TOAST

A few gorgeous images from the Toast.

CLUTCHING

It seems to be wedding season in Austin, so I have accessories on the brain. I'm loving all things metallic or embellished....

FEELING GEOMETRIC

Whipped up some a few little geometric patterns for you this morning.

Happy Tuesday! (this is my Monday as my office hours are currently Tues-Sat....still getting used to it).

I have been obsessed with the Be Well Red Tea packaging for a while now. Every time I pass that row of brightly colored tea canisters with their catchy little titles I always stop. I finally bought a few yesterday. Now I want them all. I'm such a sucker.

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS

It's been sunny and pleasantly warm this week, basking in the morning sun at our new place and trying to forget that it gets dark so early!

I'M BACK!!!!

Hi hi Hi!!

I am excited to be back and can't wait to get back into the swing of posting regularly again!

Hopefully I haven't lost all my loyal readers during my brief hiatus. I'm happy to say that I am settled into a fab new place and I'll post pics when we get completely unpacked.

I've been crazy busy over that last month, lots of new projects brewing that will be so much fun to share. Finalizing wedding invitation designs has been at the top of the list lately and I'd thought I'd share a little preview of my favorite inspiration. I'm diggin' flowers and a warm palette of corals, tangerines and yellows.

SAD PANDA

Hi Everyone,

As you've probably noticed my posting has gotten rather sparse lately and I'm sad to have to say this, but I'm going to have to take a break from the blog for a while.

After an unexpected chain of events, I have to find a new place to live. I look forward to getting settled in a new home and back to posting pretty things. Thank you all for being such faithful readers of Love & Folly and I hope to be back in action soon!

J.MENDEL, OH MY!

I think I just died and went to gown heaven. The J.Mendel dresses are so, so, so beautiful. I had a hard time picking just 3 to share.

PRETTY PASTELS

As the spring shows get under way, I'm getting amped for the all the pastels that are popping up on the runway. The combination of pastel prints with white, chambray, and hits of wisteria, aqua, and lemon looks new again. I especially love the soft prints from Cynthia Steffe.

Ahh...Fahion week. I had gotten so sick of it the past couple of years, but now that I am far way from NYC I'm totally excited about it. Plus the Style.com app for the i-phone is totally rocking my world.
