pretty things:

• Rebecca Thuss's illustration portfolio – I love the elegant, clean design of this site! It has just enough character to make it unique, but it isn’t overwhelming.
• Decor8’s mugs and books photo post. Gorgeous. Makes me feel all cozy and wintry.
• Daytum. Cute personal graphing site, love the infographics.

Have a lovely day!! Views brought to you courtesy of Portugal…can’t believe it’s already been so long since studying abroad!

“Ask any questions you want. Ask anyone you want. Do what you can with the answers.”

Bright kitchens, colorful workspaces, sunshine yellow scarves, floaty tops, watercolor paintings. Beating the winter blues with bright colors…perfect!

I have a bad habit and just dump all the photos I like into a folder and usually forget to save the credits…if this is yours and you want it removed, just let me know. Similarly, if you know who I can credit, let me know that as well!
