A Week of Pins

Oh, how precious is this?! This growth chart from Petite Lemon features a delightful mermaid and her adorable sea friends. Your little missy will be enchanted when she sees her very own mermaid tracking her height!

Seen just about everywhere, the versatile multi way Hipknoties are just about the next best thing to sliced bread. Since every woman's figure is unique, Hipknoties are *the* best garment! 1 piece - 30 ways.

Okay, so this 50s Bamboo Rocker from One King's Lane is a little too expensive for my wallet but that doesn't stop for absolutely adoring it (or pinning it)! I especially love how the linen seat brings out the warm tones of the bamboo. {swoon}

I found this silk rose necklace from Green Bride Guide. It features hand stitched silk roses and leaves on a satin ribbon chain.

{Comes in Sand, a 2014 Wedding Color Trend alert!}

I swear, I think Minted has *the* cutest printed cards and invitations. The best thing about Minted is that the designs are made from a collection of normal folks like me and you. If you are a design genius, then you definitely should hook up with them. :)

2014 Wedding Color Trends

If these colors are any indication of what 2014 brings, it's going to be an *awesome* year! From crisp Celosia Orange to the neutral Sand, these Pantone colors are going to be all over the runway and pinterest in the upcoming months. Which ones are your favorites?

Cayenne is a medium {light} shade of red and closely resembles coral. Cayenne is darker and has more blue in its base than traditional Coral which can be almost orange'y. Cayenne pairs well with neutrals for an added spicy heat.

Celosia Orange is a medium light shade of red-orange. This color reminds me of the sun setting and would be fabulous paired with Violet Tulip. Celosia Orange has fun, optimism and spontaneity written all over it.

Dazzling is the *perfect* word to describe this brilliant, and lively blue.

Are you as in love with this sparkling yellow as I am?! Freesia Yellow will not only be gracing the wedding circuit this spring, I'm betting it will be all over the runways as well!

Similar to the leafy shade of springtime foliage, Hemlock is a summer'y, ornamental green, and provides a decorative touch that's very different from the greens of recent seasons.

Paloma grey is a versatile color that can be worn alone or paired with any other color for a brilliant and interesting combination.

Placid Blue reminds me of a comforting blue sky. It just screams peace and inspiration to me. :)

Feeling adventurous? Radiant Orchid is a more bold version of Violet Tulip and is the perfect choice for a springtime wedding.

Sand is a lightly toasted and charming neutral. For me, it conjures images of the beaches and burlap and the cheerful days of summer. Pairing Sand with Hemlock would be a perfect, natural balance.

Violet Purple is a dreamy purple that evokes whimsical vintage qualities.

DIY Weekly Round Up| Weddings!

Okay, so most of you know that I'm on wedding duty for my niece. She's getting married in October and we're basically putting it together ourselves - we're getting loads of ideas from pinterest but we're also getting ideas from the world wide web. At this point, we've basically all our 'to-do's down on paper so all that's left is to get busy. (that's the hard part!) lol The more ideas we have, the more ideas we find so narrowing everything down has been quite challenging. Here's a few ideas we came across this week.

Who knows, you may need 'em!
