friday quote

Lately, I have been struggling with patience in many aspects of my life and I couldn't find a quote that said exactly what I was thinking or mirrored how I felt this week.  I did however find an image that said it all:

A bit of a depressing image for a Friday but it kind of has a hopeful spin to it.  So...

I hope you have a fabulous labor day weekend!

shiny front door

I currently have an obsession with shiny black front doors.  It feels so elegant, I am dying to paint my front door to resemble one of these beauties! 

Am I right or am I right?!

winter wedding wednesday

Wedding Hair!  It's time to discuss this difficult decision.  Here are some beautiful hair photos that will hopefully help to inspire the bride's do.

This is a great picture tutorial for a half up/half down look.  Very pretty.

I like these loose beachy waves for a more casual feel.

This low bun has an old school vibe.

This is a great way to pull your hair back but still have loose tendrils near your face.  Very flattering.

I love these classic waves!

This is a great "side hair" look

What's a girl to chose?

sleek waves

I love the look of the sleek wave, similar to my friend Lauren Conrad, above.  I found this great tutorial on Refinery29 that I will have to try...



unconventional desk chair

I love the idea of having a big upholstered armchair as my desk chair.  I like the thought of being able to be cozy while working.  It could lend to back troubles...either way here are some of the images that have inspired me:

friday quote

"Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow."

winter wedding wednesday

I have been brainstorming centerpiece ideas lately, let me know if you have a favorite!

I love the white on white combination, very elegant without being stuffy.

I love this take on the white on white but in mason jars for a more casual and relaxed wedding.



Peonies are one of my favorite flowers, but I also love the idea of greenery on the tables.  A mix of boxwood's and peonies throughout the reception could be beautiful. 

This idea for the table numbers could be perfect for Casie's white, gray, and navy color palette.

I love this idea as well...Instead of flowers being the main centerpiece let the candles shine!

This was so creative I had to share it.  It incorporates the centerpiece and the table number into one very unique statement.

nails, nails, nails

I have recently been more playful with my nails and I love new ideas.  Here are some of my favorite ideas:

I love the colors and the detail on the one finger, it inspired me...

This is what I did this weekend, I love the little bit of sparkle!

I love the chrome instead of just silver.

Classic...the perfect color and shine never hurts.

I love this, it takes a classic taupe color with gold...perfect

friday quote



“I was a little excited but mostly blorft. "Blorft" is an adjective I just made up that means 'Completely overwhelmed but proceeding as if everything is fine and reacting to the stress with the torpor of a possum.' I have been blorft every day for the past seven years.”
― Tina Fey, Bossypants

wine bottles

I have recently come across some pretty amazing wine bottles, I have to say if I were to see any one of these bottles in a store I would buy them just for the design!

I love ideas like this embelishing an inexpensive piece of furniture for a more expensive look:
