luminous
     golden glow
such a magical time
                                                dusk

     gold dripping through the treetops
   cascading, bouncing from mirrored surface
       to mirror surface
the graduation
     of rose-gold-hazy soft azure

just
     pure
            magic

Tumblr

Mmm, addiction to tumblr.  I guess I'm glad that I don't feel the need to obsessively check tumblr because *goodness* there's a lot of lovelies out there -- but I have to admit, whenever I sit down, I am absolutely sucked into seeing what I missed :D  Here's my most recent faves...

Welcome!!


Gluten Free Roses! by Devlisih Cupcakes

Dearest Baby TB:  Welcome to the world, wee one!  I know you arrived, surrounded with more love than you can even fathom at this moment :)    You're a lucky lucky girl to have your parents, even if they did bless you with genes that may make you allergic to, um, just about everything.  But, if their characteristics can be passed on to you genetically :D, you will be brilliant, and kind, and straightforwardly honest, and generous to just about everybody you meet, and will fascinate and tickle all of your friends and family with your hilarity + storytelling skills. 

Not that you need to be or do these things.  Because all you need to ever be is yourself.  And if I were a fairy godmother, that is all I would wish upon you: to be comfortable being you, and to truly love yourself, which leaves no room for doubt.  

We loves you here in Texas, and can't wait to meet you soon!

Kisses, your Tita + Tito Texas

Dear Bee + Y: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, you guys are going to be the bestest parents!  Congratulations!!  Um, I still haven't gotten better at knowing what to say upon the arrival of a baby :D, so let's pretend I'm saying all the things I should be :)  Congrats :)! 

Week's Wedding Lovelies

There was too much wedding beauty to squeeze all of them into my week's favorites post.  Like...


Kari Herer (above + below), via Style Me Pretty


Um, there is no way you could have missed this wedding, but -- just to capture my favorites from the wedding of Jessica Claire (who, my friend L + I both agree, we wish we could be friends with -- not only does her writing reflect how cool + fun + down to earth she must be, but L (and her sis E) played kickball for ... gosh, 15+ years maybe? and JC had the most fabulous 30th bday party: a kick-butt kickball shindig!  Um, I've played kickball... twice maybe, and I totally want a kickball party for my 30th bday! a-hem, digression).

The flowers (and the jeweled detail) + JC's gorgeous gorgeous necklace.

And you know I am in love with these rustic-chic tablescapes. (L, I'm stealing your phrase -- it's so perfect!)





And mis-matched bridesmaids are my so my fave.



And (un-JC related): these.belts.are.awesome -- carried by Utah bridal boutique Alta Moda Bridal, featured on Utah Bride Blog.



Okay, and of course this dress!  (And isn't this bride *the cutest*!)


Bunches of goodness at 100 Layer Cake, like this inspiration board:

o.m.g. I busted out laughing when I finally got this.  Seriously, I must be the last one on earth not to know this, right? (ie, please someone else tell me they hadn't heard of this before?) And of course, I *love* the vintage vibe!

From Mlle. Molly Fryxell at flickr, this lamp (and the pinks!), and the feeling I get *just imagining* I'm opening this box of fabulous shoes!





And finally, because I *have* to stop somewhere:
