Cupcake Stands

{Via Reverie Daydream}

I'm a big fan of cake stands... but who knew there were cupcake stands? Not me! I'll add these to the never-ending list of things-I-would-buy-if-I-wasn't-paying-for-a-wedding!

Update: If you're looking for these adorable cupcake stands, you can buy them here!

Loving the look of red lips + red heels + neutral dress. Kate Bosworth makes it look easy, but I'm not so sure I could pull it off. Would love to try though!

Bubble, Bubble

{Via Sweet Home Style}

Tonight is a bubble bath and wine kind of night, cause it was that kind of day. Not only did I have a root canal and have some last-minute copy drama, but I found out my boss is leaving my team. And unlike many people out there, I actually love my boss. I'm super bummed, but staying hopeful that someone just as inspiring, who challenges me just as much will replace her...

...well I'm off to indulge in complete quiet and relaxation with a delicious glass of Oregon Pinot... Ciao!

DIY Lamp

Isn't this DIY lamp genius? Looks so earthy and wonderful and all you need to do is go outside and pick up sticks! Love!

Wedding Shoes

I can't get over Chelsea Petaja's gorgeous yellow wedding shoes. She wanted wedges so she wouldn't aerate the lawn with her heels, which is exactly the same dilemma I'm in... I love, love, love her shoes but unfortunately for me her sister found them for her at TJ Maxx (for $14.99!!!) and they're no longer available. Boo. I would love these or something very similar in coral... If anyone can point me in the right direction...

P.S. Love her hubby's striped socks. So fun!

Hello!

Why hello there. Happy Monday! Sorry I wasn't around last week... I was having some dental issues that caused me a lot of pain + stress, which didn't make for a blogging mood. But I'm feeling much better this week, especially after my awesome weekend! The sun was shining and there wasn't a single cloud in the sky in Portland... This is a rarity in February people! Corey and I indulged... a lot... Here are some iphone photos from the weekend (mostly featuring food + drink! hehe)... More very soon!

I'm still coming out of the weekend... I needed just one more day to come back to reality... I'll be back tomorrow. Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Peony Bouquet

If you couldn't already tell from the name of my blog, I am quite in love with peonies. They are my all-time favorite flower in the WORLD, and it breaks my heart they aren't available year-round. Seeing as I'm getting married in early August (after the end of peony season), I might find it difficult to accomplish this within our budget, but my ultimate bouquet would just be a full bunch of peonies (white or pink).
