One of the most lush, romantic weddings I've seen in a while. Just breathtaking.
...The cascading flowers, the birdcages, the cake, the antique displays!

{DIY: Cake Stand}
{via: Apartment Therapy}
Just had to post about this darling idea to repurpose vintage plates and glass candlestick holders by turning them into a cupcake stand or serving tray. I've been wanting an occasion to come up as an excuse to make something like this. I like that it's a cheap craft project, I can thrift for some floral plates and I have those exact candlestick holders left over from my wedding. Besides that I'm only missing some strong craft adhesive. This would also be a great jewelry catch-all!

{Recipe: Brazilian Limeade}
The Summer has been pretty intense here in Sacramento and we're trying to get used to it. One little drink came to our rescue, the Brazilian limeade! My husband and I first had this drink at a Brazilian restaurant and he just fell in love with it. So one day while sweating it out, he asked me to look up the recipe and see what gave this drink its special flavor. I found a simple recipe for it and made it our own. We can't stop making it! It's perfect to keep in the fridge or make for BBQ's or picnics. Hope this drink helps you cool off and enjoy the Summer!
1. Fill your blender with 4-5 cups of cold water.
2. Add 2-3 Tbl of sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup sugar. Blend together for 1 minute.
3. Add 4 medium limes cut into 8ths (with smooth, thin skin) or 6-7 small key limes (these make it especially tart) cut into 4ths. Blend by pulsing 6-7 times, enough to turn it slightly green.
4. Strain the limes, use a spoon to press all of the juice out of the limes.
5. Pour into a pitcher. Add ice and serve.

{A very delicious birthday}
Yesterday was my 25th birthday. I woke me up to the smell of gardenias that my husband had scattered through out our room. And I got to spend the day doing some of my favorite things. I decided to try my hand at eclairs, something I haven't made before. And I have to say they turned out delicious! Homemade is always better than store bought. I found a pretty simple recipe and got to it, I was surprised by how easy they are to make. I'll definitely be making these again. While the husband made one of my favorite desserts as my birthday cake, pavlova. I just love being in the kitchen with family.

{Oh, so Ladylike: Erin Fetherston Resort 2011 Collection}
{via: Style.com}
This resort collection is ladlylike perfection. I love the color palette and fabrics, not to mention those shoes {and skinny trousers, love}! The feminine silhouettes and details like the sweatheart necklines, belted waists, and pretty bows accent curves and elongate the figure. The kind of clothes that give you confidence and make you feel oh, so pretty.
*Today is my 25th birthday, btw.

{Oh, so darling: Valentine}
Recently came across Valentine and hate that I didn't discover her blog sooner. She's quite possibly the cutest girl living in Paris with style {and hair, totally thinking about bangs now} to be envious of. I spent some time browsing her outfits and darling photography{amazing Parisian landscapes, parks, streets and buildings}. If ever you need style inspiration and ideas on how to mix up your wardrobe, her blog is the place to go. Her outfits are casual yet chic; effortlessly mixing prints, textures, and colors with both a vintage and modern twist. Lovely.

{Marie Antoinette: Gift Wrap}
Well I'm back from my sweet little vacation in Orange County. I went to give my best friend of 18 years a surprise visit for her 25th birthday. Both her boyfriend and I wanted this birthday to be a memorable one so he flew me down to be her gift! I had so much fun planning things for us to do and places to go the week I was in town. Including Disneyland, sushi dinners, and shopping of course.
I used Marie Antoinette as my inspiration for wrapping her gifts. I used light pink and gold scroll wrapping paper, brown and white satin ribbon, pink rhinestone embellishments, a delicate cameo charm, and a peacock feather accent. I created a handmade card using heavyweight card stock, the same wrapping paper as a banner and a pretty mounted scrapbooking sticker that I embellished with her initial and more pink rhinestones. Suffecient to say I had fun wrapping her gifts and making the card. Because presentation should be just as much part of the gift :)
