Wedding Wednesday!

These boots were made for walkin. . . down the aisle that is! From the cowboy boots to the wildflower bouquets to the hay bales used for guest seating, this wedding screams country! Isn't every last detail just plain adorable?!?! It's down home, playful, and colorful, and I just plain love it!

Crazy for Thomas Paul!

I have seen his designs everywhere (probably because he's been featured in like a gazillion magazines) but until now, I didn't know who the man was behind these fresh, funky and brilliant designs!

Thomas Paul (don't you just love a guy with two first names?!) started out in the NYC fashion scene back in the 90's creating silk neckware and scarves for DKNY, Calvin Klein & more. In 2001 he launched his pillow collection. Now you can find his patterns gracing every aspect of the home including pillows, rugs, art, fabric, lighting, stationary, table linens, plates, totes, pouches and more. All of his products can be found at velocityartanddesign.com. You can also find some of his great home products here and here . Here's a look at a few of my favorite designs;

September 21st



It's officially the last day of summer and today I picked the very last blossom in my yard. I was saving it just for today! We inherited a bazillion rose bushes when we moved into our new home. While the boy has proceeded to rip some of them out already, I have managed to convince him to keep a few. Granted, I have to admit, I am not a huge fan of rose bushes, they are so thorny and oddly shaped, etc., but the second I saw them start to bloom I fell in love! All summer I was fortunate enough to have bouquets of flowers adorning my dining table, bathroom counter, living room end tables, etc. We have a large variety too; pink, white, red, purple, yellow, and even a very unique rose that I am not able to identify (I've done a little bit of research online but am still unable to figure out what type of rose it is.) Nonetheless, it is soooo beautiful with its pink tips, yellow undertones, and white petals. Awwww, if only I could enjoy these pretties all year round! Oh well, I am already looking forward to spring and seeing my favorite blooms pop up again!

Anthropologie Hardware

Ok, so we all know Anthropology has some great stuff. Let me rephrase that, they have some amazing stuff. From the clothes to the the jewelry to the furniture to the home decor and accessories, I love it all! But until now, I didn't realize they also carried an amazing collection of hardware! I honestly fell in love with every knob and pull and wish I had a place for each and every one! Also, their switch plates, doorknobs and hooks are to die for as well. I'll take one of each! Here's some of my favorites;











Fun Friday!
