The secret collections of the Museum of Natural History. Fascinating! 
Balanchine's Jewels is one of my very favorite ballets. I'm so envious of everyone in NYC who can see it now at the NYC Ballet!
I know I'm wayyy behind on this one, but I cannot get enough of watching lip sync battles. Melissa McCarthy's last song KILLED me.
I was so excited to see a shout out from Mackenzie on her 101 in 1001 update. Check out my list here. I only have 44 days to go and the race is on. Thanks for the love!
5 Items You Need in Your Closet from Liz. I'm thinking I need those flared jeans.
I picked up this guy from the Kate Spade Friends and Family sale last weekend. Can't wait for our trip to Toronto next weekend!!
We haven't started our registry yet, but I "need" this cheese board. Every time I go in Anthropologie, I have to visit it. (Tell me I'm not the only one!)
I've been pinning up a storm lately. Follow along with me this weekend.

I looooove LL Bean and Lands End canvas totes and am currently eyeing this leather handled one. A loves it too and I'm thinking my new last name might be the perfect monogram.

Babysitters Club Fashion. This is everything.

Did you see the Sesame Garlic Tacos recipe I posted? They are delicious!!

This calligraphy video is mesmerizing. 

Words that have a completely different meaning to Friends fans. 

Beautiful Ikea hack!

wed / how to brand your wedding part 1

Wedding branding has become more a necessity and less a trend recently. With Pinterest and wedding blogs steadily offering ideas and examples, it seems like more and more couples are branding their wedding whether or not they are working with a designer. A couple weeks ago I went searching on the interwebs for a list of all the items that might be branded for the big day. I didn't have any luck, so I compiled a list of my own!

The list got pretty long, so I am going to divide it up. First are all of the pre-wedding items...

Save the dates:

Invitations (including the invitation, reception card, direction card, and response card):

And a welcome bag and tag or card:

Next week I'll share a list of items you may want to include for the ceremony.

Happy #weddingwednesday!

I just ordered this ikat dress from JCrew and I am crossing my fingers it fits. While I'm add it, I'm soooo tempted to order these Eva Fehren earrings too. 

17 three ingredient cocktails. Have even less to work with? 16 two ingredient cocktails. 

There is in shower self tanner. Consider me intrigued. 

Photos of 1940s Paris against the same spots today. 

Styling tricks to steal from 10 beautiful living rooms.

Happy weekend! A and I are back and getting back into a normal work/life routine is harder than I thought it would be. I am slowly adjusting back will be back to a regular posting schedule next week. In the meantime I wanted to share one of my favorite Instagrams from the trip in case anyone missed it. If you need a Caribbean destination, I highly recommend our resort: Carambola Beach Resort in St Croix. 

Have a great weekend! I'll be resting, unpacking, and cleaning out in A's apartment to make room for myself :)

wed / tented south carolina wedding

When I saw this wedding on the Southern Weddings Mag blog, my jaw dropped. Not only was the family plantation a stunner, but the details were breathtaking. It was hard to pick just a few favorite photos, but be sure to see the whole wedding here. Those hardwood floors in the tent are truly one of a kind!

inspired / cobalt blue

Lately I have been on a serious blue kick. I think it may have started with my purchase of these blue Madewell flats (currently on sale!) and it’s just gone from there. I wanted to share a few images that caught my eye recently.

wear / currently coveting

JCrew Factory is 50% this week and I am soooo tempted to order everything. However, my dear friend L has promised an outlet trip when I’m in San Francisco later this month so I’m forcing myself to hold out until then. In the meantime I made a wishlist and I just stare at it longingly.

Apparently I’m on a blue kick!!! 

What are you coveting this summer?

diy / euro sham fabric

I just ordered three yards of this beautiful fabric to make some Euro shams for my bed…

Don’t you just love waiting for packages?

Happy Monday!
