I ♥ Thursday {No.11}

It has been too long since our last "I ♥ Thursday" post and with it being Thursday, we thought "Why not?"

Layla's  ♥

Many of you probably don't know, but a few months ago (4 to be exact), I got a job at an Australian coffee shop as a barista ... which means I get to make people coffee and latte's and such!

These adorable outfits...

Contemplating coloring my hair this color... 
(I'll let you know what I decide!)

These people: Cillian Murphy,

Helena Bonham Carter,

Benedict Cumberbatch,

& Zooey Deschanel.

These musicians: Of Monsters and Men

Florence + the Machine

 Imagine Dragons

 Mumford and Sons

Enjoy this beautiful music from Mumford and Sons...

Hagen's ♥

 I must confess. I love Polyvore. But it is such a time consumer....

Here is a recent set I created! 

I really want to go shooting!

Rain drops with 'stashes! Adorable!

I really can't wait for Summer! I wanna go on a picnic....

And have a tea party....

And wear these outfits while doing so....

 This would be perfect with a pair of skinny jeans while having a picnic!




Love the bag!



For Christmas I got a Donut Bun thing, (I don't really know what to call it...)
 So I've been experimenting with it...

 
 A few great ways to style a donut bun!

And as always, I love my camera!

Well, that's all for now!
What have you been loving?

Love,

Here are just a few things we have been loving/doing for the past few weeks:

First off, let's start with chocolate, because chocolate deserves to come first. Enjoy Life is our favorite brand of chocolate, it's allergen free, so we can all enjoy it!

Second comes books and the library. We love going to the library and diving into a good book, like this one...

"The Watch That Ends The Night" by Allan Wolf is an amazing book we both recently finished. I have to say it is one of the best Titanic books I have read!

The beach, of course! When we went last weekend, the waves were full of jellyfish. Arrg, those jellyfish just float around looking cute and harmless, and when you least expect it, ZAP!

Writing and receiving letters from our long-distance friends is awesome! It makes you feel close, when it seems like you are a million miles away...

Collecting shells has become a fun hobby of ours. You never know what things you will find that have been washed ashore...

And just loving the big state of Texas!


What have you been loving?
So, are you ready for the first day of Summer tomorrow? According to the heat here, we thought it already was Summer!
Blessings,
Layla & Hagen

I ♥ Thursday {No. 9} ~ Book Favorites

A few weeks ago, we had a reader ask what our favorite books are. We decided to share them with you today for I ♥ Thursday, because we really love these books!

Hagen's ♥

 

Aww, good o'l Huck' and Tom... I love these books! I am sure you all know they both are by Mark Twain. They are so lively and full of adventure!

The Fellowship of the Ring is wonderfully written.
Once I got started on it, it was hard for me to put it down! I have yet to read the rest of the series and I can't wait!

 

The Chronicles of Narnia is absolutely beautiful!
The words of C.S. Lewis are so strong and express love and courage.


 

A Tale of Two Cities, another great classic.
 

 I just recently read Redwall and though it may not be as advanced as some of the books I read, it still captivated me.


 

Okay, so obviously I like mice books...
And adventure books... And I love Richard Peck...
 

Another great book by Richard Peck.


I am sure you have heard of this and probably watched the movie, but the movie doesn't do it justice! ;)

 

I really like Kate DiCamillo, 
but I have only read a couple of her books....

Layla's ♥

 
I'm sure you have heard of Treasure Island, but it really is my favorite pirate book, full of scally wags and mutiny! Arrrgh!

 Macbeth, a Shakespearean novel.

A science experiment gone wrong...
 

 

What can I say, Agatha Christie an awesome mystery writer!    

 

I love each of the Hermux Tantamoq Adventures. They are full of action and mystery, with a bit of humor mixed in.

#1 Time Stops for No Mouse

 

#2 The Sands of Time

 
#3 No Time Like Show Time

#4 A Time To Smell The Roses

A Series of Unfortunate Events.
This series is pretty old, I read it through elementary school, but I would love to re-read it! It's on the darker side, but if you want an intense thriller/action series, this is the one for you!

I love all of Brian Selznick's books, his illustrations really make his books come to life. You might recognize this book, it was the inspiration for the movie Hugo.

I hope you enjoyed seeing each of our Top 10 Favorite Books! Have you read any of these books, or know the authors?

Have a blessed Thursday,
Layla&Hagen
