Dog Days 2013

Over the weekend Bella and I went to Thanksgiving Point for their second annual Dog Days. It was one of the most entertaining and hilarious things I’ve seen in such a long time. So many overzealous pet parents trying to give their canine children an unparalleled, stimulating experience. I’m absolutely not judging since I was just as eager to get Bella to the front of the line for the doggie obstacle course; but it was so wonderfully hilarious to see one pet parent scolding another or viciously protecting their baby from getting pinned down. 
All in all, the gardens were beautiful and the temperature was perfect. And best of all? I got countless precious pictures of my pretty pup!

Life Lately

Happy middle of the week! I’m loving that we are smack in the middle of autumn now. Although I’ve been suffering through 65 degree weather (bring on the snow!), it’s been wonderfully pleasant. Those leaves are stunning, no? B and I have been on countless jogs up the canyon to enjoy the bright colors. Well, Bella just loves being outside no matter what it looks like, so the jogs were more or less so I can prepare for the impending candy fest next week. 
We attended Dog Days at Thanksgiving Point on Saturday! Stay tuned for the detailed story tomorrow!
P.S. I was proud that I changed my Instagram profile picture. Over a year later. Woo!

Around the Web

Browsing various websites for new products is one of my absolute (and sloth promoting) activities. Sitting in a warm blanket while browsing for new ideas and good reads is always at the top of my list. These have been my favorite places to stop this week. Some shopping and pretty pictures: what’s not to adore?

1. My favorite stationary stop has recently offered free wallpaper and background images!
2. Seven new exhibitions spotlighting Vogue photographers, including Demarchelier and Leibovitz.
3. An adorable site featuring custom blog design, prints and even pencils.
4. Decor inspiration from Pottery Barn, featuring discounted pillar candles!
5. My favorite of the week: A perfectly curated shop featuring exclusive French-inspired products. I absolutely must have that suitcase.

Have fun exploring these sites – hopefully they’ll offer a bit of inspiration!
