fabby friday.

Y'all. I'm getting married in less than 20 days. WHAT.
Leave it to me to choose the most stressful time of year to tie the knot. Ha!

A few things keeping me sane (plus my friends, fiance, family, etc. You guys are the bomb dot com.):

A new trend I could totally get behind that Peter would likely never allow me to get behind.

REAL LIFE HOGWARTS. I can't even.

I don't know where they got their cookie butter, but I feel some Trader Joe's cookie butter pancakes coming on!

The Secret Life of Passwords - great read!

A very interesting article highlighting a (tragic) phenomenon among Christians called, "Moralistic Therapeutic Deism".


I'm going to see The Nutcracker ballet tonight and pretend it's Christmas-y weather outside instead of a high of 72*. What are your weekend plans??

"When did we forget that we are human beings, not human doings?"

I know I am totally late to this bandwagon, but if you're not listening to the Serial podcast, you're doing it wrong.

The Theory of Everything, which I saw over Thanksgiving weekend and can't quit thinking about.

This. Is. Awesome. I love Top 40 hits, y'all.

The 2015 Pantone Color of the Year! I am totally on board.


You'll have to forgive my relative silence over the next few weeks. The holidays + moving + planning a wedding are taking up quite a bit of my time if you can imagine that!

Mmm! Happy day after Thanksgiving! I hope yours was full of family and food like mine was.
Colorado has long been my happy place and this trip has been no different!
Enjoy some link love and try not to punch anyone over that thing you must have on Black Friday.

This story (+ short video) of a sweet Pittsburgh detective is utterly heart-warming.

Kinfolk has guides for lots of cities around the world.
Planning a trip? Check here first for the best places to eat, drink, and visit!
So glad I found this before my trip to Seattle/Portland next summer!

This planner! I want! It would be the perfect accompaniment to me getting rid of my smart phone which is something I have been seriously, actually contemplating.

On that same note, the coolest girl you know probably uses a flip phone. Hilarious read.

This is of course overpriced because it's Anthropologie, but that doesn't mean I don't LOVE it and want all my gifts wrapped in this.

Just...so perfect.

Are you a Black Friday participant?

I enjoy it from the comfort of my own home with a computer in my lap.

Happy Friday! I hope y'all have a fabby weekend.
This week has been nuts and I expect that's how they'll all be until the wedding!
Sorry for the lack of posts. Hopefully, I'll be able to get some more cranked out over the next few weeks. For now, some links:

The sort of friendship I yearn for

Hah! Portrait of a dog.

It's like someone read my mind. The 10 Best Restaurants in the Bishop Arts District.

Image inspired by this article - The Cult of Busy.

I just love that last article. It's really very interesting.

In the grand scheme of things, we choose how we spend our time. We choose to make ourselves busy or not. Which are you going to choose?

Every other blogger does this, so why not me?
(In all honesty, I've just been reading some great things lately. Maybe this will become a thing. There you have it.)

I've been saying this for years. Taylor Swift is becoming my spirit animal and I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FEEL ABOUT IT.

If my heart were an article, it would probably read something like this.
Or this, which is a much more serious article shedding light on human trafficking in India. Vote for the story to give the journalist more access to bring this issue to light.

And if my heart were a graphic, it would definitely be this:

Happy Friday!

I have a hot date planned for my man tonight and he has no idea what we're doing! ;)

What are your plans??
