the random files {12 things that make me smile}

bonjour, bonjour!!!

finally...

happy friday!!!

what was supposed to be a short week 

has felt like an eternity for me...

so, let me tell you, i am soooooooooooooooo

happy to finally approach the weekend!

are you ready? what do you have planned this weekend?

i will be laying {very} low...

just going out with the girls for lunch to celebrate 

one of my best friend's birthday,

then {finally} taking time to organize myself for 2012...

i know, i know... i am a little late on this...

but the holidays were crazy & then my mom was in town,

so this is my first weekend to buckle down!

okay, enough of those rambles...

& on to pretty stuff!

that's just what i have for you today...

no theme, really ~ just a lot of random gorgeousness!

i just needed a board of lovely things that make me smile,

as it's been a mostly rough week...

i hope it makes you smile, too :)

also, make sure to take a peek over at the lovely alexa's & kirby's blog,

the short & sweet of it

where i am guest posting about what i am most looking forward to in 2012!

{you know...stuff like getting married, honeymooning, getting in shape...}

we would love for you to stop by!!!
especially if you don't already know these two...
they are worth getting to know!
they are simply the sweetest blogging dynamic duo :)

1// raspberry candies ~ are you familiar with these hard french candies that come in a little tin? they are true   nostalgia for me...my childhood best friend & i would love going to cost plus {now world market} with her mom where it was a tradition to stock up at the bangles bar & on these french candies :) {these newspaper wrapped ones are adorable diy wedding favors!}

2// just loved these simple paint strokes

3// today is brought to you by the letter B...for brynn {that's me!}

4// i have this gold glitter nail polish on now, just over clear polish...but i love the white nails with the gold!

5// hello, gorgeous bedroom...i am dreaming of you...but i really wish i was dreaming in you :)

6// wishing for gorgeous peonies right now! 

7// sequin anything makes my heart beat just a little faster...especially love this dress

8// satsumas are a winter staple in our house...just can't get enough!

9// #1 - gold glitter & #2 - lovely typography > 'nough said {found here}

10// hot pink staircase ~ when my mom was visiting, she pointed out how much pink i have in my home and referred back to this post a while back where i spoke of not being so much of a "fan" of pink {unless done right, which is still true}...i truly did have a bit of a phobia at that time, but i am happy to say that i have most definitely overcome that...so, go ahead...bring the pink on!!!

11// okay, would totally be breaking my 2012 health regime...but wouldn't it kind of be worth it for this beautiful cupcake??!!

12// blush pink + jade green = scrumptious!
