2. The Holiday Collection from J.Crew is pretty much perfect to me. It’s colorful, full of patterns and has plenty of RED. in love!
3. While I’m on the topic of fashion, I’ve fallen hard for this collection by Charlotte Taylor. The prints are incredible. I think I love the second look most of all. Magic!
4. I love this photo of Doe Deere. This is the hair color Emma tried to get for our wedding. It’s the perfect shade of blue… Dontcha think?
6. I’m loving this photo! The vibe is perfect. I have little fantasies about having a camper in my backyard someday with bonfires, smores and a clothes line to dry all my projects on. (image from Emporium magazine)
7. Have you seen Ruche’s Homemade Holiday Guide yet? It’s incredibly beautiful and filled with Holiday inspiration! We contributed our Red Velvet Cupcake recipe! There are ornaments, gift wrap ideas, decoration DIYs and more. Take a peek!
8. I’m crazy in love with this photo! I really want to do a pug photo shoot with my sister someday. Pugs make life wonderful! (Photo via Marie Claire Australia)
9. I haven’t been crazy for a pair of Toms shoes in a couple years. When I saw these, all that changed. They’re on my must have list for 2012.
10. I was inspired by the idea of a shiny alphabet by Aesthetic Outbust and I immediately ran out to buy some silver pipe cleaners for gift wrapping this season. So sweet!
Well, that’s a little dose of pretty that’s been inspiring me this week! For more things I love on a daily basis, follow me on Pinterest! Hope your Sunday is lovelyyyy. elsie

That blue dye is really easy to re-create if you use the right colour and tone your hair properly beforehand. It needs to be nearly white first or it’ll turn greenish (like her tips, you can see where the bleach didn’t take as well and she didn’t tone it out).
Wow! I think you just gave me a bunch of new ideas for outfits with the holiday post from J.Crew! Those sparkly red pants are awesome. Power pants, those are. 🙂 And Homemade Holiday Guide is fantastic. SO MUCH BETTER than just running out and buying every single little thing.
Editing portions out of comments is classy, Elsie. God forbid anything undignified yet truthful be said about someone whose hair you’d like to replicate.
OMG possum, you should SO get a caravan & restore it… they are SO MUCH FUN!!!! I got given a 1970s ex-nudist colony caravan and have been turning it into a creative sanctuary in our backyard… piccies here:
Elsie, you’re such a delightful person! Thank you for this perfect blog- I have a place to come and inspire, and feel happy about life! 🙂 A big fan of your shop too!
Good luck!
Maus, I removed that link from the comments because I had already read it. I didn’t meant to offend you, but the drama didn’t really pertain to my post and your point was most definitely heard. 🙂 XO! elsie
I absolutely love everything you’ve posted here. Especially 1) the beautiful blue hair shot (thanks for introducing me to Doe Deere) 2) The cute girl with the cute pugs and 3) the fab photo of you.
Just colored my hair blue black. But since my hair was already black, I’m sadly not seeing much blue. Your current color is good and love the last pic of you; one of my favorites I’ve seen.
well i love that final photo of you elsie! my fave charlotte taylor look is the green & white dress! didn’t emma’s hair look like that photo or was emma’s darker?
My mom has a little trailer like that in her backyard under some tall trees. It has a little stone walkway that goes up to it and they set it up with a tiny TV that plays VHS cassettes. My younger brothers and sister have sleepovers in it in the summer. How perfect hey?

I love these lists! I never expect them and then they’re a lovely surprise. Because Sunday is so quiet in blog land.
those collages are BEAUTIFUL! Same with the first 3 dresses from Charlotte Talyor… and everything else! Thanks for the inspiration…

I love your blog so much Elsie!
The collar on the dress you’re wearing is amazing, did it come that way or is the collar detachable?

Those collages are stunning. Thanks for Sharing!
When I saw your #4, I immediately thought of this etsy shop I just found: http://www.etsy.com/shop/MissVioletLace
It could fulfill my dreams of purple (and other) colored hair without the commitment or probability that I’ll screw it up.
I like the collages 🙂 hugs and kisses xoxox
Love the J.Crew collection! Wish I could pull off blue hair and magenta lips 🙂
Agreed, J. Crew just keeps getting better and better. Also, I adore the collages. Nice picks!
Yes!! That blue shade is great! I think Emma kind of looks like that model too. Gorgeous! 🙂
well, i always to my friends that i’m in love with your blog and this post is just another proof why. thanks again.
I love the vintage look!
You know, I was not into J.Crew for a minute, but they really stepped up their game over the last year.
I’m a follower. Will you follow me?
