what a week… Just in case you didn’t make it to Thursday’s event. Here’s a recap of what turned out to be an amazing evening (or even if you did - it was pretty crowded so a little tough to see). Follow up here from F!D and thank you to Judy for her write up here and Haley for this sweet post here.
Thanks to all who attended and helped! It was a stylish and spectacular evening.

the best laid plans… I fully intended to preview more pieces as I went along but it’s been a bit of a whirlwind! I thought I would put up a bit more before tonight just so you can see a few additional goodies I had to work with (these are only a few of course)…it’s a full apartment really sans bedroom and closet.
I’ll check back in with you next week. I’m thrilled to show you a wonderful little home I shot a couple of weeks ago! So stay tuned. Have a great weekend friends and hope to see you this evening if you live in the area. If not, we will take lots of photos and I’ll do a follow up post with photos of the space as soon as I get them from the photographer.

I know it’s kinda crazy… but kinda lovely. Yes? A friend of mine from college is involved with the JLD Spring Fashion Show Rock the Runway and asked me to “rethink” a tote bag as a part of the silent auction. They gave out several totes, very simple, canvas roughly 10 x 12 ish and we could do whatever we wanted. Thought I would share my solution (it was due today…well, last week really!). It’s made of mostly of one of my favorite materials - CHEESECLOTH - (I know, I hear ya…it’s a showpiece people). I really wanted to change the shape of the bag but then still allow the bag itself to be peek out a little. I think it’s light, happy and hip. I could totally see it on the runway with an all white outfit. Final size was about 18 inches wide and 36 inches tall I think… more pics below of my little DIY.

newsflash… I’ve got a thing for all things white. Shocker. We know this. So I’m sure I don’t have to tell you how THRILLED I was when FD Luxe asked me to do a product round up around my favorite color and trend of the moment. Hello?! Happy girl! I’ve really had so much fun with FD, thus far. I’ve written about all things that pretty much sum up my happy place: Fort Worth, letterpress, chocolate, flowers and now all things white — it’s a tough job but somebody has got to do it.
Closer details on the pages below but you can check out the issue online here with an awesome little zoom feature. Can not tell you how cool it is to look at an issue this way. Check it out here. Screen grab below…
Happy Friday all!!
