It's time for some spring cleaning whether spring actually wants to come along or not. Everything from my baseboards to my computer need a little refresh. Design Love Fest has a great series called Dress Your Tech (sample above) with beautiful backgrounds for your desktop and your iPhones. I highly recommend checking in regularly for pretty wallpapers to freshen up a space you stare at all day anyway. Anyway, I'm going to spend my weekend buying furniture, reading a stack of magazines I've let sit around for far too long and experiment with making bread for the first time!

White blazers for Spring! Spring. Hahahahahahaha.
Have a wonderful weekend, lovahs. For those of you in warmer weather - I'm jealous. Send DC some of your sun, please! I don't understand a single word of French but I really love Carla Bruni's voice and music in general. Plus, it's great cooking and chilling out music for the weekend!
