Birthday Card

The saying “pretty as a peacock” has always been a favorite of mine. Growing up and visiting the San Diego Zoo where peacocks wandered around the grounds, I didn’t think there was anything more stunning than a peacock with its feathers open to show its work of art. So, to even remotely compare something to a peacock’s beauty means it’s pretty darn spectacular in my opinion. Recently, peacocks have taken over in the style world with peacock headbands and other details reminiscent of the beautifully adorned creatures. This trend has continued into the card world where this Peacock Beautiful Birthday Card had become a favorite of mine with its sweet greeting that would certainly make my birthday even better.

Ice Cream Inspiration

by Vanessa on August 9, 2010

As we enter the dog days of summer, I find I crave ice cream 24/7. When I came upon this article from The New York Times, my craving got even worse with the yummy-looking picture. So, while chowing down on a perfectly cold ice cream cone, I came up with these images for an ice cream inspiration board. With such bright colors in ice cream, and the kid-friendly feel, there are so many ideas ice cream can provide for clothes, parties, jewelry, decor, and more! Make sure you supplement this with a scoop of your favorite ice cream (mint chocolate chip for me please!)
