We have this poster from the Design Museum in London on the wall above our bed. It’s a print of a photograph by Tim Walker of Lily Cole and I love it. I adore the colour, a sort of aqua, eggshell blue and I love she looks a little like a peacock (our wedding theme) and that it looks a little Moroccan too (one of our favourite holidays). It’s also fashion-y …

Winter in Somerset is beautiful. We are in the South-West of England so we have a more temperate climate than, say, Scotland, or the East coast of England. Palm trees grow down here. The sun seems to shine the most gorgeous shade of amber and the light is very bright but warm. The skies are very blue by day and filled with the most brightest of twinkliest stars by night.

We have been to local late night shopping evenings (the purpose …

If you’re anything like me, December did a pretty good job of sneaking up on you… I still have a perfectly good pumpkin display on my porch, and yet, there are holiday cards popping up in my mailbox on a daily basis!

Yes, it looks like it’s officially time to engage in the December Mall Parking Wars (or, if you prefer, the Will-It-Or-Will-It-Not-Be-Shipped-In-Time-For-Christmas Quiz Show).   To help keep your holiday merry and stress-free, here are a few of my favorite …

I found some amazing necklaces the other day and wanted to share them with you. The beauty of the internet you see. I can show you something that is made in the UK and you can not only look at them but order one too, if you wanted. They are beautiful individual items created from recycled material. My favourites are the ones made from zips and watch parts. The creator is a trainee architect and has quite the eye for …

A few things that are inspiring me right now…

Fall mums in a cheerful yellow pot

Matching pewter candlesticks (a Garage Sale score!) and mirrored tile

Navy blue nail polish (you’re never too old for a little goth) and lemon vanilla ANYTHING!

What’s inspiring you this fall season?

A couple of weeks ago, my family had the joyous occasion of watching my sister and her fiancee be married at my parent’s home in Golden, Colorado.

It was a beautiful backyard wedding: elegant, sweet, and thoughtful.  I had the pleasure of debuting my new floral company, Petaling in Tandem, and I am so thrilled with the photos that I had to share them all with you!

You know how the blog world is. You click on one link, and then another, and then another. That’s how I found Keller&Keller Photography. They frequently shoot for Martha Stewart and other wonderful magazines. It’s now one of my favorite links for photography inspiration. Although because they posted so many pictures of food, I get hungry a lot while surfing the site.

What’s your favorite place for home photography inspiration?

I’m sure most of you are following the Inspired Creations contest over at EAD Weddings. I’m sure, like me, you’ve been blown away by the creativity.  What I love about all of the submissions is that they are perfect for parties! All of the tables had a limit of $500, and most of them used supplies already on hand, Ikea, thrift stores, etc. *Warning* “Perfect” is obsessively used.

If you’re not following, here’s what you’ve been missing…
