Oh Friday, I’ve missed you! This week was crazy busy, but then again, when aren’t they? I feel like I get so little accomplished in the way of my personal life during the week. Laundry, dishes and unopened mail is literally covering my apartment. Even though there was a long list of other things I should be doing, I took some time to just sit and be this week. It felt SO nice. It’s totally cliche, but it’s important to stop and smell the roses. Or stop and take pictures of your beautiful surroundings (like I did). Below are a few things I came across this week that made life a little more enjoyable!

I’ve always wondered how people get their flower arrangements to look so good. Who knew tape was invovled?! I’m bookmarking this post for the future because it’s guranteed to come in handy.

Emma Stone is hilarious, lacks in the controversial department (Refinery 29 told me so) and rocks the cover of Vogue‘s May issue flawlessly. I want to be her when I grow up.

Maya is killin’ it over on Charmingly Styled. All black + those baby blues = gorgeousness!

If this palm print denim dress found its way into my closet, I wouldn’t be the least bit mad. Hint, hint.

Ashley over at The Blog Salon re-vamped her site this week and my jaw dropped as soon as the page loaded. She is one insanely talented individual.

I could really go for one of these cupcakes from Smallcakes a Cupcakery right about now. YUMM.

I’m so ready for the weekend. A special little lady I know is turning 26 and I can’t wait to celebrate with friends! Do you have any big weekend plans? Whatever they may be, enjoy!
