on my mind :: Five on Friday

I’m loving nude shoes these days and am dying for some nude ballet flats.

I’m still new to Polyvore, but I just found out that they have templates, photos, text and more to make your collage super cool!  I kept wondering how people made such pretty collages.  🙂

My Project Life 365 is still alive and well!  I missed one day so far (I think), one day I used a screen capture for my photo and some of my photos are WAY lame, but I’m still chugging along. Here’s my May round-up…

I need some inspiration to get me excited about eating healthy again.  I ran across this book recently…

It looks good from what I can tell online, but I want to get out to the bookstore soon and flip through it.  I’m a really picky eater so I like to browse and see if I can find a few recipes that I like immediately.  I hate buying a book and only finding 1-2 recipes that I’d actually make, so if I can’t find a few good ones while just browsing it, it’s likely not a good investment for me.

Anthropologie has some flippin’ adorable, i-don’t-need-them-but-desperately-want-them, glass drink ware for sale right now.  I am particularly fond of these little cuties…

I’ve been switching handbags a lot lately, but because I’m not super organized like this chick…I never have all the stuff I want/need.  I usually only grab my wallet/wristlet, my phone, a chapstick and my camera.  No bueno!  I really want to take the time and have a pretty organized back like this one.

April :: Project Life 365

Shew…made it another month without missing a day!

Project Life 365…here we go again!

I don’t know what it is about the 365 project that makes me insist on trying it again, even though I’ve failed the past two times.  Maybe it’s the desire to accomplish something so big…maybe it’s wanting to be a part of something…maybe it’s wanting to document daily life and this is a motivator to do that…maybe it’s me holding on to photography any way I know how.  Whatever it is, I’m diving in….

…again!

This time I’m following along with Project Life 365.  Project Life 365 is created by the team at Design Aglow.  They are going to have inspiration words for each day, they have a field guide for sale to get you started and free blog boards.  Each day you can share your daily photo with the PL365 community.  I’ll be sharing via Instagram and on my blog.

So far, I haven’t done anything inspiring, but here are my first 3 days…

I”m not making any promises on how far I’ll make it, but we’ll see.  I guess if 365 is too big of a commitment, there’s always 52 (one a week).  🙂
