I've been drooling over the new Schoolhouse Electric catalog since it came in the mail a few weeks ago.

They've recently expanded their gorgeous collection of light fixtures to also include furnishings and home accessories. 
Love, love, love!




Check out the rest of the catalog here!

Fall has officially arrived whether I like it or not. While I love the changing leaves, cider mills, and new fall clothes like all the rest, the upcoming cold weather is something I've already started to dread. I am not a cold weather girl!

Let's try to focus on the positives here:

Gorgeous leather boots from Cobra Society

The use of pinecones is now seasonally appropriate. (Although I think they are gorgeous all year round!)

New gorgeous frocks from Orla Kiely to pine over. 

The return of tights!! 

Pumpkins & Gourds!


What are you excited about this fall?

Last weekend I had the privilege of coordinating my first Belles Reveries wedding! While the official photographs won't be available for a few weeks, I wanted to share some of my inspiration with you and a sneak peek at part of the final project! 

Below are the images that influenced me the most while transforming the backyard. Check out the entire wedding inspiration gallery here


The bride is one creative lady herself, so it was great to work with someone who wanted her wedding to be beautiful, unique, and handmade! During one of our first meetings she mentioned she liked the look of coffee filter garland and the lovely string orbs below.




The ceremony took place in the backyard of the home where the bride grew up, and the vows were exchanged under a large wood swing set her father had built years before. As soon as I saw the swing set, I knew we had the perfect canvas to transform!

Here's a sneak peak at the swing set during the beautiful ceremony. I created all the flowers out of coffee filters, the hanging garland out of tea stained cupcake liners, and the bride and her bridesmaids made the string orbs. Everyone, including myself, was thrilled with the final transformation!


I had so much fun with this wedding and can't wait to share more pictures with you!

So sorry for the delay...

My life got a little crazy there. Nicholas was in a bike accident and suffered some pretty serious injuries. So I've been changing hats between Nurse Beth, Work Beth, and Belles Reveries Beth. While I haven't been blogging, I have been working on some exciting projects! More on those to come...

Besides coveting a pair of her iconic ballet flats when they first hit Neimans, I'm not typically a Tory Burch kind of girl. I'm not sure why I ended up looking at her Resort 2012 Collection, but I'm so glad I did. It's gorgeous, and quirky, and wonderful!

Now that my hair is getting longer, I'm loving all the different things I can do with it! My Palm Springs staple was definitely the high bun, but I'm dreaming of braids and knots! 

The beautiful crown braid, my favorite.


Ombre knots. 


Love the curled back bangs, so retro and charming.

Can't forget head scarves, my favorite summer accessory!

What a great weekend! It felt like spring, I got to spend time with Nicholas, and my friend Tim's new business venture opened at The Rust Belt Market. Arden Park is ready to serve all of your container garden and garden decor needs! 

Tim has such a great aesthetic and it was so fulfilling to see his work being appreciated by so many!



I want these mushrooms!




 
Visit Arden Park every Saturday and Sunday this month from 11-7!

After seeing Petra Boase's bathroom in Emily Chalmer's new book Modern Vintage Style, (which is fantastic!) I have become very intrigued with swans. I find all these images to be so graceful and calming.

Of course, Bjork. Vespertine leaves me speechless.
