Weekend Snaps

This weekend flashed by for me, how was yours? I just got back from a fun trip to Portland with my mom so some of my Weekend Snaps are from that trip. I'll post more about our Portland trip tomorrow! For now...

This is the Anthropologie store in downtown Portland. The coral window display is made from packing materials and other repurposed goods (paper plates, straws, plastic netting, candle wax). What an amazing eco-friendly display!

Above is a beautiful Mark Rothko piece at the Portland Art Museum. Mr. Rothko's first museum exhibition was at that museum in the 1930s. The exhibit was amazing, a real treat for Rothko enthusiasts as many pieces are from the personal collections of his two children.

My craft project, chevron flower arrangements. Still a work in progress, but getting there! I kind of want to paint everything chevron now.

In other news...

J. Simp baby watch is still happening. I really wish I could stop worrying about this, but I can't. When is this baby coming, people? The latest from People (.com) is that the bun remains in the oven. So I'll try to distract myself and stop being a complete weirdo.

And, how exciting is it that Giuliana and Bill are having a baby? I loved her sweet baby party photos, also on People. I just love her and their cute show on The Style Network. All kinds of cute.

Speaking of cute, how precious is Kate Middleton in Matthew Williamson? I'm a total sucker for a beaded neckline and sleeves, and this color on her is magical. Can you believe she and Wils have been married one year? It seems like yesterday I woke up at four to make scones for the occasion. 

I'm still on the hunt for a swimsuit. Just ordered the below suit, we'll see what happens. Hopefully I'll lose ten pounds and gain the knowledge of how to make a side bun like so...

 And, can this please be my kitchen? I saw it on Peppermint Bliss, and like Jessica Simpson's spawn, I cannot get it off my mind. So beautiful, light and airy!

That's all for now. Wishing you a wonderful week!
