Friday Friyay

It is most definitely the weekend. Because it's 1 p.m. and I am red-day to get outta here!

I've been entirely negligent of my baby (sad face) due to busy, busy weeks at work and working on posts for "It was love when", so here is a boatload of images I've been hoarding and meaning to put up. Cause inspiration is the best of gifts, am I right?

And what's been on my mind? Valentine's Day. Most definitely.

And if I had a really great pair of trousers at my beck and call:

Oh, hands down I would wear this on my Valentine's date.

I took a little departure from masculine-feminine, and I've definitely been channeling 3rd arrondissement-Parisian chick -- light, dewy make up with fringe-y lashes and wide eyes and lots of sleek polka-dots a la Stella McCartney. Photos of Valentine's Day to come after the 14th!

Breakfast at Tiffany's

For some odd reason, I've had these pangs to watch this movie (...for the x time) again, if not for style/interior inspiration (it does have the most iconic dress in Hollywood history), then just for some romantic (is that the right word?) inspiration. You know -- that feel good intrinsic...thing (gosh, I'm being incredibly articulate today) that comes from a story that takes two characters with real-world flaws and gives them unreal love. I just need my new loveseat (which I'm picking up this weekend!) to curl up on and a bottle of white. And time -- that's important, too.

How is it that every shot of this film is a friggin poster? It's ridiculous.

God after my own heart -- He always provides in the most unexpected ways.

The Weekend Post

Hey lovelies. There's a wedding happening tomorrow! And while I'm not attending, it's exciting all the same to see old faces back in town, and I'm kind of embarrassed to admit how much I'm looking forward to the pictures. I love weddings. It's a celebration of love, and dancing, and candles, and flowers, and handwritten vows, and a ridiculously indulgent, big, white dress, and everything beautiful -- what's not to love?! So in the same spirit, here's some weddin' lovin'. Congratulations Grace and Nate!!

Natural. And perfect.

"Spread the Love" wedding favors. How clever is that?!

Forget diamonds.

Well, unless it looks like this.

Or this. Actually...diamonds are fine.

Loubies are fine, too.

Or better yet, Wellies.

Tons of votives = Completely romantic

And these things are all great, but we all know the most important thing in a wedding is

the dessert table. Kidding! (sort of)

It's the bride and groom...

and family and friends and champagne and celebration and laughter and love.

Wedding gift for the newlyweds

My future hubby and I will be doing this after our wedding. You can quote me.

I'll leave you with a photo from one of the most unreal wedding shoots ever.

And me? I'm pretty busy this weekend, too. Norman's parents are visiting, and we're gonna show 'em the town! (The parts with central heating systems.)

Have a love-filled weekend.
