thinking about...

...the stunning photography of Kari Herer.

This is such a beautiful and clever backdrop for a wedding ceremony, and the flowers can double as gifts! I spotted a metal flower stand just like this over at Surroundings Consignment a few days ago. The price was $1000 which seems steep but I'm sure you could bargain. Anyone in South Florida in need?

the girl has style

I can completely identify, at least aesthetically, with Rubie Green textile designer and owner Michelle Adams. She makes ecologically and socially responsible decisions, has spot-on taste, and seems like the nicest girl you could hope to meet. I follow her blog, and she recently posted photos of her lovely, green, revamped-on-a-budget apartment as seen in Real Living. I could move in right now! She took inspiration from Italy's JK Capri, which I may be obsessed with visiting. Someday I'd like to have her fabric on one of our vintage chairs.

I keep coming back to this photo again and again. Praia Piquinia by Christian Chaize, found on the neat site 20x200.
