It was so visually inspiring, and it reminded me of an older article I had up on my inspiration board.

From the oh so fabulous clothes, to the decor in the rooms, and that scene where she is surrounded by sweet things! The macaroons above are from Ladurée, the best macaroons ever! I am definitely creating an invitation suite inspired by this. Stay Tuned! [...]

I stumbled across the most amazing handmade journals by The Blackspot Books the other day while perusing etsy. I am absolutely smitten. There is something so completely magical and unique about a book made from old leather, each with it’s own story. Like the book shown below made from an antique doctor’s bag. The way Margaux describes [...]
