I'm Victoria, craft designer, creative director and founding editor of Styled. magazine. I have a crazy passion for merry making! Read more here. Contact me (asubtlerevelry at gmail).
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.

Could there be a better way to view rain? I just adore this statement and the very happy photo.

If you ever needed a reason to celebrate, here it is….

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.

A goal of mine this fall is to spend more weekends dreaming! Taking time to let my mind wander, to dwell on things that are beautiful and true, giving myself space from the hustle of my organized week. I want my design work to stem from desire and dreams, not tasks and lists.
It is in this spirit that I will be sharing something I am dreaming of on Friday’s with you. A find that has been dog-eared to think upon as I sit lazily on the porch (a mom can hope atleast)…

I would love to know what those book pages have to say, such a peaceful scene... And not to leave the value of organization completely behind…
PS. Next week we are kicking off fall with the rustic engagement party photos, finally:) Throw on a sweater this weekend and drink your first warm cider in preparation.

Happy Tuesday! Since this week is a short one, I thought we’d start it with a bang…
These pinatas are just too much fun! I love how bright and bold they are (great for a grown-up birthday) + the top one could seriously double as a disco ball.
If you visit the shop you can check out the materials and watch the process of creation. I love that more and more shops are giving us customers a peak into their handmade craftiness!
blessings.
I often hear laments from people with homes that are not suited to throw celebrations. May I direct your attention to an amazing work of art, Mon repos aux Tuileries…

This photo reminds me, with the right outlook any place can be primped up & made ready to celebrate, even an old van run amuck in a Paris fountain!
PS. Have a fabulous holiday weekend.

Last weekend I styled a party for a 3 year old princess- It was lovely and magical with shades of pink popping out everywhere. Here is a very tiny sneak peak…
Party photos HERE & the first of the party’s DIY projects, which might be my favorite kids DIY of all time HERE! Girls are so much fun, don’t you think?
blessings.
I have been so eager to share this inspirational shoot with you. Plum Love was a lesson in monochromatic color as we sought to bring shade of purple to light amidst a backdrop of white & silver. I collaborated with two amazing gals, Jackie Wonders and Leigh Anne from The Floral Lab to create the stunning display.
Head on over to Nonpareil mag issue #5 where you can see the complete spread + DIY instructions for many of the pieces included (We are on the cover-eek:). I will be back later with a couple extra photos and ideas from the day, but first, our inspiration board.
blessings.
