can a girl have too much ribbon?!

i have long been a fan of the amazingly stunning MIDORI ribbon!!

{this is their front page artwork… LOVE LOVE LOVE the teal and red combo. always look so fresh!}

The price most definately reflects the quality… and the price is pretty high! BUT… theknot.com is having a sale in their wedding favor decor section on many of their MIDORI ribbon spools… Some styles are over 50% off so snag up a few rolls to stash for a rainy day. or… if you are like me… have a TON of ribbon, hardly ever use it, and then keep buying more!

here are some of the styles on sale

 

my all time fav . the crown

so simple but such a neat addition!

officially the most chic favor box there is!

 my husband doesn’t get the ribbon obsession-thing… maybe one day he will experience the joy and delight that silky smooth double faced satin ribbon can bring!

Birdies!

i found the most adorable wall art on etsy this afternoon! From the fabulous ChickadeeVinyl comes this stunning set of 3 birdcages! This is a PERFECT option for over the crib artwork, since, in California, we can’t put ANYTHING on the walls above a bed because of the lovely thought of big earthquakes looming! So, instead of leaving a big blank wall above the crib, think vinyl!

So, if you see these up in my son’s room any time soon, act surprised! :)

vintage fashions

i found a rockin’ seller on etsy who finds the greatest vintage pieces and sells them for awesome prices in her etsy shop… ramonawest

stroller for the queen

as a mom, and a mom who loves all things gadget-y and fun, my search for the perfect lightweight umbrella stroller was a pure joy! finally, after many test drives, interviews with other wise stroller mamas, and endless online searching, i bought the maclaren quest in charcoal gray… its been a fabulous stroller or as maclaren titles them… a fabulous buggy!

its so compact, lightweight, it reclines, its super comfy, and just cool for a fun little boy.  but… in my recent Nordstrom website scan… i found another maclaren that, if i had a little girl, would be just delightful!

presenting… her majesty’s chariot:

full on juicy couture!

full on juicy couture!

i love how the metal has a light gold tint to it! juicy is one of the smartest, creative companies that will put thier logo and signature “look” on just about anything and sell it for a LOT and people freak out over it and buy like crazy! for now, i will enjoy my simple, plain, yet functional maclaren :)
