Weekend Getaway + Friday Links

Today I am off to Kansas City to spend the weekend with Lindsay of Sadie & Stella.  We're planning to go to the OU vs. Kansas game tomorrow (Go Sooners!) and enjoy some much-needed girl time.  Before I sign off, I did want to leave you with some of my favorite links I came across online and in the blogosphere this week:

-I had a lovely time speaking alongside Paloma of La Dolce Vita, Meg of Lesueur Interiors, Lauren Haskett of Material Girls, and Sarah Eilers of Lucas-Eilers Design Associates at the Decorative Center of Houston's Fall Market.  Leslie Carothers curated the panel, and we discussed the role of social media in today's design world.  It was a great experience, and Meg snagged a photo of us, which I shared here: here. I hope to share the highlights of our talk in a blog post, soon!                                                    

-This article on Huffington Post cracked me up and basically broke down everything we all love to hate about fellow Facebookers' status updates.  Want to be insufferable on FB?  This will tell you how.

-The One Room Challenge is back, and I'm loving Gaby's brass details in her bath. 

-Scientific research has proven this small task can significantly increase your level of happiness.  The video is worth watching- it gave me chills!

-Coco+Kelley inspired me with her blog post on black walls & pink blooms, including the picture from Domino Magazine above.  Such a beautiful color and texture contrast.

-Bradley of Luella & June shared a few snapshots from her Rehearsal Dinner, and it was nothing short of chic! (what else would we expect from her?!)

Have a fab weekend lovelies!  I am sure Linds and I will post a few instagram updates this weekend, so feel free to follow along!  

XOXO, Sam
