Here are some of my favorite things for May!

1. I have some pops of blue throughout my apartment, and have had my eye on this print to add to them.

2. I have been obsessed with this Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Peony scent for spring. I don’t like super flowery scents, but this one works and has a sweetness and freshness to it. And it’s cruelty free!

3. I would more than welcome this gnome into my home!

4. I am very picky when choosing a planner.  I need a good monthly calendar layout, enough to do list space in the weekly calendar, and it has to be cute!  This ban.do agenda has it all! Also, please do yourself a favor and start following ban.do’s Founder and Creative Director, Jen Gotch, on Instagram @jengotch. You’re welcome.

5. While you’re over there following Jen, start following @girlwithnojob.  P.S. I ❤ Zac Efron.

6. I’ve been wanting a vintage globe. One with the perfect shade of teal blue (another pop of blue!), but this chalkboard globe is pretty awesome.  It would look great on a bookshelf, in an office, in a kid’s room, or in a classroom.  Could be a great end of the year teacher gift too!

7. Each month, a group of my friends and I have a “wine club” night. We always at least have cheese and crackers, so I would like to get this cheese board by the next time I host.  I actually got this for my boyfriend’s parents for Christmas so I have seen it in action, and it is great quality and so sleek.

Hope you are having a great start to your weekend!

Colorful Books!

So to follow up my “Color Coded Bookshelves” post from the other day, here are some coffee table books and colorful books that I’ve had on my wish list!  These could definitely be used as decor and to achieve a bold pop of color!

The New Bohemians, Puffin Classic Series, Ladies of Letterpress, Sense and Sensibility

Hopefully these pretty colors can help you daydream through your Monday 😉

  I am a huge fan of using books & coffee table books for styling around the home.  They work as little details or for a more substantial focal point.  Right now in my apartment I just have the space to use them sporatically, but I hope to someday have a library or a big wall of bookshelves in my home.

These photos show the books being grouped by color and it creates such an impact!  Depending on how the colors are grouped, the books can bring in pops of specific colors or the whole rainbow!
