Bootie craving

I am on the hunt for {affordable} black wedge booties that don't make me a giant. Fingers crossed that the TJ Maxx gods are smiling upon me this week and will have some similar to the ones above.

Perfect peppers

Image + recipe - love it here

Yesterday I went to the Brentwood farmers market and bought some of the best and sweetest bell peppers I've ever had. I also chose a green pepper shaped like the one in the photo because my amazing friend mentioned a really good way to cook it stuffed with cheese. YUM. I also found this recipe and must try it immediately!

Love is in the air

A big huge happy lovefilled congratulations to josh + esley. What a beautiful and intimate wedding. 

And what killer shoes! Love how they added spunk and a hint of personality to the bride's style.

DIY

A few inspirational DIY ideas I am dying to do with any free time {and extra funds}...

{needed: blackboard paint, fun/quirky frame, chalk}

Image - love it here

{needed: chunky letters, old frame to be painted, background optional. another spin is to do this with initials}

Image - love it here

{needed: (on a smaller scale) ink pad, letter stamps/fun handwriting/whatever works, frame. I love this idea as a save the date too!}

Comfort + Function

Well duh

How awesome is this idea?! I bought a bunch of wine glasses for a wine tasting party, and might have to dedicate some to this smartypants idea. Perfection for dinner parties or small get-togethers.

Lovely

Exposed

I came across this first photo on Pintrest and immediately *sighed*...there is something about the unexpectedness and rustic feeling that I am totally attracted to.

Recycled crafts

When I saw these photos, I immediately thought of my expressive arts teacher and supervisor who lead the art camp for kids at our school each June. She emphasized and inspired projects using recycled and collected materials. Clearly this one is going in the suggestion bin.
