Favorites of This Week [thus far!]

Happy Wednesday!

I've found the best way to keep a grateful mindset is to do inventory, and do it often -

that in mind, here are my favorites this week:

Cupcakes, from a lovely personal baker.

[Try your hand at Chocolate-Peanut Butter cupcakes with this recipe]

Lovely  art to look at while in traffic!

[Seeing this on my way to work inspired me to look up more street art - I found some amazing stuff at Street Art Utopia]

Tried coral, wasn't totally in love - but discovered violet!
Violet is definitely my Spring nail color this year.

[It's inspired me to try the gradient effect on my nails, but I'm hesitant because I can't get my head around how simple the instructions seem (it can't be that easy, can it?!)]

Dark chocolate with a kick? Adore.

[Reminded me of my favorite scenes from Chocolat]

DIY cutoff shorts - finally inspired to go for it this year ;)

[Refinery29 has some great tutorials Here]
[EDIT: Also loving the tutorial over at Cheap Chic Obsession]
