3x The Charm

:: Have you read Bright Bazaar’s new book? I’ve been a huge fan of his blog for a long time, so when he came out with a book all about color & design I couldn’t get it fast enough. You can purchase it here – but consider this a warning – you will want to redo your entire apartment/house after you’re done indulging.

:: I’ve been invited to be a contributor over at Wedding Party, where I’ll write about tips, tricks, ideas and inspiration for planning a wedding every month. My first blog post was released this week – naturally I went the Kate Middleton route. {Have any ideas that you’d like to see written about? Send them my way and I’ll be sure to include them in the round up of contributions.} Speaking of weddings, my second shower is this weekend. I’ll be wearing the most amazing dress that I found on Etsy – follow along on Instagram for the big reveal! Here’s a little hint: It involves lots of tulle. In other personal wedding news, Dougy and I are going back on forth on a big decision: What color gingham? Decisions, decisions…

:: With the rising temperatures, I’ve been getting out of bed bright and early, motivated to start the day. I’ve been trying to work out at least 4 times a week, and I definitely think warmer weather has helped with this. It’s so much easier to get up when you’re met with sunshine. It’s even made a difference in my productivity and general mind frame. Over the winter, I tend to forget how much being outside and near the water is a happy place for me. There, you see little snippets of magic, like when a wave waved at me. Of course I always wave back.

To all the mothers out there, especially my own, you are amazing. I hope you have a weekend filled with love and lots of reminders of just how special you are. xo
