On the List

My previous series known as Any Given Wednesday has been officially renamed and moved to Saturdays! Putting together a list of my favorite blog posts that inspire me each week, was one of my favorite posts to create, and it seems that you all enjoyed this weekly dose of inspiration as well. So every Saturday you can check your inbox for my latest list of posts that I’m loving from some of my fellow bloggers. So don’t forget to subscribe either via email or through Bloglovin’.

• How much do you love the Cream Pantsuit that With Love From Kat is wearing? The fact that the trousers are cropped means they just might work out for those of us who are a bit ‘height challenged’.
• If you need a some serious inspiration for your Memorial Day plans, check out Camille Styles Beachy Memorial Day Dinner Party 
• I love a good home remodel, especially when it comes to the kitchen. Flourishing Foodie shares her before and after photos of her Kitchen Remodel. Oh, the wood floors! (That’s the one thing I wish we could have done in our recent remodel… but at least we have a gorgeous countertops and sink!)
• Carly the Prepster shares her Memorial Day Packing List with J Crew. I just adore the Drapey Spaghetti-Strap Dress she’s styling for the post! I also love this Chambray Wrap Dress

• These Lavender Cupcakes from How Sweet Eats look seriously decadent.
• Jennifer Lake of Style Charade shares her love of stripes in her post Palais Royal Stripe Column Blogger Paris Fashion Week. The Palais Royal is definitely on my list of must visit sites when I ever make it to Paris. Seriously, can I just snap my fingers and be in Paris right now?

• I love the feminine take on the classic trench coat that Emily of Cupcakes & Cashmere is styling in her post Pretty in Pink.
