I haven't left the country (again)... I have just been a bit Lazy!

I admit that it has taken me a while to get back into the swing of the real world after our European Holiday, I am still fighting going to sleep by 9 every night! Is it jet lag or old age, who knows! Tonight I ventured to the Paisley Umbrella for a little visit with the girls and came away with some of the sexiest shoes, I love Ann Roth of Ann Roth Shoes! 

I also have a chance to meet Melanie from Lucky Paperie and I was in awe of her work. Of course I came right home and googled her site and thought I would share it with you. Check out her insightful wedding blog at: www.luckypaperie.blogspot.com. After visiting her blog I came across the below story board, and if you have read my blog in the past... you know I love Mustard & Gray together! 

Now... Expect some exciting changes in the next few weeks out of me, my website and my blog.

Ann Roth Shoes - Love it!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending a few hours with Ann of Ann Roth Shoes, and I had a blast shooting pictures of her shoes. Talk about a kid in a candy store, wow! I love her shoes!
You can visit her website via the link above and u will fall in love too!

New colors - Love it!

As a photographer, I am excited to see some of the new color waves in Wedding Decor. More and more you see people using multiple hues of the same color rather than just one solid color and then mixing it up with new color combinations that you haven't seen before. Check out these storyboards....... who wouldn't want to attend these parties?

1st - Here are images I found on Rebecca Thruss's website. I love the deep purple & mustard combo.

2nd - This lovely storyboard is from "Style Me Pretty's" color contest. Who would have thought yellow and grey would be so pretty?

I also found this invite on Wedding Paper Divas (whom I LOVE) and thought it matched the grey and mustard PERFECTLY!

Tiny Prints - Love it!

I had a friend call me today and ask me my opinion on a birth announcement and right away I thought about Tiny Prints!

I am a huge fan of getting pictures in the mail, so this is to die for!

Happy Birthday to me

Yesterday to celebrate my upcoming birthday, my assistant presented me with the coolest pair of shoes! Love them! The crazy thing, they are by Carlos... as in Carlos Santana! How does a Latin man go from playing the guitar to designing women's shoes???

Weekend Travel

My 34th birthday is mid July and I am shopping for a short get away for my husband and I. While doing so, I thought that I could share with you some of the amazing places I have stayed and loved.

The Sagamore Hotel - Miami.
I LOVE this place, anyone who enjoys art and the sun could fall in love with this cute boutique South Beach hotel.
Rosemary Beach - Florida
Two years ago for my birthday, my husband and I spent a weekend in Rosemary Beach and you really could not ask for a quieter more peaceful place to get away. With its amazing architecture, private pools & miles of private paths, Rosemary Beach is a place you will want to return to time and time again.
Cheeca Lodge - Florida Keys
An oasis in the keys like no other, warning there is no starbucks in the keys! But the Strawberry Daiquiri's are amazing!!!!
The inn @ Half Mile Farm
Highlands N.C getaway perfect for two.
Serenbe- South of ATL
Of course, I could not leave out Serenbe!

Sugar & Spice - my style

I am always changing things around in my house, my husband will come home and laugh, shake his head and walk away. If I ask him if he likes it, he will say, "you will change it anyway". And that is somewhat true.

I also get obsessed with one room at a time, and I can not sleep for a week because my mind races with thoughts. With that said, right now it is my daughters room (see below, it was the bathroom last week).

Although I try to not buy everything from Pottery Barn in fear of having the same room that 10,000 other people have, I love this room. It reflects McKenna's personality perfectly and well, she is a mini me!

Gone to the birds - Love it!

As I sit here listening to the birds sign that have nested in the chimney at out house, this image that I found on line came to mind. A new idea in design is to skip the mural or wallpaper and use decals or wall stickers. I love this bedroom:

The bedding is by Dwell Studio and the wall decals are from urban outfitters, however they seem to be an item of the past, I am still trying to talk my husband into letting me do this look in our master bath.

Blog Mania

You can find a world of info on the internet, blogs being on of the best ways. Last night I came across two blogs that I love! One for wedding planning ideas that blow me away: snippetandink. Here is a picture I grabbed from her blog:

and the other site that I love is: isuwannee, this site is like looking at a magazine but you saved the $4.00!

Enjoy!

Angela Adams

I have decided to create a new blog category titled: Love it! So many times I come across something or someone offering something cool and think, wow... I should blog this. So here I am, this is a little way for me to share my style & my personality with you.

Today I purchased a new rug from Armor & Co. and I love it. It is by Angela Adams.
