Monday Likes&Loves

It seems to be incredibly easy to complain on Mondays about how the weekend is over and how none of us want to go to work, BUT wouldn't it be so much better to start off the week with a few positive things on your mind? Here are some of my favorite things/events/activities/etc that I encountered this weekend. Enjoy...

I finished the first book in The Hunger Games Series, and I loved it! I just started reading the second book... Hooray for new books!

I've been lusting over this shade of purple/grey for a while now. It's called Grey Area. Love.

This gold leaf brooch is definitely making its way into my fall wardrobe this season, and I can't wait!

My dad plants flowers, and they grow. He plants random vegetables, and they grow. As did this nice and round pumpkin. It's beginning to feel A LOT like fall!

Lastly, here is a vintage Gucci purse. You could say that I sort of inherited it. I absolutely love it! It's wonderfully practical. Though you can't tell from this image, it is a well-sized structured square purse in a fab shade of brown. Notice the Brown Derby matches? They were inside the purse when I opened it! When I think of The Brown Derby, I automatically think of the I Love Lucy episode where Lucy dines there with Fred and Ethel, but runs into a waiter who drops a ton of food on a celebrity (I think it's William Holden) and runs out of the restaurant embarrassed. Then, Ricky unknowingly invites that same celebrity to their hotel, so Lucy uses some sort of putty to make her nose look larger, and lights the tip of it on fire while trying to light her cigarette. Have I mentioned that I also LOVE watching I  Love Lucy? 

These five things made my weekend wonderful. How was your weekend?
