Inspiration from my desk No.2

I thought it would be fun to share with you from time to time the bits of inspiration that come across my desk. This beauty from 1918 is what is inspiring me right now. There is something so visually inspiring about old ads from the 1920's. The other thing I love about these old ads, is not only the visual inspiration, but the fact that so many of them are absolutely hilarious! I could read these and laugh all day. I mean "Hump Hair Pins"!...READ MORE

Let them eat cake!

Ok so I have a huge obsession with Ladurée macaroons. Ever since clients of mine brought me a box home from their honeymoon in Paris I have had a major weakness for these light and airy, delicious masterpieces. I was on their website the other day and became insanely inspired by their storefronts. The decor, details and the brilliance is so amazing I want to transform this into a wedding immediately. It's very Marie Antoinette with a touch of...READ MORE
