I am in love with all of the mini food options out there...and pies are at the top of my list!
I am a hard-core cake fan but the comfort of a pie seems to make weddings even more personal.
...and the varieties are endless!

sweet and saucy shop
Undeniable cute (especially with the flavor flags and fun shapes) and there are my new obsession. Just hoping I don't make the cupcakes too jealous?!?!
Cheers!
...and the month of August always feels a little bittersweet, as if it were the beginning of summer's end, and the mornings seem a little less hazy and the evenings a little more crisp, and the pace of everyday has begun to quicken, overtaking summer's easy going vibe; but the waters have finally begun to warm, and the stars still light the late night conversations long after the rest of the world has fallen into dreams, and there are still a couple weeks left of beautiful summer.

this sash. I think this would be adorable for a wedding party!
Lulu's Upcycling Lounge. The name alone has a cool vibe - and knowing Lulu personally, she and her upcycled products do not disappoint. I am a huge fan of her necktie clutches too!
She is a vendor at the upcoming Junk Bonanza and her products are showing up in boutiques around the country!
She is always coming up with new and different ways to fashion repurposed and upcycled materials so check out her site and Facebook page. Good stuff.
Cheers!
This made my day yesterday!
There's nothing better than A.) An unexpected package in the mail {I 
mail} and B.) what's inside is a visual map of the choreography to Michael Jackson's Thriller and CD!?!
How fun and creative is this teaser for my friends' big day! A perfect sampler for the energy they bring to any celebration.
OMG. Friday Night Video flashback. It's like riding bike. It's all coming back to me. Fantastic.
And fantastic are Bill & Jess! I am so lucky to be part of the wedding party and help them celebrate. And celebrate we will!
Cheers!
From the Boundary Waters of Minnesota to New York to Tokyo, I have seen people sporting Minnetonka moccasins - and I always feel closer to home!
I the limited edition colors for fall. Truly some of my faves!
Cheers!
I can't believe my sangria-lovin' self is so late to the party with the Calimocho! Where has this been all my life?!? And it's so much fun to say...calimocho!
This Spanish concoction is a worthy signature cocktail that is easy-peasy and a perfectly delightful combination.
Preparation:
50-50 split between a cheap dry red wine (Trader Joe's is always for good this) and Coca-Cola (regular Coke recommended v. Diet or Coke Zero). Ice well. Add a squeeze of lemon and lime. Enjoy!
The wine cuts the sweet and the Coke adds the zing. Yum-O.
Cheers!
I found this little treasure on my my desk. Such a sweet token from a good friend.
Lucky pig. Lucky me.
Wouldn't this be an adorable wedding favor - or on each place setting? Love.
Cheers!
I braids. {And so does The Hunger Games, Game of Thrones and Snow White and the Huntsman!}
For many, a ponytail is their go-to hairstyle in a pinch. Mine has always been braids.
I learned to braid at a VERY young age since I showed horses. It was like earning a badge of honor (if only I could have earned a patch!) when you could braid the mane and tail - and it was show-worthy.
Braids and bows. Who knew? Two great skills learned from my mom...{these and the importance of presentation.}
{Thank you, Mom!}
Fishtails are hot right now so I gathered some of my faves that can work for everday - or the BIG DAY!!
As intricate as it looks, it is amazingly easy to learn with all the tutorials online. Click here for one by BEAUTYLISH that I thought worked well - and I did it on the first try!
For more braids follow my Braid-tastic board on Pinterest!
Cheers!
One of my most favorite recent finds that I was lucky enough to stumble across in all my digging for the latest and greatest hidden treasures...Jeanne Oliver Designs.

Check it out her shop, lookbook and blog...she is also on Etsy. A Vintage Collection well done.

I get all warm and fuzzy when I think of my latte...ahhh! And seeing this neutral in a wedding palette is having the same effect. simple. gorgeous.
It is a perfect pairing for a bold pop of color but my favorite is when layered with other neutrals...blush, tans and browns.

I my Converse All-Stars. And I love that you can now customize them even more! Adds instant personality to the bride & groom - or the entire wedding party.
Cheers!
Along with uber large balloons, I can't get enough of the tassel garland.
I found the perfect tutorial for this DIY on The Sweetest Occasion by Lovely Indeed that I couldn't resist sharing with you. I adore the color palette - especially with the pop of metallic.
Here's the super easy scoop on how you can whip this up for your next party!
You will need:
First, fold one sheet of tissue paper in half width-wise, then fold it over twice length-wise. With your scissors, cut strips of fringe about 1/4" wide along the unfolded short edge of your twice folded tissue, leaving about 2" of uncut tissue at the folded edge.
Unfold your two length-wise folds and cut the tissue in the center, creating two folded halves. Set one aside.
Open your remaining half and lay it out. You should have a sheet of tissue with fringe on both sides and a solid section down the center. Using the solid center section, begin to roll the tissue paper, carefully keeping the fringe untangled.
After the entire section is rolled, twist the center tightly. Then curl it to create a loop and secure with a small dot of hot glue if needed.
Trim the ends to even it out and string your tassel on your cord. Repeat until you have as many as you like!
Hang until your heart's content. These scream fun. chic. fancy. (and wouldn't they be so festive around the holidays?!)
