Look Linger Love

Monday mornings are happy Monday mornings when you get to start the day with a little creative juice from Jenny aka MFAMB.  She’s assembled a beauty of a space for our Nursery Design Series and I’m in utter lust over it.  Seriously, it’s awesomeness.  Check it out.

There’s a lot in there to talk about, like the owl wallpaper, feather lamp, rug, side table…  But did ya’ll see that there painting?  The artist is none other than Jenny herself (rockstar) and she’s working on an etsy shop to start selling her paintings.  So stay tuned for that.  Endless thank yous to you Jenny for whipping up this pretty for us!

This week I got the good news that my girl made it off the waitlist for pre-school.  Naturally we came armed with the camera for her first day.  She really did so well, I was one super duper proud momma!  When I picked her up she was as happy as could be, and the teachers were going on and on about how smart she is.  So nice to hear that after keeping her all to myself the past two years, maybe I haven’t been a total failure after all?

And there’s more: Gaby from The Vault Files sent over this beauty!

As soon as Chassity mentioned the idea of posting outfits of her readers I immediately created this outfit. I was still in The Island but soon taking a (few) plane (s) to civilization, so the idea of going out for a date night with my husband sounded exciting and the perfect inspiration for this outfit (something I would totally wear). I really like the golden details of the sleeves, necklace and heels, I think they complement perfectly without overshadowing each other, don’t you think?

But that’s not all from Gaby.  You all remember that she has that great jewelry shop, The Vault Jewels?  Well I was so touched to find a little surprise from her in my mailbox this week.  She sent me one of my most favorite pieces from her line.  Thank you, Gaby – adore you so much!

And I saved some super fun news for last…. we have a winner for our independent stylist for Stella & Dot giveaway.  Congratulations Sarah!  You just won a $100 Stella & Dot gift certificate, which sounds like you’ll put towards the Leona necklace.  Lucky, lucky girl!  Just send Annette an email at hello@baublesbash.com.

Little makes me happier in my blog world than introducing great brands to my readers.  Today I have the honor of sharing the talent behind one of my new sponsors, Paige Winn Photo.  Paige recently moved to Charleston, SC from the midwest, and not a moment too soon. Her eye and creative take on the art of caturing moments has been warmly welcomed!

This may be the funniest blog I’ve come across in a long, long time!  Suri’s Burn Book is “A study in Suri and the celebrities that disappoint her”.  A riot.

Man, ya’ll are a spoiled bunch!  Our independent stylist for Stella & Dot is back here this week with yet another dy-no-mite giveaway: a $100 gift card to pick out jewelry of your choice!  

I was actually just at a Stella and Dot trunk show last week and got to see the entire fall collection in person.  I’m no doubt a fan or I wouldn’t sing their praises here on my blog, but to see all the jewels in person is just a beautiful thing.  SO much gorgeousness.  This After Midnight Necklace is my current gotta have it item!
