Life Lately: Disneyland!

This week: Hiking to the Hollywood sign; and spending two days at DISNEYLAND! We found zebra print mouse ears (eek!), hung out by the pool, explored Sleeping Beauty's castle, consumed far too much coffee (when there are free refills, this girl's gonna drink!), went on roller coasters over and over and over, found the secret door, spun the teacups so quickly that we got dizzy, and enjoyed an amazing light show when the sun went down. 

Are you on Instagram too? Let's be friends! I'm @lesleymyrick.

Happy Friday!

Lovely Web Links: May 24, 2012

+ This advice to young designers is wonderful. A great read for anyone in a creative field - young or not-so young.

+ I love this colorful outfit! Also, Gwen Stafani's style rocks my socks.

+ Oh, funny cats. You kill me.

+ I want these metallic shoes.

+ Arrested Development fans - enjoy all the chicken dance sequences in one place. (I got Nate hooked on this show...we're currently watching through the entire series on Netflix!)

What links are you loving this week?

Happy Thursday!

Beauty Matters

[Artwork by Kelly Rae Roberts via Pinterest]

Hello friends! I'm back from my adventures in Disneyland. Can't wait to share photos with you on Friday! As I slowly adjust back to reality (wait, reality isn't riding rollercoasters all day?)I thought I'd leave you with this lovely collage from Kelly Rae.

It's true, by the way. Beauty does matter.

Happy Tuesday!

Life Lately: May 18, 2012

This week: hanging out with Nate's family on a cold beach in Malibu; enjoying a visit from Lisa; preparing for a week of AWESOME with Beth (she and her hubby arrive tomorrow, YAY!); figuring out this gorgeous song on piano and realllly wishing I had a piano of my own to play more; and making some minor aesthetic tweaks to my blog layout (there are five - see if you can spot them!).

Apparently I didn't photograph much of my week - I will do my darndest to be more camera-happy next week. (And even if I don't, I know Beth sure will!) We'll be hiking to the Hollywood sign, spending a couple of days in Disneyland, going to a Dodger's game, and checking out the famed Santa Monica pier. 

Have a lovely weekend!

Lovely Web Links: May 17, 2012

+ The best grey paint colors, according to Ryan Gosling. (Who wouldn't want his input when painting a room? This guide would've been super helpful about a year ago, when Nate and I tried to paint our bedroom grey and ended up with lavender. Ugh.) 

+ Elsie shares great (and creative!) tips for getting organized. 

+ I love Lisa Congdon's 365 Days of Hand Lettering project. This one is particularly lovely. 

+ How to turn your blog into a brand. Great advice from Bri! 

+ Rubber stamp crazy! 

+ Graphic design resources (I love that they're not afraid to spill their secrets!) from a couple of the most talented ladies in the biz. 

How is your week? Come across anything interestawesome? (That was supposed to be a combination of interesting and awesome. It did not work, and is neither interesting or awesome.)

Happy Thursday!
