wedding wednesday on tuesday

because my schedule has been everywhere recently i kinda figured it wouldn't be too horrible if i posted this a day early. and i am kinda in love with it and maybe couldn't wait ... serious self control issues over here. but isn't it pretty?

and dare i say reasonably priced? coming in at $1000 ($1500 if you opt for a fitting with the designer in la). oh yeah and it is made of memory fabric with metal threading for adjustable volume ... lovely.

paper cutouts

most amazing paper cutouts by mayuko fujino who also has an etsy shop. happy tuesday.

i'm pretty sure i need this dress

you know to go with my studio! it's true guys, mas and i went down and signed a lease yesterday (me doing the signing him doing the diligent lawyer/sweet husband things). now all that we need to do is rent out current apartment out (anyone in the grover beach.ca area in need?!?!) and all of the stress and bad thoughts will be gone ... well that and i need to find out how to get this dress in my closet.

our weekend part 1

ok guys it was a really good weekend ... hence the part one ... and it started relatively early friday afternoon. i biked to mas' work and we drove home together ... past these :

and these :

that's right, fields of glorious and beautiful flowers. it was insane. i loved it and kinda couldn't believe it.

skin series bud vase

the name kinda creeped me out, but i am very much in like with the concept. these lovely little bud vases are made from the most mysterious material. what looks to be porcelain (at least online) is actually a soft and moldable plastic.

we have nary a bud vase in our possession and i think that is just a wee bit wrong.

the blog is not dead

yesterday mas asked me if my blog was dead. i replied with a very convincing NO (or at least i thought it convincing) and he continued to look at me in that doubtful way. to which i had to reply with too many words about my feelings regarding the world today and our grim housing situation (it's gotten bad guys but i am still holding out hope that it will all work out in the end).

so yes, i spent the last couple of days in a black hole of self-wallowing ... and yes, i figured it was better to leave the blog out of it, because it is after all a place for my pretty things ... and yes i am sorry for disappearing, but you should know, the blog is not dead, it was just on a brief break.

to make everything better i am going to spend the rest of my day twirling and then the posts will come.

i'm swamped

but that doesn't mean i'm not up for showing you some ridiculously amazing ceramics by studio violet. check out the whole site for some pretty pretties.

watches

i have been sans watch for a while now but am reconsidering that choice. this watch isn't very girly or delicate (which i'm not actually sure i am looking for) but it is bright and bold and hanging out in my mind. so maybe i will put it on my birthday list?

cup cakes
