Life Last Week: May 5, 2014.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!  Don't you hate that it's on a Monday?!

Glimpses.

{I heart Peony Season}

 {Mint Juleps on Derby Day!}

 {Thanks to the outdoor return of the Green City Market, our window herb garden is back in action}

{Playing around with crown braids using Brooke White's tutorial}

{Burger & shake date to Edzo's, a Chicago-area legend.  Did NOT disappoint!}

{Followed by a Joffrey Ballet date to see Romeo+Juliet.  Now thru next Sunday - highly recommend!}

New & Noteworthy.

Lonny Mag is back with a sleek new format!

I plan on making Clementine Daily's DIY Eucalyptus Room Spray this week.  It's my favorite soothing scent.

This Newport Beach Home Tour knocked me out.  Just the right amount of color + whimsy!  via Style Me Pretty

Also from Style Me Pretty: great Pre-Wedding Beauty Tips that can really apply to anyone at any time!

This New York Times interview with City Ballet choreographer Justin Peck and musician Sufjan Stevens on their recent collaborations was SO interesting.  Love getting a peek into their creative processes.

Have a wonderful week.
