Fall Inspiration

I realize its a thousand degrees outside right now, but I can't wait until the first chilly day of the season when I can pull a sweater out of my closet instead of a t-shirt. Looking at September issues of my favorite magazines just gets me more excited. Here are some things I am loving right now...


{ruffles}




{gap 1969 jeans}



{tall boots}





{slim blazers}






{chunky sweaters}








{and a new bag....or two}

Painted Branches

By simply spray painting some branches from your backyard, you can add a fabulous (and close to free) accessory to your room. I love the chic look of black or white:











Or a fun pop of color!

Play me, I'm yours...


Luke Jerram is a genius. He is the artist behind the street piano series Play Me, I'm Yours. These pianos have been set up in a few cities around the world, most recently in London where there were 30 different locations ranging from parks, random places on the street and outside cathedrals.

I love that it provides an opportunity for people to share their creativity to a massive audience. It brings out people who love music and love to play but may not have a piano in their home. What better way to bring a community together than through music?

A couple of my favorite videos:




I love the impromptu rap...






And this kid? Um. Wow. Chopin isn't the easiest stuff to play, he makes it look so easy!

DIY Wedding



This wedding was featured on iDiY. The couple, Catherine & Hans, did everything themselves. I LOVE the announcement picture. They bought and painted the piano and had his dad take the pictures. The red and aqua color combination is so pretty! They designed and handmade pretty much everything in the wedding, the groom even designed and sewed the wedding dress!
