Everyday Series: Beauty & the Beard

 Laura's recipes always have my drooling... this is on my list to make ASAP. 

Hello Lovlies!I'm Laura from B&B and I feel pretty honored to be here today as part of Eileen's Everyday series! Here are my Everyday Happies:

Everyday Happy: House Edition

We just moved to our new apartment a month ago and don't have any decorating done (fail). Thus, the pool is currently my favorite place. Give me a Martha magazine and a little sun and I'm good to go. 

Everyday Happy: Closet Edition

I change up my closet constantly, and right now I'm back to good old fashioned color-coding. As you can see, this half of the closet is full of pattern & brights!

Everyday Happy: Morning Edition

I know it's not original but I love me some coffee in the morning. Skim lattes are my favorite, but I'm usually boring and just have black coffee for breakfast (along with 2 Eggo waffles). 

Everyday Happy: Relax edition 

While I love a good glass of wine to unwind- my ultimate relaxation is sitting by the water. I grew up on a lake, and am lucky that Madison is on an isthmus! Sitting down by Lake Mendota with friends watching the sunset is by far my happy place.  

Everyday Lust: Shopping Edition 

Why does it seem like a change in seasons makes buying new things validated? These 4 are on the top of my list currently: Jacquie Aiche Initial Rings, Madewell Parisienne Storyteller Scarf, Madewell Leather Transport Tote, & Tory Burch Reva Flats.

Everyday Lust: Pin Edition

The majority of my pins on Pinterest fall into two categories: DIY and Tablescapes/Decorating. This is a pin from forever ago, but it remains one of my favorites. The copper painted tin cans with simple arrangements is just beyond elegant. (picture via)

Everyday Lust: Travel Edition 

I've lived abroad a few times, and each time I come back I want to go somewhere new! My mom and sister went to Italy for a few weeks last year, and my jealousy was overwhelming- it's definitely the next travel spot to see on my list. My sister snapped this shot in Venice...perfect, isn't it? (photo via louisa marion photography)

Everyday Read: Blog Edition
I go in phases of the blogs I follow, but there are a few that always make my day a little brighter:

Ashley of One Fine Day 
Tiffany of The Coffeehouse
Alison of Long Distance Loving
