perfection personified in this pretty pink shower


This is the bridal shower of my dreams, down to every last detail.  The feel is feminine, overly romantic, and just plain lovely.  There isn't a single thing I would change and I can't stop staring at these photos.  Especially the food and dessert spreads...now that's how I really know this was meant for me. As if I wasn't smitten by the decor already.

I must have those glass water dispensers! Lemonades, teas, fruit infused waters...
Pinkberry bar and mini milkshake bar? How do these people know my dreams?
The bride's name is Leila so they had the cutest idea to make the theme "L is for..." Life, Love, Laughter, Lovely...the list goes on and on. I thought that was such a sweet personal touch.

I love this idea!  Guests could create their very own perfume at this darling scent bar and take your signature scent home as a party favor.  It's a fun event and I adore those old fashioned glass bottles with cork tops. Mmm I want a vanilla one.

Swooning commences now.  There's nothing I love more than a well dressed gentleman.  Particularly with a military tuck tie, even though I don't have a thing for men in uniform.  Something about the old school demeanor that comes with it is irresistible.

summer by the siene

Happy Friday! I don't think I've ever fully appreciated weekends until I started a steady work week. It brings a whole new meaning to Friday, I'm in love. I wish I was kicking up my heels on the banks of the Siene River, but Los Angeles will just have to do!

Okay, I know went a liiiiittle overboard with putting up all of these pictures but I couldn't help it! My heart melted and I literally laughed out loud when I saw these.  These are only my top favorites too, even though each photo is absolutely adorable.  What an amazing hobby to pick up on maternity leave!  I bet this little girl is going to look back and find these hilarious. Good job Mom!

tree house x a thousand


How crazy is this tree hotel in Sweden? This house in the sky was designed by Tham & Videgard Arkiekter that's opening as part of a Treehotel. I wonder what it would be like to stay in there...

sweet&saucy


Obsessed with this carefree dessert table!  Designed by Sweet & Saucy, I love how everything is miniature and on eclectic cake stands. Just looking at it makes you feel good. And hungry. Mmm.

rethink design studio

I love this sprawling Savannah home!  Open and airy with floor to ceiling windows and doors, this Rethink Design Studio home looks refreshing and crisp.  I especially am head over heels for those enlarged black and white portraits they have hanging in their dining room.  See more of this gorgeous house here.

cargo chic



shrek forever after

I was skeptical at first...a Shrek inspired wedding? But I was proven wrong when I was swept off my feet by the whimsical wedding in the woods and this playful video.  And that saucer and spoon? J'taime is right!

love you baby

When I have a little mini me, I want my bouncing bundle-of-joy to be perched on this chic cherry red baby chair. I love everything about this breakfast nook, the vibrant purples, the plush fabrics, the shutter windows (my favorite kind), and of course the quirky chandelier.  This room looks perfectly put together but so comfortable.  That built in seating area, with its quilted back board, is an absolute dream.

How cool is the Polish Expo Pavilion for the World Expo? This is architecture at it's best, designed by WWWA Architects.
