Resolving to...

While attempting to be productive reading my email (thank you Matchbook Magazine for the NEW January issue, it's lovely!), I realized that this wonderful magazine has summed up my resolutions quite beautifully. I especially like numbers 1, 5, 6, 11 and, most of all, 12. 

Now just need to hit print and live up to these babies. What are your 2012 resolutions? And, not to forget, I do still have on my list from last year to: drink more water, exercise more, less sugar more veggies, and don't over-think so much. Guess I still need to work on those, it's hard being so practically perfect. (cue sarcastic laughter from all my friends)

PS. If that was too subtle of a hint, you should really check out Matchbook Magazine's new issue, it's live as of TODAY.

Matchbook Magazine...

Is live...

...and you should really check it out! If not for the Thanksgiving table setting ideas, the recipes from local LG blogger Lisa of With Style & Grace, an interview with one of my absolute favorite style icons, Mr. and Mrs. Spade, annnd an amazing Holiday Gift Guide. If you're not convinced to investigate further, well, I did my best.


Psst....if you need any ideas for me for Christmas, I would recommend you doing a once-over of "The Bohemian", "The Prep" and "The Social Butterfly" in the Holiday Gift Guide (mom) there you will spot some really great finds. Actually, I would be happy with really anything on the list. (mom)

PS. Did you notice I added another tab to the header? This is where you can find some of my dailys. These are my favorite blogs that I enjoy "daily." So, before you head over to Matchbook Mag, take a gander at some of MY favorites. Happy Friday!

Holiday! Celebrate!

Happy Labor Day weekend! What are your plans for this long weekend? Fun out of town festivities? Or long stay-cations relaxing at home? Either way it's a happy weekend when you have Monday off of work. Can't complain about that. And to get you in that end of the summer holiday spirit, Matchbook Magazine's blog The Daily Spark has your Labor Day essentials.

Thank you MB for this. Currently picturing myself climbing into that hammock with my favorite (spiked) sweet tea drink and eventually passing out taking a nap in the sun. Sounds like a great way to end the summer if you ask me. 


Have a lovely weekend.

PS. Does anyone else feel the need to get their cute little hands on those adorable cat-eye sunglasses like I do? Seriously, Kate Spade, I will see you this weekend.

Oh Me, Oh My!

I have been busy! Both Adore Home Magazine AND Matchbook Magazine launched new issues the other day. (I apologize for the delay, I was experiencing some technical difficulty yesterday) Anyway, as you can imagine I have been busy reading them in my spare time (or more like studying them....whatever).  There are some pretty amazing images and lots of swoon-worthy spring colors in both issues.  Let me show some of Look So Lovely's favorites.


First stop Adore Home:
 

I have a small place in my heart for color coordinated book cases

Pretty wallpaper, desk chair AND matching chevron pillow & lamp shade

Love picture via - madebygirl

NEED that pendant lamp, like, immediately

Some Matchbook Mag action:

Starburst mirror + lots of lovely trinkets = pretty awesome picture

Feeling some serious desk envy

Loving the orange & navy color and pattern combos

 Yes, it's true about my bow-tie infatuation and love of the Royals

Hope you enjoy them as much as I did and would love for your feedback about either magazine, what are your favs?! 


Wishing you a lovely and warm weekend.
