this week’s pinspirations:

colorful, inspiring words // greenery in the bedroom // yummy snacks // summer neutrals – for the office, for the weekend

links: 

*exchange of good{ness}.  check it out and spread the word – via twitter, instagram, your blog or from the rooftops.

*in august of 2007, i made my first etsy purchase – three soy candles by cottage garden therapies.  lavender chamomile, hippie in a jar and patchouli.  they came in the most adorable dark glass jar with a home-made label.  the candles lasted forever and the scents were amazing, but i never revisited the shop!  several years later, here i am…ready to make another purchase.  i mean, who doesn’t want their home smelling like a hippie?  {they sell soap, scrubs and body lotion, too.}

*a few weeks ago, i received an email from kate – a jewelry designer living in maine.  every summer kate travels to different towns, selling her jewelry at local markets and festivals.  recently, she purchased a vintage trailer with the hopes of opening her very own mobile jewelry shop!  however, the trailer needs several repairs – water damage, upgrades, etc.  so kate is asking for donations to help!  there’s no pressure to donate, i just thought i’d spread the word.  for more information, visit kate’s kickstarter page.

*don’t forget to enter the dogeared mother’s day giveaway!  you could win a lovely pearl necklace for your mama {or yourself!}  offer ends tomorrow.

i’m feeling a little pressed for time when it comes to blogging these days.  if you’re missing me {ha!} you can find me spending what little internet time i do have on instagram and pinterest.

hello, friends!  happy friday. 

i’m hoping to provide you with “original” content next week.  until then, please enjoy these links!

*how much do you love this look/styling?  i know, me too.  and guess what?  i have a vintage faux fur jacket that is nearly identical to the one she is wearing.  interested?  i’m looking to sell it.  email me at barefootandvintage{at}gmail{dot}com if you want the deets!

*i am digging the great deals offered on brickyard buffalo!  low low prices {for a limited time} on handmade goods from small businesses – decor, accessories, paper goods, clothing, etc etc etc…i’m sort of in love with this arrow tote from eleventy-five.

*my friend stacey is so brilliant.  take a gander at this diy she threw together with a few thrift store finds.  {so cute!}

*want!

*pinterest faves:  style // eat // bedroom // diy 

this weekend is calling for a little relaxing, dinner + drinks with friends, a trip to the farmer’s market and a diy or two. 

have a good one!

this week’s pinterest faves

*i love this print.  sometimes you just gotta go for it, you know?
*we must do something with our bedroom – it’s blah.  mismatched/hand-me-down furniture, no character, no romance…all function, no fun.  i love this room:  white walls, wood flooring, the furniture…and that blanket! 
*obsessed over andrea’s hairstyle !  romantic and tough.  sign me up. 
*i don’t need these boots, but they are really amazing and i really want them. 

*neon friendship bracelets…love.

*engaged?  know someone who is?  enter the engagement session raffle over at gather west photography! 

*this snack looks delicious and oh so simple.  i love easy food. 

*btw…have you entered the gage huntley designs giveaway?  one lucky winner will get to choose a piece of jewelry from amanda’s shop – go enter!  also, she’s giving my friends/readers 25% off with code barefoot.  get it girl!

*lately, zoey has taken a strong interest in coloring {okay, scribbling} – yay!  and while i’m delighted that i may have a little budding artist, it drives me insane when she eats the crayons…gross.  after a little research {i didn’t have to go far – thanks bluum!}, i found these organic, eco-friendly, edible art supplies for babies & toddlers!  sidewalk chalk, paints, crayons…these are a must-have.  after i place an order and we give em a try, i promise to provide you with a little review.

hooray for the weekend and a long one at that! 

cheers, friends.

friday 2{image}

peace out, week.  {i love this photo – the styling, the colors…it’s absolutely perfect.}

anyway…happy friday, friends!  thought i’d share a few links:

*i started a new {group} board on pinterest – things moms lovecheck it out!  it could end up being a really good resource, with reviews of products and such.  if you’re a mommy and you’d like to join, let me know.  would love to have you!

*speaking of moms + kiddos… if you’re looking for a unique gift idea – maybe for a grandparent {or yourself!} – visit kidz can design.  cute concept!

*dying over this adorable sailor outfit

*just purchased this nail kit from julep!  looking forward to a much-needed girl’s night in – wine, appies, good conversation, fun nails, and my bestie.  can’t wait.

*rashida jones {girl crush alert!} - she’s gorgeous, has pretty hair, and is on one of my favorite shows.  i love this interview she did with dawn o’porter.  adorable!  {i really can’t get enough of the conversation.}

*sometimes fashion is rough and tough.  it’s gritty.  it’s hard-working.  it’s outdoorsy.  that being said, i’m totally smitten and pleasantly surprised with the carhartt women’s blog/line.  i say pleasantly surprised because, growing up, carhartt was mainly worn by the farm boys and the hunters.  not any more!  the women’s line is full of chambray, flannel, and cute jackets.  check out the blog for diy’s, style and interesting articles on chicks who get shit done.  also, if you have an interesting craft or trade…you could be featured on their blog! 

*this new to me blogger is pretty dang cute.  harvesting gold // sun spots

*cutest family, cutest photos

*just in time for vday!  decorate your desktop with these love inspired wallpapers.

and some thoughts:  i’m not sure about vine.  i’ve made a couple of videos, but…meh.  i simply cannot let myself get wrapped up in yet another social media app.  also, on style blogging – i’m loving it.  i can’t do it every day {timing, kids, etc}, but when i do have time…it’s been fun, i’ve missed it.  expect more!  and lastly, i’m thinking about going the ombre route with my hair…thoughts?  i like this

 okay…enjoy!  and have a lovely weekend.

1. we’re juicing! try this: beet, apple, pear, carrot, lemon and romaine lettuce.
2. i had the most delicious flatbread pizza for lunch – mushroom, caramelized onions, goat cheese and truffle oil. i may need to recreate this at home.
3. little wren got new shoes!
4. i tried something new with my nails. and guess what? it was something i pinned! i’m on a roll.

this week went by really fast!  so pumped for the weekend.  we’re celebrating a friend’s 40th tomorrow – sans kids!  that like, never happens.  wine, adults and…well…wine.  also, this week – taylor participated in his school’s geography bee – how cute is that?!  we weren’t allowed to attend, though…he says we’re embarrassing.  i’m bummed that we missed it, but secretly…i love being embarrassing. 

i don’t have any links to share this week, but if you don’t mind… please vote for me on the circle of mom’s top 25 fashion & beauty moms!   i dropped down to #26, so please help me out.  thanks!

happy weekending!

oh sweet friday // vol 38


1/2/3 – we had monday off!  zoey and i played for a bit, then went for a nice walk while mark watched football and taylor overdosed on video games.  {ps.  zoey thinks anything with fur and four legs is a dog.  she totally lost her mind over those dogs horses.}
4 – our latest obsession – candy cane oreos.  sweet jesus, they are delicious.  
   
5 – what i wore on thursday. 
6 – tis the season for egg nog. 

i haven’t shared my favorite links in a while, but i’m always lurking around the web – pinning recipes i’ll never make, lusting over boots i can’t afford and visiting my favorite bloggers.  here’s a roundup of {a few of} my most recent faves.  enjoy!

 *several months ago, i sent Amanda this vintage/80s/thrifted dress.  she styled it perfectly

*thanks to my friend ashley, i am now completely obsessed with this app.  come play with me!  username: redhedpixie

*i think it’s time for a cleanse.  i’ll be doing some research this weekend.  the most pressing concern:  will i be able to “juice” an oreo? 

*guilty.  but hilarious.  like…omgwhydidntithinkofthishilarious.

*how cool are these?

*i’m determined to make these delicious looking hand pies.  wish me luck. 

i must go now.  all of this blogging is getting in the way of playing word games on my phone. 

happy friday!

oh sweet friday // vol 37



skirt + vintage coach bag + scarf – thrift

first of all, what’s with zoey being a scene stealer in her neon bicycle shorts?  she needs to quit  photo bombing and get her own blog.

in other news…FRIDAY!  and a long weekend to boot.  what are your plans for this last hurrah of summer?  we’re going to a chili cook off/carnival, taking a trip to ikea {giddy!} and relaxin to the max.  i may try to squeeze in a mani/pedi, as well.  so have a good one!  but before you go, i’d like to share a few things…

moms, if you’re a fan of the peekaboo app series {we’re obsessed}, then check out the new version – peekaboo fridge!  it just came out today!  zoey is going to lose her mind. 

i’ve been a fan of meiko for several years, but lately, she’s my go to.  i just love her voice – it’s different.  take a listen

i want a pair of these in every color. 

diy leather belt curtain ties.  why am i never the genius who comes up with this stuff?! 

living in a teepee in a field/forest, while wearing a floral crown, while wearing overalls, while getting my face painted, while eating fish and chips, then bathing in a stream…never looked so freaking amazing.

adoring this – my better half.

i’ve been digging on some new {to me} blogs – avant blargh / quality rivets / what is reality anyway? / wolf&willow  {i’m almost always late to the who’s who of the blogging community, so you may already know about these ladies.}

ootd:
 
tshirt - nordstrom // skirt - vintage // sandals - zara // necklace - flea market // coach bag - vintage, thrift

cheers to friday!

i think?

i rec’d a call from zoey’s daycare around 2:30 – “hi, can you come get her?  she has a temperature of 102.” um…let me think about it…YES.  i’m not sure if she’s teething or if she caught a virus.  her temp came down a bit after a shot of medicine and a nap, but she’s still a little warm and just not…zoey.  thing is – i’m starting to feel a little under the weather, myself.  which cannot happen this weekend!  it’s the weekend before her 1st bday party – i have a shit ton of things to do!  fingers crossed i can talk my body out of getting sick.

have a happy {and healthy} weekend, friends!

{no links this week…sorry!}

currently…

loving :: vanessa jackman.

reading :: fifty shades freed. truthfully, i’m ready for it to be over. i really enjoyed the first book, as it was exciting and oh-so-sexy, but now…eh. i have so many books on my shelf, i think i’m just ready to move on to the next adventure.

watching :: project runway

thinking about :: making some changes to the blog…

anticipating :: our upcoming trip to chicago. my best friend is getting married! zoey is staying with grandma + grandpa while mommy + daddy paint the town red – two {kid free} nights in a row!

listening to :: npr. on the way to work – morning edition / on the way home – all things considered. obsessed.

working on :: planning zoey’s 1st birthday party! i don’t want to reveal too many details, as i plan to share photos in just a few short weeks, but i’ll give you a hint… we were inspired by ice cream! yum!

wishing :: that i could hop on a plane and visit one of my dearest friends. it’s been too long…

i’m so pumped that august is here!  we have a lot going on this month – zoey turns one, taylor will start 7th grade, mark and i are celebrating our one year anniversary and my bff is getting married…so much to celebrate and be thankful for.  hooray for august!
