picture of the week [18]

If I was going to dress up as little red for Halloween, is that not the perfect coat for the job? And then I could have it to swaddle myself in forever more. What are you all up to this weekend? Raven's Mom is in town today and if all goes as planned I'll be visiting my family in Connecticut for the day tomorrow! Have an awesome one, here are my favorite links of the week, as always.

Decorating ideas for your dog. 

Alexander Wang for H&M! 

Love the message behind these moving photographs.

I would love to spend the weekend wearing these.

My favorite app, a must have for any online shopper!

Addicted to this new podcast.

Be prepared to get sucked down the rabbit hole.

real deal // huge steal = fall sunnies

Happy Monday, gorgeous humans! I was right. Just as suspected, taking the weekend to step back from work a little bit completely recharged my inspiration battery. Did you guys have a good one? Raven and I took Charlie hiking here yesterday, and loved watching him lose his shit over all the smells in the woods. We headed here afterwards to pick apples (read: eat apple cider donuts) but I think they squeezed over 1000 people into an acre of land. It was a mob, so we bought some apple cider and hit the road. All in all, a great weekend.

Lately I've been thinking about sunglasses. Such a weird thing to think about this time of year, right? Well at least to me it is, which is so silly - it's still beautifully bright out. But the other day I found a pair of sunglasses that I was itching to bring home with me...and then I got sad because I could buy so many OTHER things at their price point. Imagine my delight when I cam across today's save or splurge:

Karen Walker // ASOS

I love these so much! Something about tortoise shell that goes so perfectly with all of the mossy greens, ox bloods, navy blues and deep beiges we see this time of year. Of course, I'd pair them with plaid...but you know that already. Yes, accessories are on the brain, which reminds me. I haven't yet announced this week's giveaway!

If you've been reading LRW a while, you know my obsession with etsy shop SeaAndCake. Well, Stephanie, the lovely owner/designer, and I put our heads together and came up with the best giveaway ever.

Meet Karma, one of the best selling items in Stephanie's shop. Gorgeous, right?? All you have to do to win this beauty is leave a comment below. I will randomly select a winner on Friday Morning!

Good morning! Remember this necklace?

I've worn it almost every day since I bought it, and have gotten numerous compliments, even from random passersby on the street. I wore it during my shoot with Ashley, and even lent it to my client for her engagement shoot!

This beautiful piece is from one of my favorite etsy shops, SeaAndCake. Simple, dainty pieces with a nod to the nautical, all jewelry from SeaAndCake is handmade to order.

Here are my current favorites (click pictures for link):

Right!? Gorgeous, affordable, one of a kind jewelry, not from H&M or Bauble Bar, so you don't see yourself coming and going. And now for the great news...

The lovely Stephanie from SeaAndCake is offering 15% off any piece in her etsy shop exclusively to LRW readers with the code LITTLEREDSWELL! Get to shoppin', friends!
