I know it’s still technically summer, and I’m generally not one to rush into the colder months, but it felt like fall today in a way that sort of reassured me that everything is falling into place… well, hopefully.

DIY Lace Scrunchie Tutorial (Use Any Fabric!)
It seems as though scrunchies are pushing hard to make a comeback AND if you’re anything like me, you probably still have a few from the ’90s in an old box somewhere or shoved in the back of one of your hair accessory drawers in your bathroom… no? Then maybe your daughters are wearing them …
Sunday House Crush // Retro ’70s Time Capsule Cabin
Lately my Sunday House Crushes fall more into the quaint and quirky far-more-affordable-Airbnb-possibility than the incredible lakeside mansions I was falling for last year… and maybe if I delve into it a little bit deeper, it will give me a bigger glimpse at where my head is at… but until then, I’ll just keep it …
