Friday already - I'll take it! What a crazy little week it's been...  I'm looking forward to catching up on sleep and some good blog reads.  In fact, I feel so out of the loop lately I would love it if you would post a link to your favorites to get me started!

Our weekend plans include a visit from a Tennessee friend which will likely lead to playing tourist in our city - my favorite! I'm also putting the finishing touches on a party I'm hosting next Sunday, more fun details to come ;)

Here a few favorites from around the web this week:

Oscar Moms 

Weirdly awesome soaps you can buy on Etsy.

Handsome man in a suit, 'nuf said.

Summer Fiesta inspiration with the cutest invitation ever!

Reflections on Mother's Day without Mom

This Carmel Valley wedding has me swooning. The dress, the ring, the flower headband!!

Babies!!! The documentary releases this weekend and it looks fascinating. Watch the high def trailer here. 


I hope you all have a fabulous one. To all the Mom's out there  - Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Friday!

I have been so moved the blogging community this week. You are truly a wonderful network of people.  I appreciate every comment and interaction - you inspire me so much! This week has been a little emotional and your kindness couldn't come at a better time. I was honored to be nominated for Little Known Lovelies by Some Kind of Style - such a sweetheart! You should definitely check out her blog, fashionistas will love it! It feels similar to reading a magazine, just easy and enjoyable. (You can also keep up on Twitter.)

The fabulous Frenchie Susu also surprised me with a wonderful answer  to my question about macarons (not to be confused with macaroons). If you haven't visited her blog, Susu Paris Chic, I insist you pop on over, it's like taking a daily trip to France! You'll love her outfit documentations against the beautiful Parisian backdrop. (Today's black and berry combination with fierce boots is especially smashing.)  Susu doesn't know it but I've been obsessed with Paris since childhood, for many years my bedroom was filled with Eiffel Towers posters & figurines. Having only visited once I like taking a daily trip through her blog :)  Thank you Susu!

Here are a few more of my favorites from around the web this week. I hope you have a fabulous weekend! I'm looking forward to a very cheesy party tonight - a grilled cheese party that is - in celebration of National Grilled Cheese Month of course!

Oh Joy's Astrology cards - I should buy one of each to have on hand...

Madonna through the years, what a chameleon

Toilet Paper Origami - wish I would've done this for our overnight guest last night. Strange but delightful, no?

Panic Poster - a twist on a classic, I can definitely relate!
