Knitting // Pretty neon-tipped mittens from The Purl Bee.
Knitting & Crochet // I've had my eye on these beautiful knit collars for some time now. I love the pop of color from the neon crochet border. You can find the Ravelry pattern here.
Etsy // I love Faith's new color block hair bows in her Etsy shop, Ordinary Mommy. The mix of neons and neutrals is just so eye-catching!
Style // Speaking of eye-catching...I am a big fan of bright soles on neutral shoes. I love this hot pink pair of brogues from Topshop.
Art // This neon yellow ampersand from Ampersand Design Studio is just so simple and fun!
My mom and I did some pre-vacation shopping this week for things like travel size toothpaste and good walking shoes. I spotted a pair of similar neon oxfords like the ones above, but they didn't come in my size...and probably weren't the best walking shoes. Haha. So I've had neon on the brain. I really love the neutral and neon combination. It is really inspiring me to create something fun with yarn.
We are getting close to the big travel day. Does anyone else feel like the days leading up to a big vacation are some of the most stressful days ever? Maybe it's just me and my "worry wart" mentality. I have lots of blog writing, packing, and projects to finish before it is finally vacation time. I guess I should get back to it! I hope you are all having a lovely Sunday.
Did you do anything fun this weekend? Finish any big projects?
I did a london-paris trip last July and I had so much fun. The days leading up to the trip were stressful because I was so excited to go and I couldn't wait to get on the plane for my adventure.
ReplyDeleteWhy not get your london friends to write a few london inspired guest posts for you?? Seems like you are making things extra stressful for yourself ;)
ReplyDeleteI saw neon purple yarn at Michaels and I freaked out. It was so mesmerizing.
ReplyDeleteThose knit collars are super aodrable!
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel about the stress, bit I also feel the anticipation and thrill of getting new clothes and getting a new journal to write about my trips and to get the camera ready and the projects to keep me occupied during the journey. I am so excited for you. Try to relax and enjoy the days before you leave, or you'll completely stress out and not enjoy your trip and needs lots of aspirin for the headaches. Remember stress gives us wrinkles and grey hair....lol, and your too young and pretty to start down that path. Just ask your mother. I tell my daughters this all the time. I hope it works for them. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Misty and Pets.
Ooooh, I hope you do do some sort of neon/neutral project - that would be SO pretty!
ReplyDeleteBefore a vacation, I am just so anxious and excited, I can't sit still and than yes, I do get worried and stressed... Will I forget something important? Will we get there okay? Will our vacation be okay? Will getting back be okay? etc., etc. :P
I tend to be afraid to wear bright colors, but I'm loving all things neon with neutral right now. Totally honored to have my bows included with your other lovely finds! I'm sure your trip prep will all go smoothly in the end!
ReplyDeleteYes, I completely agree, the days leading up trips are very stressful. I'm leaving for Spain tomorrow and I'm freaking out! I still have so much to do. Can't wait to hear all about your trip!.
ReplyDeleteyou always find the best recipes, can't wait to try out those shortbread cookies <3
ReplyDeletethose shoes are awesome i must say! and yes those days leading up to traveling are stressful but the worst one is the night/day before. you start repacking and unpacking over and over and usually end up with more that u need.
