1. This week I am loving these gorgeous collages by Beth Hoeckel. They're pretty sublime, no? (via The House That Lars Built)
2. The Holiday Collection from J.Crew is pretty much perfect to me. It's colorful, full of patterns and has plenty of RED. in love!
3. While I'm on the topic of fashion, I've fallen hard for this collection by Charlotte Taylor. The prints are incredible. I think I love the second look most of all. Magic!
4. I love this photo of Doe Deere. This is the hair color Emma tried to get for our wedding. It's the perfect shade of blue... Dontcha think?
5. When I saw this Paper-Chain Treasure-Hunt Advent Calender idea I was in love! What a perfectly special way to celebrate the Holiday month with family!
6. I'm loving this photo! The vibe is perfect. I have little fantasies about having a camper in my backyard someday with bonfires, smores and a clothes line to dry all my projects on. (image from Emporium magazine)
7. Have you seen Ruche's Homemade Holiday Guide yet? It's incredibly beautiful and filled with Holiday inspiration! We contributed our Red Velvet Cupcake recipe! There are ornaments, gift wrap ideas, decoration DIYs and more. Take a peek!
8. I'm crazy in love with this photo! I really want to do a pug photo shoot with my sister someday. Pugs make life wonderful! (Photo via Marie Claire Australia)
9. I haven't been crazy for a pair of Toms shoes in a couple years. When I saw these, all that changed. They're on my must have list for 2012.
10. I was inspired by the idea of a shiny alphabet by Aesthetic Outbust and I immediately ran out to buy some silver pipe cleaners for gift wrapping this season. So sweet!
Well, that's a little dose of pretty that's been inspiring me this week! For more things I love on a daily basis, follow me on Pinterest! Hope your Sunday is lovelyyyy. elsie
That blue dye is really easy to re-create if you use the right colour and tone your hair properly beforehand. It needs to be nearly white first or it'll turn greenish (like her tips, you can see where the bleach didn't take as well and she didn't tone it out).

Wow! I think you just gave me a bunch of new ideas for outfits with the holiday post from J.Crew! Those sparkly red pants are awesome. Power pants, those are. :) And Homemade Holiday Guide is fantastic. SO MUCH BETTER than just running out and buying every single little thing.

I love these lists! I never expect them and then they're a lovely surprise. Because Sunday is so quiet in blog land.

I love your blog so much Elsie!
The collar on the dress you're wearing is amazing, did it come that way or is the collar detachable?

Sarah, it came that way. It's the dress I wore in my brother's wedding. It's from ModCloth.

Editing portions out of comments is classy, Elsie. God forbid anything undignified yet truthful be said about someone whose hair you'd like to replicate.
