wonderful

An old roommate of mine is a high-end wedding planner here in Charleston and would always rave about the amazing photos from A Bryan Photo.

Now I can see why. How awesome.

How beautifully awesome. Plus, she's a brave lady to wear her wedding dress in a pool!

I suppose these cool photos made it worth it.

I'm working on a few furniture re-finishing projects and have been in the market for some unique pulls and knobs. Anthropologie has one of the best selections out there - how cute are these?! I especially love the first one {so pretty!} and the last one, which would be so cute in a child's room.

Shoe of the season

Oh so beautiful.
Oh so expensive.
Oh how I love these.
And they even have a lower heel!

Valentino - Paris. Enough said.

Aahhhh-mazing Silhouette Cutter

Check THIS out! I didn't think anything like this was possible...but I'm SO glad to know it is! This silhouette cutting machine works like a printer but instead of printing the image, it cuts it.

Huh? Really?

Oh yes!

For us creative types this is genius! The wheels are already turning in my head for all the projects I could use it for. Please visit Twig & Thistle to check out a review and see their giveaway.

nothing is what it seems

The photo above is from a design contest sponsored by Levi's to "reinvent the clothesline". I love how it is a simple, effective way to marry form and function. The hands spell out "nothing" in American sign language and then the whole piece opens and unfolds into a clothesline. Perfect for a Manhattan studio, no?

Thoughts, opinions, do you like it?

See ya later, evite!

I've long been frustrated by evite. I love the design of notes and pretty invitations and the evite options just don't work for me. Luckily, I recently discovered this genius way to send {almost} real invitations, notes and even thank you cards. Paperless Post has gorgeous options and is a very unique way of inviting guests while still maintaining the ease and accessibility of an online invite. Plus, it helps save the environment, too. Bonus!

Look at these beauties...
