...this & that... Thursday.

Wow!  It's been a few days since I've done a ...this & that... Thursday with my favorites from my week.  You see I'm pretty far behind in reading my blogs, responding to comments, and commenting on all of the wonderful blogs that I follow.  Don't get me wrong, I definitely make time to read you - well read you via email if that option is on your blog.  I probably get about 20 posts via email per day and love it!  So,  I do read my faves...if you have that option {hint, hint}.  This is a fabulous little treat for each of our followers. 

Michelle over The Vintage Apple and I have the same taste in clothes.  I know this because she has a fabulous post on Closet Staples and I seriously want one of each.  Seriously.  Fashion Fairy where are you?  I hope your reading this and definitely "click" on the link to Michelle's blog to check out the outfits.  Love them!

Ok, this is purely random.  I'm in love with this bouquet from The Wedding Chicks blog and the July 13th, 2011 post.  Seriously, I'm in love.  I didn't realize roses could look like this (or color) and I'm not quite sure their real...  What do you think?  I love the "pop" of color.  And because close friends and family read this blog let me point out that I frequent several wedding blogs for no particular reason.  Absolutely fabulous!  I'd love to have this bouquet on my kitchen counter right now.  Hmmm...

A very special "thank you" to Cassie over at {Hi Sugarplum!} for showcasing this fabulous morsel here.  This is a must see!  I have serious home envy.  Don't get me wrong I love how my place is decorated and Bern's (contemporary) however, Shelli over at a la mode has a fabulously decorated home.  It's not contemporary in any way and I'm in love!  I'm crushing over it.  Seriously, I am.  I love all of it.  I especially like her office and a few other rooms.  Check it out and let me know what you think. 

I thoroughly enjoy reading Cassie's blog, {Hi Sugarplum!}.  Seriously, I do.  I've subscribe by email  to her blog and the posts magically appear in my email (I know this isn't magic but, there little presents for me to read when I have time) and I love it when I get to "click" open and get a fabulous post.  Two posts that I really enjoyed just recently are here and here.  Both of these posts are Q&A to here most recent trip to Europe with her hubby and I love the questions (the one's "her" blog follower's asked) and she answered.  And I'm especially enamored with "how" she packed and "what" she packed for a 9-day trip to Europe...let me just say amazing!  It definitely is much better than my 62 pounds (for 1 bag mind you and never, ever again, ever).  Note:  Cassie and her hubby each take 1 small rolling suitcase, hubby takes a small backpack, and Cassie has a cross-body purse (very smart).  I'm seriously in love with reading this post and their travel tips or rather in my opinion their travel strategy and packing.  Love it!  Plus, the way she blogs about their trips and her tidbits of information and the tips are fabulous!  A must for each of you to check out.  Ok, hurry about and head over.  Again, you can click here and here for the 2 posts I'm drooling over.  Also, here's the main link to Cassie's blog {Hi Sugarplum!}.  Enjoy...I do.

Have an absolutely fabulous day!
