i've always wanted to eat from a food truck. yep - i live in chicago and have never experienced a food truck first hand. so when i heard about panda express' orange chicken food truck tour, i knew i had to get in on the action. i've only eaten at panda express a few times, and each time is as good as the last, if not better! show your #orangechickenlove with the hashtag, or head to orangechickenlove.com for more, including the food truck schedule and some awesome merchandise! don't miss out on this perfectly good excuse to get yourself some orange chicken!!

i've always loved having photos as tangible items. when i was little, my extended family took a family reunion trip to disneyworld and after, my uncle created a photo book of all our adventures from that vacation. i can recall my siblings and i flipping through the pages, and even now, it's fun to skim the pages recalling the old memories. speaking of having tangible photos, shutterfly is having a huge sale right now, and you can get a hundred and one free prints when you use the code 101treats at checkout! it's perfect for documenting those moments you want to hold on to (literally!) forever. -m

as i was writing this week's inspration tuesday, i thought that maybe plaid was too fall/wintery - but then again, is it? ginger rocks some mean buffalo plaid, and looks super chic and springy! so i've decided to challenge myself to incorporate/mix more patterns into my current wardrobe. we'll see how it goes. :) -m

INSPIRATION TUESDAY: BIKE RIDE

clockwise from left: a beach cottage / public / lovely indeed
+
with the temperatures rising and the buds slowly showing themselves, it finally feels like spring! and we're pretty much half-way through april! (the clock needs to stoppppp!) with this newfound ability to be outside without getting smacked in the face by a 30* wind, i have been itching to go on a bike ride - anywhere! the only problem is, i don't have a bike. the one from public (above) is currently on sale FOR $200 OFF! so it's a big contender. jump on that folks! and happy spring bike-riding! -m

INSPIRATION TUESDAY: BIG BLOOMS

clockwise from left to right: 100 layer cake / style me prettyintimate weddings
+
i've yet again changed up the "inspiration tuesday" look to something cleaner, with crisper lines and more of a focus on the images. i'm liking it so far! anyway, with spring in full bloom (sorry, had to!) i felt like a post with flowers was necessary.  i love the look of big, full blooms in a vase, styled for a shoot, but i've never thought of carrying one ingle bloom as a wedding bouquet! it's different - but definitely in a good way. for more floral inspiration, head over to my pinterest! happy tuesday! -m

INSPIRATION TUESDAY: TRIANGLES

*while i'm off enjoying some much needed sun and warm weather, kate from clear the way has saved the day with your weekly dose of tuesday inspiration! give her a hand!*

Hi there, readers of THE LOLLY PROJECT. I am so pleased Molly asked me to share a little of what has been inspiring me lately so I can pass some of my inspiration onto you. This Tuesday, let's talk about triangles! I love the simple, geometric shape and it fulfills so many purposes. This DIY triangle shelving unit from Whimsy Darling is perfect for a weekend project. Or why not treat yourself to a minimalist manicure? You know what I'm really thinking about, though? The food beyond that yellow door! This restaurant is RayƩn Vegano, one of the Vegan restaurants I visited while in Madrid and home to some really delicious food.
What has been inspiring you lately?
