Show Stopper

I most definitely gasped when I saw this incredibly wedding dress. It is truly “stop you in your tracks” gorgeous! If I hadn’t already had my wedding this would be on some major inspiration lists!! Just the right amount of poof with delicate lace, very retro! The dress was made just for her (by her mom I think).

I seem to be spending my lunch break these past few days searching “Turkish Rug” on Ebay. I am not in the market for a rug (although it would look pretty cute on top of our sisal rug, but no no no I must save up for a new couch), but I just can’t help peruse all the beautiful fun colors and patterns.

If I had a little kiddo, you bet your bottom dollar that these little outfits would be on their back to school shopping list. I am loving all the sweet clothes over at Kayce Hughes. There is such a old fashioned hand sewn quality that is hard to find now a days.

Pleasantville

This is my little fantasy life. The one where I have lots of adorable children all dressed up in smocked dresses with ribbons in their hair and where I push an old fashioned pram while wearing cat eyed sunglasses and high heals. My little Pleasantville has come to life in these photos.

For Peet’s Sake!

First of all, how adorable is Amanda Peet with her cutie patootie girls? What a babe! Second, I have fallen in love all over again with her revamped home, previously seen in Domino many years back. That dining nook has me ooing and awwing over every cozy detail.

Guess where I get to go for a whole 8 days?!?! Hawaii!!!! I am beyond excited to get a little R&R with my whole family as we soak up the sun and warm water on the Big Island of Hawaii. Oh boy I can’t wait till 5:30 hits today! Hope you all have a great weekend and try not to be too jealous of me ;)

This photo is a little behind the scenes shot of one of my family’s all time favorite movies, Blue Hawaii, staring the very dreamy Elvis. Our family dog is even named, Maile, after Elvis’ girlfriend. View high resolution

Lately I have been loving all things black and white spotted. More sophisticated then a polka dot, yet still fun and playful. I have had my eyes on China Seas’ Rio (on the wing chairs in the second photo) fabric for a possible draper option in our second bedroom. It can mix and match with anything and I feel like I will never grow tired of them.

This picture may be the cutest thing I have ever seen. I am a strong believer in the power of a classic St.James shirt and seeing these adorable little gals only solidifies it. A mini St.James shirt would be a perfect classic baby gift, mini boys and girls look equally cute in them.  View high resolution

My heart has been heavy these past few days for our amazing wedding photographer and sweet friends who have lost their 21 month old, sweet baby Penny, in a tragic accident. The Thomas family has so much love and faith in their hearts it is inspiring to all. We love the Thomas family and I know anyone who has ever met them feels the same way. You can donate to support their funeral cost as PenniesforPenny. Send your prayers their way.

Lately I have been loving the look of these Turkish towels. I just had to share that Joss and Main have them on their website for a great deal. I think it would look so chic to have a colorful assortment of them hanging in the bathroom. Those little tassels get me every time, I can’t resist a good trim.
