i am obsessed with instagram... twitter with photos. one of my new favorite things. well, now i am taking it to the next level with instaWATCH which is wearable photo art. the site allows you to upload your favorite instagram photo to use as the watch face. you choose your band color and off you go with a personalized piece that might actually make you smile when you find out you are already late for something... check out the site here and grab yours! here are a couple of my own creations... as much as i love the colored bands i am really digging the clear!

Feature Friday :: b a r o q u e ::

hello and happy friday! as you can see the leaves are falling and soon enough we'll have to bust out the tights, but not just yet! i discovered this fantastic new site out of australia and i am obsessed. they have super cute stuff that is decently priced and free shipping on orders over $25. baroque patterns are hoppin' up everywhere and i like the idea because they can be dressed up or down. another thing i'm liking? blue and black. pura vida and thanks for visiting, K








dress, boohoo :: sunnies, michael kors (in stores only, this pair is awesome) :: earrings, forever 21 (old, but cute flower studs here) :: bracelets, vintage rope chain necklace wrapped as bracelet (similar here) + link bracelet handmade by courtney (if you would like one, get in touch with me!) :: shoes, bcbg girls (old, but cool style here) :: bag, MMS (TJ Maxx, but I LOVE this one) :: lip, Illamasqua in Howl

what do V8 and Levi's have in common?

I am loving these commercials... both for very different reasons. The first is hilarious and this dude reminds me of someone I met in college which makes it even better. V8 is steppin' it up. I have always been a fan anyway (the mini cans are just the right amount) and it is a great option for a bloody mary. ZIP ZIP ZIP ZIP!! Woooooooooo!!




This second one from Levi's has my full attention. They have done some solid commercials in the past, but the narration and videography are more capturing then ever... and much more entertaining than watching middle aged women prancing around in jeans drinking orange juice. Go Forth!



Also a couple health tips for the day: if you only buy two things that are organic make it apples and strawberries. This is the perfect time for a lil' pickin' so do it up! I recently ran out of kitchen cleaner that I use to wipe the surfaces down, etc. Try this mix up for size: 1C water, 1C white vinegar, 1TBS Baking Soda... and add a couple drops of essential oil so it doesn't smell like donkey. I love bergamot (find it here). Add a couple drops to olive oil for a back rub too! oo la la! Mix the concoction in a bowl before dumping it into a spray container because when you add the baking soda it's like a third grade volcano experiment.

Newport Wedding :: Programs & Welcome Itinerary ::

I recently designed ceremony programs and itinerary cards to inform guests on the wedding weekend agenda as they arrived to their hotel. For the programs, Kristin wanted a classic color scheme with a gold cover, ivory pages and navy silk ribbon. The welcome cards added a touch of nautical with anchor accents. We are currently working on her thank you note cards with the couples new monogram so I will be sure to post those when they are done! She has amazing taste and I can't wait to see photos from her special day! Thanks Kristin!
