our day is super gloomy outside so these images seem to brighten my day!!  stay dry out there!!

i am so sorry for being away for so long!!  my entire family got taken down with the sick bug last week and we were just worthless!!  needless to say, we are feeling much better and i'm thankful to finally be able to eat and drink a cup of tea again!!  hope your monday is starting off right!!  and for everyone in the northeast, i hope the snow has let up and starting melting...think of y'all!!

my week's been stressful and i'm ready to CHILL OUT.....  this seems quite fitting right now :)

tonight, we are hanging out w/ good friends and i think this guy would be fun to take over to their house...i love a good cheese plate!!

another thing i want to do this weekend is go buy cheap beauty products....i have pinned all of these "great lipsticks" and everytime i'm in target or a drug store, i cannot find them.....any pointers?  anyone found these?

while i'm buying cheap beauty products, i think i need to make my bathroom cabinet look like this...seems simple enough.  if i could only keep it like this! 

and i wish i could do my hair like this...they call it an ombre bun...but that's just fancy for "letting your roots grow out", right (mission accomplished here)!!

as for the rest of the weekend, i plan on haning out w/ my fam....b/c i love those people.  

i hope y'all have a nice, chill weekend!!  xo- pink wallpaper

i need a calming factor this monday morning....avett brothers, coffee, and a pale blush color palette is doing a decent job.   

we've decided to sell our house and so getting it ready has been chaotic.  if you happen to know anyone looking for a house in columbia, sc, please email me and I'll be happy to send them a link :)  shannon@shannondarbydesign.com!!  Hope y'all have a very happy monday.  

 good morning!!  happy MLK day!  i hope everyone is able to enjoy this holiday at home!!  if you're luck enough to have it off, run don't walk, and go and see silver linings playbook.  it is seriously the best movie i have seen in a long time!!  maybe it was b/c we NEVER get to go to the movies and so when we do it's a treat or maybe it was b/c we got to drink a bottle of wine in the movie theater we went to.....either way, it's a great flick (one worth paying a babysitter for)!!  happy monday!!
