bee-utiful

Gorgeous, simple, white and gold wedding invitation suite by Sugar Paper. I love the metallic honeycomb envelope lining and the bumble-bee silhouette, so chic.

the urban girls manifesto

I picked up one of these sassy CRAVE guide books this weekend. These uber-cool new guide books include shopping, pampering and dining suggestions. I can't wait to go visit all the amazing places they recommend in Los Angeles. They also have guide books for many other cities world-wide.

one for one

 

Lovin' these new grosgrain Toms sold exclusivly at Neiman Marcus. Not only are Toms the most comforatble summer shoes, but  buying a pair of these shoes also helps support a great cause. Toms Shoes was founded on a simple premise: With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One.

unexpected color

I have been eyeing these colorful toilet paper rolls by Renova for some time now. 

bananas!

Last week was the season premier of the Rachel Zoe Project on Bravo. Other than completely falling in love with the amazing clothes, shoes, and accessories, I also fell in love with these amazing yellow table lamps in Rachel's home... I die.

flower power

This weekend I went to the Huntington Library botanical gardens with my husband and a few friends. It was absolutely amazing to see all the different species of plants by region, I especially loved the rose garden. It really reminded me that one of the fastest, most inexpensive ways to decorate and add some color is to have a beautiful flower arrangement. I love these beautiful coral peonies my mom used to decorate the house last year for our wedding. They grow to be about 7 inches in diameter, and turn from this intense coral color to pale blush almost white. They are pretty amazing.

sweet scentiment

Sweet little greeting cards from Peach Mailbox. These original scented cupcake cards are hand-stitched and scented just like real cupcakes... yummy.

not your grandfather's cabin

This beautiful concrete house designed by BAK Architects in the forest of Mar Azul, Argentina would be such a peaceful weekend retreat from the everyday chaos of city life. This is my kind of camp ground!

Have a great weekend.

instant party

Fujifilm has come up with a fantastic, compact, and fun replacement for old polariod cameras, the Instax Mini 7. I was recently at a party at my friends house where he unveiled this little gem and it really captured some amazing moments. The best part was that all the photo printing happened instantly, so it made adding more photos to the refrigerator a piece of cake.

say a little prayer for me

 

I am so in love with these stunning mezuzahs by Metalace Art, an Israeli home accessories company, I have 3 of them hanging in our home. I love the technique of making metal look like lace its so delicate and innovative.

old becomes fabulous

These one-of-a-kind necklaces from Elva Fields are so romantic. They are made using vintage broaches, beads, and other recycled bits and pieces. These necklaces are truly statement pieces, and I love the way they dress up any plain white tee.
