Pink Holidaze

I just spotted this wedding on MSW for the first time and it's soooo beautiful...the venue was absolutely gorgeous and of course, the flowers were done by Saipua and the calligraphy by Betsy Dunlap . What more could one ask for? Oh, and her hair?! It's awesome!

I stumbled upon the blog Make It Lovely via StyleMePretty today and I'm totally a believer! The writer owns Pink Loves Brown , a fun company with stationary, buttons, and these absolutely amazing paper suitcases. They're too stinkin' cute! Aaaand, most of her house is pink, her Christmas tree was pink (top two photos), but most of all...it's not disgusting. I think she's my new hero.

I heart Easter. A lot. Which means...I will have to tame myself when it comes to decorations. At this point I have only bought two. Yes, TWO. Ha! :) A sweet little lamb and a cute little glitter cupcake topped with a bunny (which sits under a glass cloche), both from Pier1 . I'm slightly obsessed with the cupcakes ...I'm dreaming of a two-tiered cake stand full of them. Here you go...

This is exactly what Rosie told my mom the other day...only after declaring, "Cookie, we're having a party for you!" haha. Needless to say, the party wasn't a surprise, but we had lots of fun celebrating Cookie's birthday with a small group of family and friends (we max out in our house at about 15 people:). Here are some snapshots (the shots of more of the group didn't turn out too well).

Old fashioned? Maybe. Fun? Most definitely. Calling cards are too cute! This is just a taste... Kate Spade Awning Stripe. SimpleSong Calligraphy Letterpress . A somewhat masculine card . Moontree press .

I was just browsing on simple song and spotted these gorgeous flowers . So pretty...too bad they're based in Barcelona! I love how the renanculas (how hard is that to spell, seriously!) are in a bowl with a spoon. So yummy, they're like food. :)

I got a message from my mom yesterday telling me she was listening to NPR and they had a fun piece of news: Macaroons are the new cupcake according to some food experts! Wahoo! Not that I want cupcakes to move out of the way...I like them just the same for all different reasons, but macaroons are just so fun. You can read the story here . Happy Valentines Day, everyone!! Heather's great Valentines Day post has put me in the mood!! :) Here are a few "sweet" photos to add the the Valentines collection...an amazing Amy Atlas Dessert Bar via StyleMePretty and The Brides Guide . :) (Amy Atlas is working that cupcake/macaroon combo herself!) Now off to get ready for a wonderful day in St. Louis and a bound-to-be amazing meal at 1111 Mississippi . Very excited.
