New York City has always held a certain mysterious air to me that I want to be a part of. It’s a city people from around the world dream of succeeding in, and it’s a city where many people achieve the highs and lows of their lives. Despite all the differences NYC holds in its population, its rocking urban style has remained constant. Inspired by a save the date card featuring an orange skyline designed by Unless Someone Like You, I created an inspiration board filled with bits of urban greatness done in colors of a New York sunset. If you need a little something extra to go along with this, try listening to Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys.

As a lover of all pretty things, especially when they’re hand-made, I absolutely swooned when I saw this hanging flower centerpiece from Ashley Meaders. Done in beautiful colors she can personalize to fit your event, I can see this fitting in perfectly for a wedding, baby shower, birthday party, and any stylish event. It just makes such a fun, whimsical, magical addition!

Happy August everyone! I recently learned that August is Peach Month, so I figured there could be no better way to celebrate the beginning of this month than with an inspiration board dedicated to peaches, based on a save the date card from Motormouthpress. There’s nothing I love more than picking a tender peach off of the fruit tree in our back yard, and eating it right there. The soft, pretty pink of the outside contrasted with the sometimes bright yellow, sometimes light white inside of a peach makes this fruit one of my favorites. I have a plethora of peaches sitting on the counter, waiting for me to cook something up, and I can’t wait to smell the deliciousness! Does anyone have any fun recipes to share? For those of you who don’t have peaches on your counter right now, you’ll have to make do with the inspiration board below. But with such pretty images, it’s not such a bad tradeoff to look at these pictures while you wait to get your own yummy peaches!

Having lived in San Diego my whole life, I grew up visiting the zoo every summer, and whenever a relative from out of town was visiting. My favorite part besides the giraffes was walking in and seeing peacocks wandering the grounds, normally right next to the entrance. They would sit there with their gorgeous, almost iridescent feathers, and soak up the admiration all the visitors would give to them. If we were especially lucky, one would majestically spread his wings so that an incredible array of blue, purple, green, and gold tones could be seen. I’ve never lost my love for those creatures, and when I came across our Peacock Shower Bridal Invitation I was quickly reminded of their beauty. Feathers, seen especially in headbands, have been huge lately, so these are details that can be used in both weddings and everyday life. Worn either way, the peacock feather is one I’m sure will always remain in style with its timeless beauty.
