress covered in tiny zebras. It’s funky and fun but you could still probably get away with wearing it to work.
  • A sheer bodysuit which is gorgeous enough on its own but if you look closely you’ll see it’s covered in bugs! Lingerie with bugs, y’all!!! I am here for it!
  • Goodness knows I could never actually have a white duvet but this one sure is pretty.
  • A jumpsuit covered in octopus!
  • I fell down a rabbit hole of cat costumes, and I don’t want out.

Happy Friday!

PS. I have a list of more rad finds here + they’re organized by color!!! I update one color per week to really help the list grow. This week – BLACK!  (Other new things this week on the list – comments on things I actually own. Hoover over a product that has a speech bubble in the top right corner to read!)

  • Crushing big time on this green velvet couch.

  • This pink lace dress isn’t my typical style but it looks awfully dreamy on the model.
