headboard love

I'd really like to have a headboard for my dear bed, but all of the ones I like tend to be slightly out of my budget.

This headboard has me wondering if it's really DIY, or if I'd wind up feeling the way I do when I try to make one of Martha's DIY projects (a jigsaw...?).

It's so cute and doesn't look that that difficult. At the very least, I know I could handle writing love on it...

Is it too beachy for my abode?

Does anyone else think this dress is basically perfect for Valentine's Day? I don't normally like one strap dresses and even I'm taken aback. Stunning.

Dear Friends,

Whichever one of you gets married next will be receiving this decanter set. Because I am kind of obsessed.

You lucky duck! 

You're welcome,

Whitney

Thanks to bleubird vintage for featuring this loveliness.

when life hands you lemons...

Yesterday was unusually gloomy and I found myself in need of a little pick me up.

I saw this Martha Stewart recipe for Lemon Meringue Cupcakes on Cupcakes and Cashmere and decided it was the perfect evening project.

The lemon tastes summery and they are incredibly moist and delicious (if I do say so myself).  My apartment also smelled amazingly fresh and happy - mission accomplished!

PS: In case you're going to try them, I replaced the buttermilk with nonfat yogurt to make them a little bit healthier.
