Music Monday - Snow Patrol

I've been on a soft rock kick today and lately this awesome Snow Patrol song has been making me happy. I had nearly forgotten it when it came up the other day on Pandora. I thought I'd share it for Music Monday to hopefully inspire smiles. Happy Monday!

Dreaming of Spring

As much as I love winter (no, seriously) I can't help thinking that the first day of spring is only a month away. Soon enough we'll be gardening and camping and making flower crowns in the finally-warm sun.

So, I just thought I'd put together some dream outfits. Shorts, sunglasses, you know that sort of thing. Although truthfully, lately, we've been getting some 70 degree days out here and have been wearing those things already. Unfortunately they don't last and tomorrow is supposed to be in the 40s. Yeah...

Ponytails Can Be Awesome

I need to do more with my hair. Seriously I never do anything to it. It's either down or up in a bun anymore. I'd like to try this messy side ponytail soon. I really love the look. Find all the steps here.

Words of Wisdom

“With each new day it becomes more apparent to me that everything and everyone in this world is connected in some beautiful and inexplicable way, and the more I accept that, the more my world seems to come together.” - Andrew McMahon

Music Monday - Keren Ann

This stunning video from Dutch/Israeli/French singer-songwriter Keren Ann has totally captured my heart. I think I've watched it about five times already. Amazing dancing, lights, outfits and most of all an amazing song! Great unique, fun sound. I'm very much looking forward to her new album. Happy music Monday.

Monday Links

Why do links always have to be on Friday? What not Monday for a change? Truth is I meant to do this on Friday but being out of the habit I forgot so that's why I decided on today.

While I'm here though I want to apologize for not doing the "Words of Wisdom" lately, I had wanted to keep that going on. I'll hopefully be able to get that started again now. Just thought I'd let you know. Also the "My Corner of the World In" for January isn't going to happen, sorry. Hope you've all been doing wonderfully.

Scented draw liners.

Winter picnics can be awesome.

These constellation birthday cards are oh so rad.

Tomboy style.

Love, love, love this girly look-book.

Ever wondered what happened on this day in years past?

Snow up close.

And this necklace.
