The Friday Five

Sorry I've been MIA.
Vacationing up North for the last 7 days.
(Pics to come!)
But I'll be back in full force next week!
Here's what's good for now...

1.

Vampire Weekend

Road trippin' for a total of 12+ hours in the car with the huzz
ensures a LOT of Vampire Weekend will be heard.

Why not embrace them in all their glory?

2.
blue & white stripes + navy blazer + tan leather belt
A perfect end-of-the-summer look for a night out on the town, no?

3.
Mosquito repelling plants
Must remember to position a few of these in pots on the deck, near the front door (and anywhere else we might be spending outdoor time) for next year!
Citronella, Lemon Eucalyptus, Cinnamon, Castor, Rosemary, Lemongrass, Cedar, Peppermint, Clove, Geranium, Verbena, Pennyroyal, Lavendar, Basil, Thyme, and Garlic!

4.
5 warm grays for the home
I'm feeling these way more than the drab beige realm.

5.
Finding the calm
Hoping to achieve exactly just this up in the North Woods of WI.

And a few more fun links just because it's Friday...

A less messy, hand-held version of s'mores.  Still made in the campfire!

LOVE this flowy anthro dress.

50 rules of vacationing.  So apropos.

An interesting twist on a Cobb salad.

OMG, this is hilarious.  And true.

Have a happy, happy weekend!
