pretty things

Today and this whole week really has been kind of crazy. But now it’s a wonderful, rainy evening and I get to spend it watching silly movies and snacking on gummi bears, yay! It’s feels good to have all the errands and chores done and now relaxing is at the top of the to do list. Well relaxing and showing you some pretty things!

Joel’s office went downtown yesterday and took an architecture boat tour of the city as an office bonding sort of thing. He took so many great photos but this house is my favorite…

Chicago Architecture

It looks like kind of place that would have all kinds of wonderful nooks and surprises. I think this bookcase staircase would be a perfect fit.

Jeska posted some lovely photos of J. Crew’s Fall Looks. I love all the tweed and lace! To me the collection looks very English country house with little military additions.  These are some of my favorites:

I want to toss some of these pretty outfits in a suitcase and escape for a week or so to the Ace Hotel.

I would want to take along an adorable clutch from Made by Hank, too. The shop just got restocked with lots of pretty things!

One last super cute and pretty thing! I love this photoshoot of Kelli Murray by Katie Gardener. How perfect is that Volkswagen bus? Love it!

    I’ve driven by that house before, I agree, it’s awesome. I oohed and awed the first time. Any excuse to drive by there now.
