many thanks!

The one thing I really enjoy about blogging is the great little online "community" there is of artsy bloggers. Whether it's graphic design, fashion, decor, photography, crafts, etc., there's sooo many great blogs out there, and I love getting to know them all! So when I received a little Kreativ Blogger Award from Strawberry Lemonade it definitely made my day, and i'm excited to pass it on! Also, I received a few other blog awards, but since i've been so busy lately, i'm putting all my thanks in this post, you know who you are, and thanks again! :)

So, seven blogs that make me smile (there's so many others i love too though! next time...) and seven things that make me happy...

Delight by Design - I love Blair's blog. Seriously. Not only just she constantly post gorgeous interiors, she puts together great outfits and dreamy wedding inspiration boards. You won't be disappointed! 

{frolic!} - Frolic totally fulfills my need for gorgeous table settings. Everything she styles is sooo pretty. You have to check out a recent website she styled for - CEVD. And on top of that she always posts great fashion, photography, and other artsy finds. A must read!

Cannelle at Vanille - This ones ranges a bit more from my regular dress, design, and decor type posts but the recipes she makes and photographs she takes are so pretty I had to share. 

The City Sage - Tons of wonderful interiors live here. I love the sort of vintagy, classic, ornate, french feel her blog has. If that even makes sense, lol. One of my favs though.

Glassford Hill Girl - I like this girl! She always posts some really great design books and artsy finds, plus decor, plus fashion! I think she'd be really cool to hang out with. I hope she doesn't think thats creepy, LOL.

A Life More Fabulous -  She has my fav quote posted, "A girl should be two things, classy and fabulous," from Coco Chanel, and she posts tons of great interior decor, fashion, and a bunch of lovely finds. And she's one of my fellow classmates from BYW!

Oh Joy! - Oh Joy is such a cool blog. She finds so many neat, quirky little things including all the topics I love most. I had a hard time picking a photo to post, lol. Although I love this print she found by Kari Herer, so i'll go with this one. Be forewarned - you'll want a lot of things off her blog!

And finally... seven things that make me happy:

1. A basic tee that hangs just right, with skinny jeans, great shoes, a chic black bag and over-sized sunglasses (ok so that's 5 things in one)

2. Beautiful graphic design

3. Interior decor, which borders on an obsession

4. A good stack of glossy, new magazines

5. Paris, Paris VOGUE, Parisian lifestyle, croissants in Paris, Paris with my best friend, springtime in Paris, ok... I better stop here...

6. The combined smell of Chapters bookstore and Starbucks coffee.

7. And Rick of course, xo
