One of my favorite weekend activities is attending flea markets.  Denver has a bunch of them and they're all amazing: gourmet food trucks, craft breweries, and local artisans come together to share their goodies and as a result it's a kick ass way to spend a beautiful Denver day.  This past weekend I headed to the Denver Flea with a friend.  With a free New Belgium beer in hand, we checked out each vendor.  It was difficult not to spend all my money on pretty jewelry, gorgeous textiles, boozy jams (that's totally a thing here), and homemade hot sauces.  I did end up bringing home a pair of earrings from Blade & Knoll, a locally designed jewelry line.  I love their geometric pieces that are simple enough for day-to-day wear.  Plus they are really affordable. I'll be keeping my eye on them and hopefully adding more beautiful pieces to my jewelry collection.  If you live in the Denver area, you can find their jewelry at several local boutiques.  If you live out of state, check out their online shop.  Check out a few of my favorite pieces from their collection:

Moving into a new space pretty much means that I obsessively look through design blogs to find inspiration for how to decorate and organize.  It's also a great way to procrastinate (ugh biostats, don't even want to touch you with a ten foot pole).  Recently I stumbled on a house tour from Design*Sponge and I was floored by the living room.  The art! The textiles! So many colors! Check it out below:

I spotted this amazing home on THE STYLE FILES and I just had to share it with you.  It's an absolute stunner.  I love the mix of textiles, the clean lines, and the simple style.  Plus, it looks like such a relaxing space.  I adore the colorful tiles around the fireplace.  I would spend all weekend curled up in that bed with a book.  Brunches at breakfast nook? Pure perfection.  I'm also head over heels in love with the tiny vanity in the bathroom.  You should take a peek at this dreamy home and check out the full post here.

In the process of moving, I realized that the only magnets I had for our fridge were LOLCATZ poetry magnets.  Hilarious, but not practical for actually keeping things on the fridge.  Since our apartment is cozy (i.e. small) we try to utilize all space options.  We have hook magnets on the side of the fridge for my apron and oven mitts. In addition to a few clip magnets, I wanted something that had personality but that was also strong enough to hold up concert tickets, bills, and other important pieces of paper (so they don't get lost on the counter).  Enter Social Print Studio: a fantastic company that turns your instagram pictures into magnets, greeting cards, stickers, and art.  BRILLIANT.  I logged into my instagram account on their website, chose the product I wanted to make (square magnets), and picked a few of my favorite pictures.  It was so easy! Plus their prices are pretty reasonable.  I know where I'll be going to buy personalized Christmas gifts for all my loved ones.
