Inspired Color & Placement

The photographs by Tara Donne are nothing short of eye candy to gaze at this lovely Tuesday morning. I can't believe summer is over - where has the time gone?

I hope everyone had a lovely holiday weekend!

Inspired Moments

The photography of Trine Thorsen transports me to little golden moments. Browsing through her photos, I kept thinking, "I want to be there." If you're looking for a bit of inspiration on this lovely Monday, you'll find it here.

Wouldn't the bottom photo of the flower lined wire basket be the perfect way to hold ceremony programs? How lovely to have a little area like this before guests walk down the aisle...

{I'm going to be sharing photos soon of my little trip to Portugal last week!}

Summer Travel

As I write this I'm spending some time in Portugal to celebrate a sculpture project my husband has been working on for the past 2 years. This weekend is the start of Portugal's first ever Art Biennial. I can't tell you how impressive the work that my husband and his partner created for it, and I look forward to sharing many photos with you when I'm back home. In the meantime, I thought I'd share some photos of our family vacation from last summer in Portugal. Lyla was only 4 months old and it was such a perfect time to travel with her (she's the little bean on the sofa). We were here for almost a month, rented a car and traveled along the coast. Portugal is a lovely country with kind people and incredible scenery with some of the most amazing castles, enchanted forests, and small villages I've ever seen in all of my travels.

I hope you all are enjoying your summer and that you, too, get to have some down time.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Holiday!

I hope you all get to have some good ole summer times this weekend! Hopefully a little beach time, run through some confetti, or eat some delicious cake. And most of all, get to spend this weekend with some of your favorite people in the world.

Have a wonderful July 4th weekend and be safe!

A Modern Take on Old Love

I love this photo of Philippe Starck and his wife Jasmine (top photo) from The Selby. I don't know the back story but I'm guessing they recreated the pose from what appears to be his parent's wedding day - he looks a lot like his dad, right?

Perfect Pop

I could spend hours on photographer Carl Kleiner's site. All of his photographs are amazing. He truly brings these images and colors to life. I'm quite fascinated with his photographs of these illustrations. Although I'm not quite sure of the artist of these illustrations (if you know please send me a note!), these photographs have the colors popping out of my screen (in a seriously good way).

Fall Official

It's official. Fall is here and I think these beautifully styled photos by Meghan Guthrie set the mood for the season!

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Delicious

Browsing through on of my favorite blogs, Love Obsess Inspire, I came across the work of Liz Wolfe. Her photography is so luscious and delicious that it was hard to resist posting every photo on her entire site. What I love most about her photos is the use of color and creating these bubble gum like scenarios with oddly strange objects. There is definitely a lot of personality to her photographs which I love. I tried to pick my favorites but there is so much more eye candy on her site. I especially love the sugar photographs in her earlier work and how can you resist a gem encrusted doughnut? So much fun!

Have a wonderful weekend! I am actually on vacation right now with my family in lovely Portugal. I will resume posting after Labor Day. I hope everyone has had an amazing summer and I will see you back here soon! xoxo

Eye Candy

Okay - I have to admit, I am a bit late to the amazing, well, let's admit it, perfect work of Aran Goyoaga of the blog Cannelle et Vanille. Her desserts and styling are just breathtaking. Not only are they beautiful to the eye, but she comes from a family of pasty chefs so you can imagine how amazing they taste! She makes these wondrous creations, she styles them and is the eye behind the camera. Amazing, right? So I thought these photos would be a nice way to end the week before a nice long holiday weekend. My mouth is watering....

Happy 4th of July everyone. I hope everyone gets to hang out with their loved ones, have picnics, and eat good food!

Rustic & Beautiful

I am in love with these oars by New Zealand artist Home Base Collections. They are absolutely incredible. You can either buy prints or the actual oars - I want a little of all of them! The rest of her site is also just as breathtaking - nothing short of inspiring.

Casual & Pregnant

I thought I would share a couple of pictures of me pregnant with you. These were taken back in early February - I was about 7.5 months. Our good friend Anna took them, and lucky for us she shot our wedding as well so she kind of has become our in-house photographer. Just kidding, but she has captured the biggest moments in our lives so it is fun to share them with you. We didn't do any of the naked belly shots, or even couple shots, everything was super casual, taken in our apt. on a Sunday morning. It was nice, Patrick left us to have our girl time and we just sat and chatted and laughed the whole time. I can't stress enough how important it is to be comfortable around your photographer - especially for your wedding! The top pictures were a series of fun digital shots taken in our bedroom in front of our super sweet wood paneling and the bottom picture Anna took in film (which I love, you just can't got wrong with film).

I have to admit - I miss my pregnant belly, I LOVED being pregnant! Of course it has nothing on having our little girl in the world with us, but the belly is lots of fun!

Rodney Smith

I love Rodney Smith's photos; so modern, yet timeless, all while capturing the perfect balance of color and poise.

On a side note, how amazing were the Oscars last night? Hugh Jackman was fantastic and I loved the Slumdog sweep!!!

Styled Beauty

Gorgeous styled photos by Dutch stylist and illustrator Frieda Maria.

Anna Kuperberg

I love these photographs by Anna Kuperberg, her sense of composition and space is impeccable. How beautiful is that top shot of the couple in the snow !?! They look like they are having so much fun!
