LETTERPRESS

I have been looking for a letterpress that was simple and clean for a few months. I wanted something that felt very personal but wouldn’t break the bank. My bestie is a whiz at paper goods. She always seems to have the best, and know the best.  She is responsible for introducing me to the amazing…
custom note pads (below) that I use daily and now buy as gifts for my friends. Right when I asked her who she recommended for letterpress she instantly said Paper Lovely. Once I pulled their site up I was instantly in love. Kim, the founder, is super talented and really understands how to keep it simple but still let your name pop.
Hand written thank you notes are very important to me. Growing up my mother used to make my brother, sister, and I sit at the table and write them to everyone who gifted us something for our birthday or Christmas. I used to want to cry but now I am so grateful she taught me to do this. I can’t wait to send these customized cards out thanking anyone I had the pleasure of working with on M.A.S.

side note- I am in the market for new business cards. Do ya’ll have any recommendations?

QUOTE IT

I LOVE quotes. My best friend and I read them all the time and turn to them when we need advice. We used to have a blog together where quotes were a main component and I miss that. After thinking about it I decided Friday was a great day to post a little burst of inspiration.

I knew this one was the perfect way to start it off as my mom is coming in town for a girls weekend. Girls weekend entails lots of champagne and yummy food; two of my true loves. However,  I better not eat too much because…duh duh dum… MY DRESS IS HERE!! After almost five months of waiting it finally arrived yesterday.  I can’t wait to just look at it and touch it (total bride moment). I am dying to share it with you all.

Okay, so on to another topic I need help with, the honeymoon. The fiance and I don’t know where we want to go or if you totally splurge or save. We both really want to re-do his closet and add a great bar. To go all out on the house or the honeymoon? Do any of ya’ll have advice? Would you rather have a really killer honeymoon or honeymoon (smaller) and closet and bar? I am leaning toward the latter only because we will be living in the house and can travel whenever we want but I know you only have one honeymoon so I need outside advice.

I hope you all have a happy and safe weekend. If you are just now catching up on M.A.S. from the week, here is what you missed:
1/13/13- RING RING
1/15/13- CAVIAR
1/16/13- THE, SOFIE LYDDON (my favorite of the week)

THE, SOFIE LYDDON

Have you ever met someone and immediately felt humbled by their talent? I felt that way when I met up-and-coming designer, Sofie Lyddon (website under construction). She is effortlessly cool and has more design talent in one finger than I could hope to have in my entire body. When you see her designs they make you stop, stare, then have you wishing you were wearing them. 

Knowing her talents I commissioned her to design a top for me. She sent pictures of the progress along the way but nothing prepared me for how beautiful it was in person. The detailed design, color, and movement of the fabric was different than anything I had seen before. She captured everything I could want in a piece and did it without me having to say a word. I CAN NOT wait to wear this one-of-a-kind on my blog!  
Also, the back is one of my favorite parts about this top but I am saving that for next time (stay tuned). In the mean time, keep her on your radar! 

Also, I have the winner of the Maddy Nash clutch! CONGRATULATIONS Jessica Sweatt! I will be e-mailing you shortly 🙂 

LASTLY, Check out the things that make me happy on Brighton The Day! Love this series!!!
