summer's end

I can feel fall starting to creep into the air. Maybe I am just willing it here, because the days are still long and hot... but things are changing. Mornings are cool and the breeze seems to blow a little stronger. Enjoy your last summer nights!

one cute girl, sixteen cute looks

Immediately get yourself over to Old Heart, New Soul; the shop of mother and daughter team Tamara and Shea. I'll let their shop description speak for itself:

"Together they have scoured estate sales and shops across the globe, gleaning inspiration from decades past and present, to form Old Soul, New Heart - a collection of meticulously hand-crafted accessories that breathe new life into vintage finds and unique pieces."

I would just love to put some of these ruffles and bows on myself. Oh and isn't Shea the cutest model? And that red lipstick??

project

So here is a preview of the project I spoke of a couple days ago. I assigned my photo class a "photo a day" project to get them back into the habit of using the cameras and being creative on a daily basis. I decided to embark on the project myself and am taking three photos a day. On day 3 there is not much to report, though I can tell it will get harder as time goes on. I have only photographed objects around the house so far and here are a few of my favorites. unedited- don't judge.

origami

ps. I've had this image of this adorable girl on my computer for so long that I can't remember where it came from. I know she had a great flickr though. Sorry.

shot to the heart!

cake love

How beautifully simple are these cakes by Rachel of HeartofLight? I am obsessed with those skinny pink candles on the first one. I am not much of a baker, but these are a work of art in my opinion. The rest of her blog is equally as delicious, promise. Happy Saturday dears!

weekend colors

I have noticed a quite a bit of yellow and green popping up in my images from the weekend so far. From the green succulents and basil to the yellow heliopsis blooms and fresh lemons, I think these hues reflect my mood. I feel the yellow happiness radiating out of me ever since my other half returned yesterday, I couldn't feel more complete. Hope yours has been just as wonderful!

Michael Arras Furniture

Loving the work of Michael Arras. See it here in his etsy shop. It is fun and whimsical with a definite mid-century flair. I can see the circles table in my living room... aah, dreams!

Happy news, the mister is home today from two months on tour! I am looking forward to a long weekend of sleeping in, cuddling, making dinner, catching a friends show, and catching up with my love before I have go back to work next week (the sad news). Hope your weekend is relaxing and lovely!

love storm!

how exciting to be in the midst of a love storm.

cannot remember the source, sorry!

feathers

Got this adorable peacock feather dress at forever 21 yesterday. For only 22.90 I couldn't resist. Now I need to be taken on a sweet date so I will have somewhere to where it...

Oh and doesn't it remind you of the Matthew Williamson print on the long dress that I posted the other day? Steal!
