I’m so glad to see the end of this week. Whew!

Fortunately I have something very sweet to look forward to this weekend: my Great Grandmother’s 95th birthday. I LOVE her! I was left in charge of the dessert, which is one thing I can actually do well. So tomorrow night I’ll be whipping up a red velvet cake and if time allows these fresh strawberry cupcakes.

Here’s some other good stuff:

Nie Nie was on Oprah.

Man Shops Globe looks pretty amazing.

Sarah Gardan photographed the perfect French pumpkin patch.

A boy builds a windmill from a picture in a book to save his family. So inspiring.

Pretty much the funniest baby costume ever.

And this this the cutest.

Stacey took some beautiful photos of American Fork Canyon.

The Chanel Supershow looked insane and amazing. I love Karl Lagerfield.

If you want to see something pretty, you must check out the new black line by Ban.dō. It is too good.

I love this: a pie-in-a-jar.

Okay, have a wonderful weekend! xo

Anthropologie for dogs? Yougottabejoking. As if I need more temptation, or Harlow needs more treats. I love the rope leashes although they are probably too big for Harlow. I think they are the same ones that Melissa posted here.

And in case your pooch has everything… you can get a doggie soap-on-a-rope.

I stumbled on this amazing photographer via Oui Oui Mon Paris!.

I love this shot of Paris at night. I mean wow.

More beautiful photos:

Shanghai Soundbite

Just some random songs that I love. These are mostly old. I need new music.

Honey Bee by Zee Avi

West Coast by Coconut Records

The Luckiest by Ben Folds

Our Last Summer by ABBA
(My favorite ABBA song. Ever.)

Love of the Loveless by The Eels

Death of Auto-Tune by Jay-Z

I’m happy to share these with you but as always if you like them please support the artist by purchasing them.

Definitely need new music.

I hope so because I just bought this sweet shirt right over here. Thanks Naomi for the link.

And here are some of my favorite cupcakes from around the web:

Can you guess my favorite? It’s totally the octopus. So awesome.

I managed to get to work JUST in time this morning. I did not manage however, to throw on anything other than sweats and a cardigan. Whoops.

It turns out I do have some finds to share with you after all, so here you go:

This weekend is General Conference. It’s a very special weekend where we get together to listen to our Church leaders give guidance and counsel. I love my faith.

I finally bought these darling Polaroid note cards. I can’t wait to send them but I will keep a few for myself I’m sure.

And I discovered this lovely blog. Jenny is one of the contributers for the Polaroid note cards. (found via Joanna)

A great idea: using tie clips to display Polaroids.

This tumblr site has a great collection of Paris photos, quotes and videos.

Even though reading Anne’s blog takes a little time and effort on my part (since my French is SO bad), looking at her gorgeous photography is easy peasy.

The most beautiful mini pies ever.

Lisa has a beautiful, and FREE October calander for you.

Lonny has launched! The void that Domino folding created is being filled.

I’m super excited for Design Sponge’s book!

Lovely liquid Polaroids

Who knew I’d fall in love with ceramic cheese markers?

It’s Friday and I’ve got nothing for you. Well, just two little Polaroids.

Have a lovely weekend!
