POLYVORE

I've been having fun exploring the Polyvore site. It's a combo of shopping, style, fashion and the best part is you can create your own looks & mood boards. I haven't made one yet but maybe I'll give it a shot today.

{thanks Thu for turning me on to this site, you're right - it is right up my alley!}

MAPS

I was toying with the idea of including a hand drawn letterpress map in my wedding invitations so I drew this one this weekend. I love hand drawn maps. They are so much fun!

LOVE

I had to share more recent images from Steep Street. They were just to cool not too!{again, via Rock'n'Roll Bride}

SUGAR LOOP

These illustrations are so cute! I love the mid century references. See more at Sugar Loop.

SPLASHES OF COLOR

Loving the splash of color on these photos from Steep Street (via Rock'n'Roll Bride) and the graphic art work from Damien Correll (via ohjoy!).

SHE WAS SHIMMER AND LACE

Love these resort looks from Phillip Lim and Marchesa.

LOVEBIRDS

I HEART LETTERPRESS

This is one of my favorite letterpress invitations printed by Vertallee here in Austin. I love the yellow and grey and the delicate poppies.

DIAMONDS ARE A GIRLS BEST FRIEND

I've been looking at wedding bands recently and remembered how much I love rings. Here are a few that captured my heart.

BEAUTIFUL PRINTS

I absolutely freaked over these images from Suno (via Frolic). They also fit perfectly with the scraps of antique fabrics my mother recently sent me (pics above).

STATEMENT NECKLACES

I love these chunky necklaces. Thinking my fall outfit will be jeans, a simple top, cardigan, flats and a statement necklace.
Or I can wear sandals - cause I can all year! Sorry...I't still giddy about the fact that I will not have to endure another cold NY winter.

JUST BEAUTIFUL

I love these gorgeous watercolors by Stina Pearson.

I HEART JAMIE

I've been a long time fan of Jamie Oliver and I absolutely love his line of food products. I want everything in my kitchen to look like this.

POSTAGE

So, I've been collecting inspiration for my wedding invitations for a while and I love the use of multiple postage stamps on envelopes. I especially love the use of vintage postage. 100 Layer Cake did a post a while back about vintage stamps and where to find them. You can get them here, here and here.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND!

Can't wait for delicious celebration! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
