We all know we are supposed to send thank you notes… but when? How late is too late? My answer is – better late than never. You should usually aim to send thank you notes up to 2 weeks after an event or shower. For weddings, the timeline can be extended to as much as 3 months, but like I said, “better late than never.” Here are some simple thank you notes I’m loving right now.

The following vases don’t just look cool but are geometrically sound! Shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space are ideas that make them rad.

This month’s featured photog is Erin Woolsey of ee photography. She is one of my favorite Texas photographers! Her work always speaks for itself. It is so breathtaking and beautiful, a work of art!
Until next week, LOVE,
So many government acronyms so little time… But here’s one you might find interesting: The Color Association of the United States. In 1915, CAUS developed a color forecasting process that we still follow today. They create and deliver global color intelligence across industries (Color Intelligence… I’d love to have that on a badge!) and serve as the premier forecast agent, specialized educator, and trusted advisor to color professionals whose responsibility is to ensure marketplace success for their color decisions in the realm of brands, product and service, and spatial environments
Roseanna Roberts is Director of Color Trends at CAUS. She’s essentially a “color forecaster.” Sign me up for that! After studying Fashion Communications she traveled the globe – picking up bits of color inspiration along the way. She attributes a lot of her inspiration to photos she’s taken and the world around us. When asked how she can “see the future” – two years in advance to be exact – she credits studying important events, elections, movies, and art exhibitions that will be taking place in that year. Big factors include if there are olympic games or a presidential election.
They forecast every category from fashion and beauty to interior design, providing coordinating palettes and inspiration in addition to individual color trends. Here’s the catch – the information is exclusive to members of CAUS. The good news is you can join! For a fee, of course.

Trash the dress is a fun way to make memories after your wedding day. Instead of letting your dress collect dust in the closet just trash it! Ask your photographer for more information!
A wedding is essentially a love story… here are some invitations inspired by books and book covers.
