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. 

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!

Fifty-five degree weather and pouring rain aside, summer seems like it has finally arrived in Boston. Between the warm weather, fruity cocktails, and a new (to me) apartment to settle into, I am craving some fresh and bold color. 

Sorry for the absence. Work has been nuts since we're a person short and I was prepping to move. More posts to come soon...I'm thinking 2-3 times per week. 

Happy June!

I have admired Blair Eadie's style for years now and I love love love this color combo! I'm not usually gutsy enough for this much color on color, but I have a chartreuse sweater and cobalt flats which are perfect with black pants for work. I would also love to see a most neutral interior with punches of cobalt and citron or chartreuse. What color combinations inspire you lately? 

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.
