Starting a new guest series that will showcase a bit of party inspiration mad lib style on Monday’s. Today the inspiration for the series via That kind of woman.
A formal fancy bacon party. My love for bacon combined with my love for fancy parties. Yesss.
Hoping for a bit of quirk to start our weeks together and to introduce you to some of my favorite idea makers around.

Holly always finds the most amazing new designers to showcase, when I saw this table designed by Cecilie Manz last week I was astonished. Not so much for the table as for the detailed photography design, which is one of my favorites ever! Love… love… love… the play on heavy earthy elements with a note of perfect childish whimsy.
I have begun to collect a pile of inspirational photography designs for an exciting project I am working on next year. If I had to choose a perfect style for my dreams of what this new project would be- this design is it. Looking forward to sharing how I’ll use the different elements very soon.

In the midst of all our holiday hoopla, I almost for got to tell you- we are having a very special birthday party for my sweet little babies who are turning two this week and not really babies at all these days!
I have been immersed in vintage storybook design all week in preparation and I cannot wait to celebrate their unique and special story. This frog trapped in a bottle perfectly portrays the whimsical notions that have inspired the magical birthday design.
I have also drawn fabulous inspiration from the storybook looks here, here, here, here & here. Have a happy weekend and I look forward to filling you in on the festive styling soon.
PS. Next week my favorite of the Christmas designs will be up!

Just in case you are not quite yet feeling the holiday spirit for our Celebrate Joy Handcrafted Challenge- spend a few moments flipping through the new Gifted magazine created by Ez at Creature Comforts.

Just released today, it is filled with wonderful holiday inspiration, DIY projects and a special behind the scenes section featuring the creative design process of a few of my favorite artisan crafters. May I also suggest reading it with a Caramel Sea Salt Hot Chocolate to truly encourage your celebrating spirit- my absolute favorite holiday drink. Enjoy!

After a fabulous day of shooting a holiday play date at the beach (sneak peak soon). I am off to enjoy a cozy dress up weekend with my family. Do you dress up for Halloween?

This has been my busiest week of the season. I am styling a party tomorrow that I think you will love, plus designing a shoot next week inspired by Ralph Lauren, and I’ve been working on another fun project coming soon. Being this busy has reminded me how much I absolutely adore what I get to do!
On that note… handmade confetti strewn about a floor of distressed wood- for us to dream of together this weekend.

I am having so much fun sharing the wonderful party designs with you this week. Fall inspiration has been alive and well here, I hope you are loving it! I am also looking forward to getting back to normal next week by sharing two events that I have recently styled + a few great new celebration projects.
A sneak peak of what is coming up…
Because no princess party is complete without a hot pink swing!

A brand new design source made its debut this week, Rue magazine. It is filled with incredible artistic and design inspiration, two fun parties + they even included free printables. A lovely way to spend an hour this weekend.

Aren’t these chocolates fun?
You can buy them here. I adore them all, especially the ones that say joyful, hopeful & grateful. They will be the perfect touch of sweetness for an upcoming shower or perhaps a cheery swing on Halloween.
