Weekend Roundup

I hope you all have been having a wonderful week!  Here are some links and favorites from this week:

 I have a new hair tutorial up over on A Beautiful Mess!  This hair style is especially cute for 50s/60s inspired outfits. 

I've been making more of an effort to buy more separates this season.  These tops from Lulu's are things I'd like to see in my closet!

These oven s'mores from Jen of Jen Loves Kev looking AMAZING.  I am definitely making these soon!!

The winner of the iconemesis giveaway is:

**If you want a good laugh, you should definitely pop over to the Friendly Fox and check out Annie's "Big Jacob, Little Spaces" series.  Her kid is so darn cute & hilarious!

**Don't forget, the Emerging Thoughts codes are good through the end of May.  Use "katie" to receive 30% off the Beatrice Holloway collection and the code "skunkboy" for 15% off everything else!

**I don't know how many of you are already familiar with Craftgawker, but I've been finding lots of fun crafts and inspiration over there!

Weekend Roundup

Happy Friday, friends!  Here are some lovely links and special favorites from this week!

Remember the Beatrice Holloway collection I modeled for Emerging Thoughts?  Well, it's all 30% off right now (YES, I SAID 30% OFF) with the code "katie".

Everything else is 15% off with the code "skunkboy".  Good deals!

This ID bracelet tutorial from Pugly Pixel is so adorable.

 
My extremely talented sponsor Isabel Knowles of I Know is having a little giveaway for Skunkboy readers!  Isabel creates beautiful handmade clothing.  You should definitely pop by and check it out if you get a chance!  Also, take a peek at her shop-- such loveliness!  :)

I just love Jo's blog Lost in the Haze.  She is a living doll.

A few other things:
Adventurer Vintage is offering Skunkboy readers 10% through the end of May.
This purse and this purse from ModCloth are calling my name.
I'm currently loving the new Beach House album.
I really want to make these salted caramel shortbread treats.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

Friday Favorites: St. Patricks Day

Hooray, it's Friday!  St. Patrick's Day is this Saturday, so I thought it would be fun to share an all-green Friday Favorites!

1.  This green dress from ModCloth would keep any gal from getting pinched!

2.  This Key Lime Cake from Life, Etc. would be so yummy any day!

3.  I'm smitten with this Mellie Bianco bag from Lulu's... St. Paddy's day or not. 

4.  This coaster DIY from Sincerely, Kinsey is so great!

Okay, truth time:  the only reason I celebrate St. Patrick's Day is because of Hope.  If it weren't for her I'd wear a smidge of green so strangers at the grocery store don't pinch me (yes, I have been pinched by multiple strangers on SPD) and probably forget it was even a holiday.  Hope makes it fun, though.  We eat green foods all day, she dresses head-to-toe in green, and she makes up fun little games and decorations.  That's the beauty of innocence... everything feels magical and fun.  I love it.  It's contagious.  :)

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe weekend!  xoxo Katie

Friday Favorites

Here's a little peek at what I've been loving lately! 

1.  This adorable DIY for mounted toy animals is so cute!  This looks like such a fun project to do with Hope!

2.  I've been shopping for pretty planners lately and I'm smitten with this one! 

 3.  This little necklace from Poppy and Fern is the loveliest!

4.  The amazing embroidery of Lucky Jackson.  This one KILLLLLLLSSSSS me!

5.  This whimsical necklace found via WishWishWish.

Happy Friday, folks!  I can't believe the weekend is here already and I REALLY can't believe that it's time for a sponsor call!  Soooo... if you are interested in sponsoring for the month of March, please see my sponsor page or email sponsorskunkboy@gmail.com.  You know I'd love to have you.  <3

I'll talk a little more about my tattoo next week and show you the original design.  Thank you all for the positive feedback.  I always get nervous about that stuff for some reason.  Have a great weekend!

xoxo Katie

Feature Friday: Favorites

Here's another round of favorites I've gathered this week:

1.  I'm loving this coat from ASOS.  It's too bad that I have my eye on, like, 5 different coats for this winter:

2.  I'm so excited about my friend Diana's newest endeavor, Gadchick!  You can read all about it here.

3.  I had so much fun doing this guest post over on A Beautiful Mess this week!  I've loved seeing all of the hair bow pictures you've sent me!!

4.  I'm dying to try this cinnamon roll recipe that Holly used!  'Tis the season for treats (that's actually every season in my house)!

5.  I need to get my hands on one of these Danny Brito Chubby Books!

I hope you all have a great weekend!  We have more bonfires and baby showers to attend, so our schedule is full of fun!  xoxo Katie

Feature Friday: Good Finds

Yay, it's Friday!  That doesn't mean much to people who work through the weekend (like me), but there is just something exciting about Friday, anyway.  Maybe we've just been conditioned growing up in school to love the weekends, but I still do.  :)

For this Feature Friday I thought I'd share some crazy good things from around the web this week: 

1.  Elsie gets double love.  The fishtail braid with the yarn is SO CUTE, and the lookbook just makes me grin.  The clothes are perfect, the song is perfect... oh, and every time I watch it I just want to squeeze Sarah.  She is so darn cute.

2.  I am so excited about this Tim Burton blog party coming next month!  Paper Sparrow is one of my favorite blogs (I'm stoked to have her as a sponsor this month!).  I thought the Wes Anderson blog party last month was so, so fun!  

3.  I love these photo an hour posts from Kaylah and Elycia.  I love when blogger friends are real life friends (obviously) and they are totally adorable!

4.  This Mocktail recipe on Sunshine and Carousels looks so yummy!  I think I need to make this happen for myself soon.  ;)

5.  Oh, and I'm sure you'd like to know who won the Studio M.M.E. giveaway, right?  The winner is Jenni:

Jenni, I'll pass your info onto Megan and she'll get you your pattern.  Happy embroidering!

I hope you all have a great weekend!  We have a pretty full schedule, but I'm looking forward to it!  xoxo Katie
