Can’t decide if I’m noticing this color more because I’m somehow choosing to or because it’s the shade du jour. Have you been seeing more mint lately…? Something tells me it’s going to be big this spring and summer. It calls to mind one of my most delicious childhood memories: The Mint Milkshake. I think I’ve written about them a looooong time ago on here, but I’d love to share it with you again…

This past weekend was magical, I think in part because I let my true homebody come out. During the week, my life is very social. After work probably four out of five weeknights I have something to do: a meeting for a project I’m working on with others. An event. Meeting with other bloggers. And on really fun nights, dinner with a friend. I love my weeks to be busy and fulfilling, but when it comes to the weekend, I really just love to hunker down.

Happy weekend, friends! I have nothing on my calendar this weekend and I couldn’t be more excited about it. Do you have anything planned? It’s been a lot of fun watching New York Fashion Week unfold. I’m adoring all of the playfulness going on in Anna Sui’s collection {above}. Can’t wait to see what the rest of Fashion Week has to offer.
Wishing you a lot of fun this weekend! Your links after the jump.

With Lenoir opening on the heels of Elizabeth Street, Bouldin Creek is quickly establishing itself as the next go-to spot for hip new Austin restaurants. I’m so eager to try this one out! Tuesday through Saturday, Lenoir offers a $30 prix-fixe menu where diners choose three items from the four categories: Field, Sea, Land and Dream. How sweet is that? With it’s cozy interior and thoughtful food, this feels like the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion. Read a fun interview with co-owner, Jessica Maher, here.

With Valentine’s day over, it feels like we’re only a hop, skip and jump away from spring. I splurged and treated myself to these yesterday. I’ve been wanting them for so long and they finally got my size back in stock! I can’t wait to wear them with cigarette jeans, shorts and just the right white dress. The above photos capture two things I love about warmer weather: high-waisted bell bottoms and shorter hemlines. What’s not to love?Although I do prefer the colder months, I’m ready for frozen ritas, a trip to the beach and warm weather clothes.
I’d love to know: what’s on your spring wish list?
