Five Things I Love Friday; These are my current obsessions.
1. Front Porches


All Images Via: Weheartit
My apartment doesn't have a porch or balcony. This just will not do. When choosing my next place a front porch will definitely be on my "must have" list. During summer all I want to do is hang out, preferably on a bench swing, and enjoy cold beverages. Music and company would be great as well.
2. Mint Green

Pretty as can be without being nauseatingly feminine. I also love the way the color pairs with black and gray for fall.
3. Plums
It's summer, and plums are as cheap and delicious as they are going to be all year. Thus, I haver eaten plums and greek yogurt almost every day for two weeks. Mmmm, so good.
4. Double Denim

With all the denim I purchased on Wednesday, I am seriously considering giving this one a go. I can't say it is really me, but I think I have come up with a few combinations that I actually like. Sometimes I even surprise myself.
5. Vintage brooches.

Love these. I have the urge to collect a bunch and post them on a fabric board in my office. That seems like it could be an ongoing decorating project. With my limited attention span, I can only handle projects that take a long time to finish.
Have a great weekend.

Five years ago I owned a mint green blouse that I wore all the time! I got rid off of it a long time ago when it started to fall apart and I had totally forgotten about it until this! I miss that shirt....
ReplyDeleteMaybe a trip to the Newseum and a possible chance encounter with Clooney will cheer me up!

I'm also on a mint green buzz lately. Can't help but feel completely drawn to it! Nice post :)
ReplyDeleteThe first two steal my heart! :) I love them so!!!
ReplyDeleteI am obsessed with front porches too. That is probably partly because it's a pretty rare thing in Spain.
ReplyDeleteMint green has to be one of my favorite colors. I also admire vintage brooches very much...also on the hunt for them at thrift shops :]

I love all of these - most especially the mint! I'm crazy about it right now and I really need to be hunting for more things in the shade. My wardrobe s definitely lacking in mint.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the double denim look! It used to be so taboo, but I'm glad people are going for it now. When it's done right it can look quite fun, I think. (:

I love porches and plums... When I worked selling fruit we had so many good types of plums. Elephant heart plums (fav), dinosaur egg plums, and of course pluots... yumm.
ReplyDeleteOh I love them all!!
ReplyDeleteEspecially the front porches! What I would do for a front porch (or general outdoor area!) :)
Just lovely x
The front porch (or deck) at my mom's house is awesome. It has a great view of the water. You should probably come over next time we have a party over there :)
ReplyDeleteDenim on denim is an interesting idea. I don't know if I would want to try it though.
