Weekend Inspiration + Fun Links for Your Weekend

(photo source unknown)

"I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it." ~ Audrey Hepburn

I'm learning in baby steps to live for this day alone. Its a gift that could easily be wasted by looking to the past or the future. Its not easy but it sure makes for a better recipe of happiness.
The cool weather hit Atlanta this week so we are heading up to the mountains this weekend for some fall weather fun. Wishing you all a beautiful weekend!
Love, Anna


Fun Links for your Weekend:

Mara interviewed a J.Crew personal stylist and shares some great styling tips.

These colorful jewelry knobs are a fun and easy DIY to jazz up a room, and this new line of jewelry baubles would be perfect for hanging on them.

Megan hosted an end of summer soiree and I am wishing I was her neighbor. Its unreal.

A new blog to watch: West Hawthorne Place. I keep going back for more.

Liz shared some fantastic ways to wear a leather jacket.

Emerson Fry's Fall Collection is Ridiculous. Can't handle how good it is.

This movie trailer brought tears to my eyes. Can't wait to see the whole film.

    Audrey Hepburn was a very wise and amazing lady! I think we could all do well to follow this bit of wisdom.

    Have a lovely weekend Anna!

    I love the bright jewelry knobs. I've been looking to make something like that for my baubles too. I love using jewelry as art. You wear it more when you can see it. :)
