Well, the weekend has come and gone…again! {I hate how it always does that.} AND, this week is shaping up to be crazier than ever, so I apologize for the very quick post today…

proof of my sunday funday

It’s that time again… FRIDAY! Any fun plans? I will be working on a lot of {client related} projects this weekend but in my mind, I will be here.

Hopefully this picture gives me motivation for a little weekend getaway coming up in less than 10 days!

Happy weekend-ing!

Dress your flower girls in something they’ll LOVE. Tutus, sparkly TOMS and a fairy wand… How could you go wrong?

Bright statement bibs are the easiest way to change any outfit. Add it to a plain, white tee or on top of a flowy maxi dress… whatever you decide,  I promise these colorful pieces will add a little spunk to your every day ensemble!

Another exciting “happening” to share is our most recent feature of the derby inspired styled shoot! Check it out, here. A huge thank you to COUTUREcolorado for the awesome post!

I hope everyone has a happy week ahead.

Man, what a week! Several projects out the door {best feeling ever} and a few new things in the works, that I can’t wait to share with you. But until then, let’s talk about the weekend, shall we? 

With scorching hot days ahead, we all need to stay hydrated. Water, of course, is essential but so are fun, frozen drinks. Grab the blender. Mix it up. And maybe do a little dance. Cheers!

When I got married last fall, I didn’t think twice about what to do with my hair. It had to be up. Having such thick hair {with a mind of its own} I knew it  needed to be up and out of the way so I didn’t have to worry about it or mess with it throughout the night.

let’s face it- the minute it was time to dance, I would start sweating, and if was down, it would end up in a regular pony tail holder. boooooring.

So with fellow brides like me in mind, I gathered a few of my favorite up-dos for inspiration. When doing my own hair trial, I found that adding a little bit of a messy twist helps keep thick hair up and out of your face. {thank goodness!}

:: so, how did/will you wear your hair for your wedding day ::

It’s so easy to take cool pictures on the ole cell phone these days. With instagram, hipstamatic and other apps, we have so many ways to be a “photographer”. And while I love all of those apps, I also love spending time with my real camera. I am by no means a professional but I do love learning and playing behind the lens. In doing so, I think I need a few of these awesome accessories for my SLR and my family’s old-real-film-needed camera, don’t you?

I can’t get enough of these camera straps from Bloom Theory. (I want them all!) Pair the flirty strap with this La Sardina camera from lomography and you have the perfect match. And to top it off, why not get a stylish bag to lug it all around? I think the Bossi Bag is the only way to go. Cute, stylish and practical.

Professional or not you’ll be the cutest girl out there snapping away

It’s friday. (thank goodness) It’s funny how the short weeks feel even longer than a normal ones. Oh well. We made it and I have the perfect weekend outfit for you as a reward.
Casual, Cute and Comfy. Three C’s that I love.

It’s the time of year where I start to dream of frozen drinks, swimming pools and lemonade stands. It’s also the time of year where I officially welcome ice cream back into my regular diet.
(who am I kidding, I eat the delicious treat year round)

So with this sunny-day-dreaming inspiration, an ice cream social was formed.

:: ideas ::

Build-your-own sundae bar and supply all the essentials- chocolate sauce, caramel, sprinkles, nuts, mixed berries, candy pieces- And make sure to get a variety of yummy ice cream flavors, like Talenti.      
(side note- if you haven’t tried this amazing gelato, please drop everything and run to the store.)


Bake your favorite cookies and make your own ice cream sandwiches. Once you fill the cookies with ice cream, roll the sides around in your favorite topping. I assure you this will be a crowd favorite!


Provide old fashioned soda pop with fun and quirky straws, but please, promise me that you’ll use the straws. we want this party to be fun, do we not?


Lastly, keep the party going all the way down to the serving pieces. Try these mini latte bowls from Anthropologie and pair it with the cutest wooden spoons from Sucre.

Move over ice cream truck, there’s a new party in town. Cheers to the perfect, backyard soiree.
