Hopefully you aren't too sick of my adoration for Anthropologie yet? Because I got two pretty pieces of mail from them this week {in the midst of my bills and flyers} and I just had to share. Each piece is simple, but well designed and cuter than can be. I'm scratching my head at how they were able to pull off these seemingly handmade pieces for a mass mailing though. They are just too clever!
Some of our casual and pretty white centrepieces are featured in the Fall/Winter 2009 issue of Wedding Bells magazine! See above for the article on the top right of the page {you can click the photos to make them larger}. Thanks so much to the great gals at Wedding Bells, and also to Jessica who helped make it happen with her awesome tweets!
Here are a few teaser shot of my sister's Vintage Circus Wedding that took place last weekend...as I mentioned, we can't show too many shots until they are published in a magazine in December, but I can barely contain myself, so I just had to share a few!
As you know, I am a sucker for botanical prints. And in addition to large vintage botanical prints, I also love the look of this symmetrical 'collection' too - it has huge impact! I recently found this great blog that features many free high-res vintage botanical prints. Hmmm...not sure if it is legal to distribute copyright images like these but ah well...get 'em while they're hot!
Yay...my favourite girl won the title of Canada's Next Top Model last night! I had a lady crush on Meaghan from the beginning and was hoping she would win. Normally the very exotic brunettes win though, not the blue-eyed blonds, so I was quite surprised. Not only is Meaghan lovely, but she actually seemed to be one of the nicer girls on the show. Nikita not so much!
My sister Shayna's circus wedding is fast approaching! In fact, it is on Saturday and it looks like everything is in order!
these are my accessories - an over-sized fabric flower from Le Chateau
these are my yellow {and extremely comfy} heels from the Kenneth Cole store in Chicago.
1. took in the view from our upgraded hotel room {I think they thought we were newlyweds and we didn't dispute...2 years is still newly wed, no?}
2. went on a riverboat architecture tour {such great buildings in Chicago!}
3. shopped and shopped on the Magnificent Mile {and admired the colourful streetside gardens along the way}
4. perused the Art Institute of Chicago and marveled at the pointillism in A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte {Georges Seurat}...this painting is gigantic! We also saw American Gothic {Grant Wood}...and you thought the painting was creepy! Check out this scary sculpture.
5. remember this fountain from the opening of Married With Children?
6. took photos in this cool mirror ball thingie {Cloud Gate Sculpture} at Millenium Park
7. enjoyed the beach and walked along Lake Michigan
8. shopped again and then admired the beautiful Tiffany's ceiling at Marshall Field's-now-Macy's.
9. took the 'L' {elevated Train} to Wrigley Field where we caught a Cubs game and laughed at the houses across the street that converted their rooftops to bleachers with great views of the game. Genius actually!
10. saw a free concert at noon at the most amazingly beautiful outdoor concert venue {Jay Pritzker Pavillion}...Frank Gehry yay!
11. ate way too many lemon bars at the Corner Bakery Cafe, but definitely walked them off. I had to toss out a pair of shoes...which means I have to buy another pair...and P. knows how much of a hardship that is for me to buy another pair of shoes :)
12. snapped a license plate pic for my growing collection
Check out these quirky succulent boutonierres from Studio Choo. And their adorable business card too! {found via Saipua}.
