fascinator

i'm LOVING this holiday bridal fascinator! from lo boheme's new collection, this cute head piece is made from silk and fabric flowers and different types of feathers. i want to wear this somewhere... would it be too much at the grocery store? probably. i'll have to save it for my next british wedding... haha.

red + purple shower

i had so much fun designing these red + purple shower invites. they were letterpressed with a deep, beautiful impression which made each font stand out in its own way.

i'm obsessed with the square-look of this invite on a rectangular shape.
yay for white space! haha

the design was printed on crane's 110lb. fluorescent white and envelopes to match.

the feel and finish of letterpress is wonderful... so crisp and classic

i designed a few "tags" for the bridal shower... one to tell the guests to save their wrapping paper, and the other one saying that the bride decided to donate to the wounded warriors program in honor of all her guests. what an awesome idea!

thanks genna! you are wonderful to work with!
happy thursday! oxox

on tuesday, we found out the little monkey in my belly is a boy!!!
bring on the sharks and basketballs!

lovely items of the week

here they are!!!

painted votives from terrain
perfect for an outdoor bbq!
fill with a citronella candle and you'll safe from mosquito bites.

alright, fine... let's party!! confetti card
usually i hate when confetti gets all over the floor when i open a card, but somehow this card is so adorable that it gets a hall pass!

pennant drink stirrers by paper anniversary

i'm loving this charming print for a little girls room called alphabet soup and it comes in different colors to match your color scheme.

i think this card is classic and possibly fitting for every single dad out there!
by paper plates press

how freaking cute are these peep-toe pumps by valentino!


happy friday!

catie's picks

need to go weekend casual? here are catie's picks for a summery day or night on the town...

hive & honey crochet trim tee found on piperlime
breezy and easy!


lauren by ralph lauren crop pants found at nordstrom
i like the high waist. most of the time, capris make me look frumpy, but the high waist on these would make my legs look longer, and black is always slimming... win win!

pierre dumas sands sandals found on piperlime
LOVE these! might have to get them :)

big buddha ryan bag in taupe
how awesome is this bag! somewhere between modern and boho... i would be able to fit all my "purse junk" in there!

thanks to catie for making her picks. if anyone needs styling, re-organizing your closet, or just advice on what to wear, please email her (catharine.joyce@gmail.com).... especially mothers of the bride or groom!

hope you are having a good thursday!

love!

found this wedding on style me pretty and fell in love with this table...

i'm obsessed with the earthy qualities... wood, rock, huge green trees
and i love the lights... they might be the same ones we used for our wedding

these thank you stamps are from the same wedding
i just love how simple this design is... no need for bows, tags, etc.

sorry i have been lax about posting recently, its wedding season!
not to mention, i have a little bump to think about :)
(i think the baby knows i'm talking about it because its kicking like crazy right now!)

how terrible was bentley on the bachelorette last night?
ugh, can't stand him!
