These are just a few of the things that I've been thinking about, reading or doing lately. Just a little bit of me!
♥ Loft Apartments ~ I've been really into apartment lofts recently. I just really like the idea of living in a place with hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows and an open top area.
The idea of long, dangling light fixtures, an open floor plan and even a bit of an industrial look with sleek furniture really inspires me.
What do you think of loft apartments?
♥ Style A to Zoe ~ As I mentioned in this inspiring style post, I recently started reading Rachel Zoe's book. I've heard really good things about it and kind of felt like it was great reading for the summer.
So far I am enjoying her style tips and the nice photos that she includes of the people she's dressed. The titles of her chapters and sections are cute too. I'll let you know my overall opinion when I'm finished.
♥ Blogger Meet-ups ~ One of the best things about being a blogger is freely sharing your thoughts about whatever through your blog.
Another great thing is meeting the people who you've developed an online relationship with and then freely sharing your thoughts in person!
So it's been really nice getting to meet so many great fashion and style bloggers recently including Jamie of Glam Latte, Mel of Modanista Junkie, Ria of Ria Michelle, Dany of Loves Pretty Things and Mandy of Kini Style Files.
♥ Vacation Planning ~ Since it's the summer time, it makes perfect sense that I've had vacation planning on the brain. I would love to take a road trip to Vegas or even a week-long excursion all the way to San Francisco (could be perfect for another meet-up).
And I haven't been to New York in a while so I would love to go shopping in NYC and even take in a Broadway show. It would be great to get out of this desert heat. Also, I'm feeling a bit homesick so it would be nice to go back to south Florida for a vacay to see some family and friends.
Are you in the mood for a vacation?
♥ Tom Foolery ~ If you follow me on Twitter (and you should) then you might know that I have my eyes on Toms Shoes. And now that they've incorporated sunnies into the mix, I might as well get a pair of those too. I just don't know what to pick from the wonderful collection. Maybe you can help me decide!
Ah, I love the first image - such a spacious kitchen. Glad to hear you had fun with the girls at the blogger meet-up. A trip to the Caribbean is on the agenda this summer;-)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute little post! I'm obsessed with home tours and those loft apartments look dreamy... I would love one of those. They are so open & airy. Those Toms wedges are super cute!
ReplyDeleteOh girl, I am obsessed with Tom's too!!!! My shopping ban is HOVAH- so I'm really excited to finally pick ones out!!! :D happy dance!
ReplyDeleteVacation is in my thoughts but sadly can not be my reality...I took one too many during winter and now I am stuck in NY for the summer it seems. Poor planning on my part.
Those Toms shoes are awesome - no wonder you're eyeing them! And I would kill for any of those lofts, they look so amazing.

ReplyDeleteOOHHH I LOVE loft style apartments! Unfortuantly we don't have those anywhere near where I live but if we did I would love to live in one...they are so stylish and cool!
ReplyDeleteI wish I lived driving distance to Vegas! That would be awesome...and dangerous!! :)
I spend WAY to much money when I go to Vegas!
you have such great style :)
ReplyDeleteI love Tom's wedges, It's so wonderful to meet bloggers that you respect and have been chatting with through the blogosphere. You all look lovely! -xx

Great muses! I love the industrial look of lofty as well. We currently have a "soft loft" and I love the cement posts, ceiling, and exposed duct work. Hope you get to go on a trip soon! I don't think I will be able to take a vacay until the winter. Boo. :P
ReplyDeletei love the idea of having a loft!
ReplyDeleteLots of plans love, I'm sure you keep seeing snippets of it on twitter :D
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love the idea of living in a loft! Tres chic :D

I love my cozy apartment! It's so fun living in a mini-home! The book by Rachel Zoe is really good! I read it a few months ago and I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI love lofts and can't wait to move into one this fall, when I move to Brooklyn. So exciting!
ReplyDeleteThis summer I am all about pushing more boundaries with my style and getting back into my love of photography and finishing the book I am working on.
I have to get into more blogger meetups. I would love to meet more people in the blogosphere.

I SO wish I had lived in a loft apartment in my single days!
ReplyDeleteblogger meet-ups are just amazing!
ReplyDeleteloft apartments are the best!
I love loft apartments. My best friend Jonny used to have one downtown before he moved to Branson. It was gorgeous. High ceilings, cement floor, elevator shaft, etc. It actually used to be a factory, so it had all sorts of quirks! I would love to live in one...
ReplyDeleteI think this post is fabulous...and no not just because I'm in it...because Mel's in it too! Hahaha! No but seriously we LOVED meeting you and hope we can hang out again soon! Keep us posted on all your summer adventures!

ReplyDeleteI want to start reading Something Borrowed...it just became a movie in theaters but the writer has a great books I'd like to read.
Oh how I love loft apartments! There's something so comfortable and inspiring being surrounded by a large, open space! And I didn't realize Toms released sunnies! I'll have to check them out :)

I love apartment lofts!! I think they are so cozy and comfortable. I think I'd like to live in one once I move to the city (which is, er, a long way from now haha).
ReplyDeleteLove the "Tom Foolery" title. I am normally not a fan of Toms shoes but I really like the Tom heels you posted! Really cute. :)
It's great to hear what you are up to once in a while, Cheryl. :)
