[friday favorites] link love

This weekend is filled with plans for brunches, birthday celebrations & welcoming this new beauty into my closet.

Have you heard about Swirl? Sequins & Stripes has got the 411 on this amazing new website.

Looking for that perfect fall cocktail this weekend? Style Within Reach has you covered with a simple recipe for spiked cider.

Tired of hitting the cobbler every other week to reconstruct your favorite stilettos? A Simple Affair has the 411 on the perfection solution.

Had dreams about this stunner last night. That's reason enough to purchase. Right?

Thanks to Emily, I'll be chowing down on Balthazar's french onion soup this evening. Is there anything better?

Have an amazingly wonderful weekend, my loves. & stay beautiful, inside & out.

regularly scheduled programming

There has been a lot of new-ness over here within the past few weeks: a new pup, a new job, & a new apartment. To add to the list, I've been toying with the idea of a new post format & content which you may have witnessed in the recent weeks. & while this new-ness & change in life has been wonderful & welcomed, not all change is good. So, my dearest readers, starting tomorrow we are going back to regularly scheduled programming blogging // beginning with a [friday favorites]. Can I get a "heck yes!"? Thank you for all of your support, constructive feedback, & for continuing to visit District Sparkle!

As for today, I'm leaving you with a little home decor inspiration. For snapshots of the new place be sure to follow along on Instagram.

A cool 60 degrees was the perfect way to start a week that will end up-north in a cabin celebrating the beginning of fall. I've got my plaid shirts, toasty socks, plenty of infinity scarves & a ridiculous amount of sparkle to ring in my favorite season the right way. My little guy & I are ready for a much needed wilderness vacation!

Thank you to everyone that enter the exclusive Gigee Marie giveaway & congrats, Amanda!
