happy friday! remember the other day when i mentioned i need some much need leisure time? you see—my magazine subscriptions have stacked up and i thought it was time to catch up on the latest. sometimes it is hard to just take sometime to yourself and relax—i am the worst at remembering how important it actually is until i make the time to do it and the ahhhhhhh feeling settles in and it’s like how could you forget?

well this is a style post right?—above : thigh highs are from target, flower headpiece from forever 21

one of my favorite things to do is scour magazines for ideas and to keep up with the season’s trends. haven’t switched over to the iPad quite yet—not ready for it. my current subscriptions are Martha Stewart Living, Everyday Food, Country Living, Entreprenuer, Marie Claire, Lucky, Whole Living & Glamour.


above: the big pillow is from anthropologie and the little matching ones are from home goods. outfit: dress from bcbg, cardigan from express and necklace was thrifted.


did i mention that beautiful diptych painting that fits perfectly in the corner of my bedroom is a painting by my sister? she is super talented and i am lucky enough to have some of her paintings—check out her beeswax birdies—you will fall in love with each one.
hope you are inspired to take some time to yourself—maybe this weekend? what titles are in your stack of magazines?
thanks again to pola esther for her amazing photos. see all the styled posts here.
