FEEDing the world

while browsing the latest Lonny magazine, i came across this article:

what an amazing organization! i think it is awesome that the bags meet a greater need. Her company uses environmentally-friendly and artisan made products to FEED the world.

love the messages on these!

 i might have to invest in the "love" bag

i like the strap on this one! and how legit it is.

jilly's place

okay, so i know my last post was about jillian's cute outfit for extreme home makeover, but she posted a link to this article today and i had to share her tastefully done apartment!

this picture is probably my favorite picture of all! it would be so fun to try out new recipes or host a get together in this kitchen. i like how minimal she kept the decor; everything on the counter has a purpose. i also love the white marble, flat stovetop for easy cleaning, awesome industrial sink, and stainless steel fridge with a freezer on the bottom. all things that i would incorporate into my dream kitchen.

here, i love the chalkboard and fun messages on it. and also the yogurt covered pretzels and apples..both are favorite snacks of mine!

here, i am loving the neutrals, as well as the gorgeous art collection. in the article, jillian talks about how she loves the art because it is special and has meaning to her. it doesn't matter that it isn't worth tons of money, its the meaning behind it. i feel that way about what is hanging on my wall right now. either i got it in europe, from some local artist, or its a card that someone special sent me, or an awesome map my mom found at an estate sale.

ummmm, i really heart this pillow. she said she got it when she was engaged, but that she still loves it. and i do too! in fact, i think this pillow looks pretty doable. im trying to decide if i would copy this phrase or come up with a sweet one of my own. maybe a spring break craft is in order?

oh, and i also like the throw a lot!

cute shoes. 

when she posted the link to this article, i noticed her new profile picture. i don't know if this is a part of her home, but i really like the blue with the little pink accents. also, the duvet is adorable. it reminds me of this one, which i have had my eye on at anthro for a while. i think it would be so cozy  with my gray west elm quilt.

i have my eye on this adorable jcrew chambray shirt. the heart pocket is such a sweet touch!

also loving how chic colorblock dresses are this year! this one is from urban

i ordered this pretty colorblock lime shift yesterday from f21, looking forward to its arrival! can't wait to wear it with some neutral heels!

i really love benefit makeup, especially posietint. it lasts for hours and the pink color is perfect for spring!

she sells seashells

first of all...loving this beautiful seashell print found here

how pretty would that be framed in a bedroom?

also love this pretty seashell swimsuit from aerie....the starfish print is so whimsical and elegant

which i think would be darling with a feminine sun hat

and some flirty scalloped shorts!

love for south africa

confession: i love the bachelor. it's my guilty pleasure. ironically, my grandpa got me hooked when i was in high school. each wednesday night, i would come straight from church and eat popcorn and drink dr. pepper with him and we would watch the bachelor. and on the finale, he would get me a rose. one of many reasons why i adore my grandpa.

anyways, i have been watching this season, and although i don't really love brad womack, i do love that his group dates are in south africa! so romantic. 

i personally want to go here...

this giraffe manor is in nairobi, and it looks amazing. can you imagine giraffes walking around outside your beautiful hotel in africa or coming to join you while you eat breakfast? awesome.

also loving the south africa-inspired decor from anthro this spring. 

i love that on the backs of the pillows are maps. and the tassels make it so unique. what a fun bedroom! especially if you have a heart for africa.

julianne hough {aka my new best friend}

part of my new years resolution was to be even more consistent with my work out. SO in january, after seeing a commercial for it, i ordered julianne hough's ballroom cardio and just dance dvds and have been doing them every day since (well with the exception of the last few days, because of a respiratory infection that has left me wheezing and hacking.) but seriously, this work out is perfect because it isn't too long, and its a great cardio work out. ive been doing it for 2 months straight and am more toned than i ever have been!

the only thing is, if you don't like a peppy instructor, don't buy this because julianne is full of pep and pretty corny yet entertaining phrases such as "you can do this in the cluuuuuub" and "caw caw!" (while she is doing a move entitled "the bird") at least they are good for a laugh.

and...here is a link to an interview about staying fit with my favorite bachelorette jillian harris! :) enjoy

friday favorites (just a lil late)

my chunky tassel throw from west elm . seriously, it is so cozy. and i especially love how versatile it is. i think it could probably look great in any room ever. 

and girl scout cookies

as a former girl scout, i personally love the samoas, but i especially love the message behind the cookies: that little girls are learning, working towards goals, making friends, and bettering the community. these cookies make people happy because they are delicious AND they help send girls to summer camp. its a win-win situation! 

they have a whole history of girl scout cookies on their website, check it out, its pretty cute!
