Miscellany for your Weekend :: the August Break edition // Nº 035

T-minus 9+ hours . . . and counting.

The August Break is upon me.
It’s hard to believe that the summer is almost over.
And that my break is here.

To be honest, I’m really going to miss you all. And this space. My digital home.
The place I go to express my thoughts, my dreams, my fears. And to connect with all of you amazing, inspiring, like-minded friends + family.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to create for you here. And for respecting my time away.
Thank you for showing up, with your whole self, and being a part of what I’m creating here. For you. For me. For all of us.

I’m sending you so much love + loads of wishes for an amazing month of August!
Catch you on the flipside . . .

P.S. If you’re wondering where you can find me during the break, as I post my weekly photographs, I’ll be on Instagram + Flickr.
 

THIS WEEK’s MISCELLANY

How have I never heard of this before? It sounds like a fun idea. Anyone in?

Peaches + Summer + Tarts. They just go together.

This book, will be mine.

A beautifully crafted itinerary for a weekend jaunt to Santa Barbara. I plan on doing this at some point during my August Break.

#1 pretty much describes me + my love. I’m the middle girl. He’s the edges.

What this kid said . . .

Looking to ditch sugar? I highly recommend my friend Catherine’s FREE guided sugar cleanse. I did it and it worked wonders.

My new favorite productivity tool.

In love with white collared tops + dresses right now. The red one here is perfection!

A couple with a sense of humor + who want to turn the table on their celebrity. Awesome!

Macro beauty. I might just play around with macro photos on my August Break.

This post is going to be a super handy guide on my break. Decluttering is on my agenda.

This kid. Just want to *squeeze* him!

I simply must learn how to make this. Anyone have an elderflower bush nearby?

If you’re a health-nut like me and have tried just about every diet out there (but are still not feeling 100%), check out this woman’s work. It’s great + something every woman needs to know more about.

Ever worry about being pigeonholed? I do. Kate has some wise words about it.

Looking for some new fonts for your blog or other digital creations? Peep this (the whole entire site/blog is amazeballs).

Doing some interesting research for The Birthday Month Experience. And found this. Lots of interesting responses.

One of my favorite ladies + bloggers on the planet, got interviewed. I just adore her, so had to share it. Sidenote: she was the woman who sparked my desire to start this blog.

I got to try this patisserie on my last trip to SF. It is officially my favorite bakery in the world (so far).

I’m not sure how to use it properly, but “on the huh” is my new favorite phrase.

A powerful post about creativity + downtime + sacred space. A perfect way to start my 31 day digital break.

	A brilliant idea for a soon-to-be documentary exploring masculinity. A very important film about an overlooked subject in our culture.

	As my love can attest, I’m a bit obsessed with trophies. I never actually had one of my own, so growing up I’d collect other people’s trophies from garage sales and yard sales. I know, it’s kinda sad. Until now. I can finally score my very own trophy (a well designed one at that)!
