Things I Heart IV

Things I Heart is rocking out with this March edition!

I love sharing items that I enjoy with you. This edition contains lots of links, so you can enjoy for yourself. Of course, there are some that are a little more personal, but can be modified to fit your life. For example, while you can't have baby Sam photos sent to you, you can look at adorable pictures of babies that you love. You also can't read the school journals that Mom found in the basement, but you can read journals that you wrote in, or a loved one did, and have a good laugh at the photos and stories. That's enough about me - I should stop typing and get to the sharing part, shouldn't I?

Here you go... take a look:

1. Chevron prints

2. Olive green and hot pink

3. Tiramisu from the Italian Market

4. What I Wore Wednesdays on these three blogs

5. Sarah 101 every Thursday morning

6. Elementary school journals

7. Twilight Woods hand soap from Bath and Body Works

8. Foxes. Always. Watch this video and it may convert you.

9. Sam photos sent to our phone :)

10. Rustic industrial shelving

What do you heart lately?

Happy Wednesday!

A Little Debate.

I'm trying to make a decision.

We have a fairly large painting in the living room. I've been meaning to repaint one of the lines to match our current colours, but since I've been eyeballing it the past few weeks, another idea popped into my mind. I would love to paint the frame white! 

We have so much dark, heavy furniture in our living room, and I wanted the room to feel light and bright when I first chose our wall colour. The white frame would be a serious hit of brightness. The only thing is, the painting is on the same wall as the television. Black TV plus black framed painting equals kind of blending, right? I can't make up my mind. Here's a photo to jog your memory:

If I really wanted everything to blend, I could create some sort of gallery wall surrounding the television. I'm kind of over the gallery wall look, though. I've tried it before, and I feel that you need to invest in pretty, nice, cohesive frames in order to pull it off correctly. Buying frames is not something that I feel like spending money on. Free white paint in the basement is a little more my style :)

The whole "light and bright" approach for our living room is really taken from a Pure Design makeover that I got our wall colour from. Here's a link if you would like to take a peek at my inspiration . I feel like our living room needs a nice loud dose of white.

Well, what do you think - leave as is or paint the frame white?

As a side note - if this helps to pull you in any particular direction... I'm adding yellow accessories to the room over the next few weeks.

Polyvore Loves

Time for another Polyvore Loves!

This week, I have a totally mod outfit to share. The hip little printed Orla Kiely dress, the high-end gold woven Tory Burch flats, and the Marc by Marc Jacobs pretty coral purse are enough to send anyone on a designer shopping spree! I love the adorable (and inexpensive!) accessories from Mod Cloth, too - the floral earrings and beautiful gold ring are the perfect match for the dress. 

Add a little coral nail polish colour-coordinated to the ensemble, and you are good to go on any date your heart desires! This outfit would be fairly versatile, good for almost any situation. I am telling you though, if I catch you are wearing this outfit, I will be extremely jealous! :)

Happy Sunday!
