Enjoying a Cocktail with my Mr.

I'm in love. Like really, totally, majorly in love, love, love with this pair of highballs. I spotted them over at the Mrs Shoppe of curated lovelies and think they would be the perfect addition to our future bar cart. 

along with the prettiest bottles of vodka I ever did see. Is it weird that I'm willing to abandon good old Belvedere for a cuter, more stylish version? I am also the girl that chooses her wine based on bottle design so no, if you know me... it's not that weird

Dance Party

putting disco balls on a windowsill is a genius idea. Loving the way the light bounces all over the room. I have a feeling the Lepperds are going to be having morning disco parties very, very soon. Now I'm off to find some disco balls of my very own. P.S. I really dislike the word ball so I think I will call it a disco globe instead. yep, much better.

The Cutest Short Film Ever Made

have you all seen this? The husband and wife duo behind Rockstar Diaries are sort of the cutest things alive and this film shot by their friends For You Love Me completely proves it.

Southern Hospitality

 a little birdie told me that this little ol' blog made it onto a pretty sweet list of top blogs in the new Southern Weddings Mag. So cool!

and in the whimsical category none the less. Oh how I love that. Thanks Southern Weddings! You're making me blush

We have a Problem

ever since this perfectly cute machine came into our lives I don't drink water. I don't drink milk or juice...nothing else but coffee. Coffee, coffee, coffee. It's becoming a problem. Maybe it's because the pods are so cute?

A Girl's Best Friend

I don't need big rocks on my finger. Just hang them from every light socket and we will call it even. Buy them here.

Capital O Obsessed

While perusing through the latest House Beautiful, I came across these pretty little numbers from Etsy seller Jill Rosenwald. Clearly these need to grace the shelves of my new apartment, right? I mean how could I possibly resist such bright, cheery linkery.

I want it. I want it. I want it

Anna Bond can do no wrong and her latest creation has me counting pennies and telling myself that I absolutely, positively need a $120 recipe box. Do you need one too?

Garland Love

I'm in a garland kind of mood today and that dress has me in a summer kind of mood as well. Garland party anyone?

A few things...

this dress totally made my busy day better when it politely arrived at my doorstep on time and fitting perfectly. 

I am completely jealous of this guy's hair. Is that normal? 

I worked on a super secret photo shoot over the weekend and it turned out AWESOME. I have to wait to show you the pictures but in the meantime I'll leave you with my partner in crime after a super long day and way too little food. Ohh loopy stylists are the best.

that is the extent of my thoughts for the day. ciao ciao

Bun Love

Boho Party Chic

Ok, can I please say that The Ace Hotel, rice krispy treats, psychic readers, and a monkey are genius additions to any wedding.  Throw in Our Labor of Love photography and you have a unforgettable party in the making.

We interrupt scheduled broadcasting...

to wish this blog a happy first birthday. On this day, one year ago, I wrote my  first blog post and had absolutely no idea what I was doing or what I was getting myself into. Needless to say, it has been a very good year. Cheers and thank you so very much for following along. I think I need a cupcake.

A pothole garden

Artist Pete Dungey is saving British roads one pothole at a time by planting a little garden. This definitely makes for prettier potholes.

Subject: Hello, Erin, from Sunset Magazine

Hello Erin,

I noticed your charming blog post about our recent story on succulent frames. If space permits, I’d like to include a reference to it in an upcoming Reader Letters column. How does that sound to you?

--Alan Phinney

I found this little gem in my inbox yesterday and nearly had a heart-attack. Granted it says "if space permits" and yes it is only a reader letters column but STILL - it is SUNSET magazine. I die.
