Weekend Inspiration

Love this summer inspiration from the latest 

Anthropologie catalog...

Hope everyone had a lovely Mother's Day!

My weekend was full of enjoyment from Mother Earth...

 I planted my veggie + fruit garden and planted my flower pots.

I also picked up my hanging flower baskets... 

every year I order them in February so they are full and beautiful come May.

I get so excited to pick them up and add them to my front porch.

The flower baskets signify summer is almost here and I'm sure ready to enjoy this coming summer.

I also enjoyed time with my four darlings. 

They made a yummy waffles + raspberries breakfast, 

and I loved receiving the adorable handmade gifts that they created with their teachers.

How wonderful is it that teachers take the time to help children make things for their mothers?

I'm sure thankful for the great teachers my children have. 

Hope you are having a sunny day! :)

Mid-Century Photography by Slim Aarons

Yesterday I shared my love for a Shabby Apple Palm Springs photo shoot...

 and Speaking of Mid-Century chic... 

I can't get enough of Slim Aarons Photographs.

He especially loved photographing Palm Springs, Palm Beach, 

and any other pool and beach he could find.

Aren't these photos so retro, so cool, so perfect? 

And in the spirit of the Palm Springs retro era, 

here are some Palm Springs coffee table books that would add some 

retro charm to any family or living room.

The Glow

Right now I'm inspired by the site The Glow. I just can't get enough of this little glimpse into the world of inspiring and fashionable moms. I could seriously browse all day... 

On The Glow you'll find styling ideas, go-to gear, multitasking secrets, and, of course, decor.

There is really nothing like the love a mother has for her children... nothing. The Glow portrays that love through incredible photography, which I think speaks for itself. They could just use the photos with no writing, and we'd all still capture the story.

My favorite posts happen to be of the very talented Christiane Lemieux and Cynthia Rowely. 

Christiane Lemieux is the founder and creative director of DwellStudio.  She has mastered the subtle art of undone glamour, both at work and at home.

Cynthia Rowley, a fashion icon, runs a global empire (fashion, home, books, band-aids!) 
These are just a few of my faves. Check out The Glow for more inspiration from these lovely mothers and their beautiful children.

Chevron Love

There is something that I just love about the zig zag pattern.

It's graphic, classic, striking and yet, there is that fun element!

Here are just a few fun photos from Pinterest...
Oh! the lovely Pinterest. That site is quite addicting. One thing I love about the site,
is that the sources follow with the photo, so if you'd like the sources to these photos
you can check out Pinterest.
Here we go! Let's kick off another week! Hope it is a good one for y'all.

Photographer: Brian Ferry

So glad I discovered the photo collage below on Black*Eiffel.

I'm in love with the work of photographer Brian Ferry. 

I adore the way he uses light and shadows.

He has raw talent and I could just look at his work for hours.

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend.  

 I was able to spend some quality time with my family in Park City, Utah. 

Luckily it was warm enough to enjoy the beautiful mountains and relax.

Have you dabbled with Pinterest yet? 

I'm obsessed...

It's too fun and I love these lovely & inspiring beach photos found there.
