{what I loved this week}


on instagram: This graphic backdrop made by Jesi Haack created with colored duct tape would be perfect for a fun photobooth.  Using a chalkboard wall to designate a drink area makes me miss our old chalkboard frame.  Chris and I spent a day wandering around (and drinking in) the Whole Foods Lincoln Park which I would compare to a food theme park.  

on pinterest: I am obsessed with the idea of re-doing our entryway to have a large mirror layered behind a clear or low profile console table.  With Fall season entertaining around the corner, I would love to use these gourmet marshmallows as inspiration for a little hot chocolate get-together.

in real life: While shopping around in Atlanta's Grant Park neighborhood last weekend, I came across this amazing concrete ping pong table which I think could be easily DIY-ed - plus it could double as an outdoor dining table.

on the blogs: These oversized flower "pinatas" would be so fun for an outdoor bridal shower or layered together as a sweets table backdrop.  Love this simple DIY by Sugar & Cloth to upgrade some Ikea shelves. 

on the internets: This guide from the unofficial @GSElevator twitter account has been making the rounds on the internet this week. While I would generally find these kinds of lists to be super cheesy this one actually has some pretty sound advice for the guys of our generation. 

on my wishlist:  Its about that time of year when sequins start popping up in every store- this little dress by Mango looks comfortable yet festive at the same time.  Finally Target jumped on the bar cart bandwagon with this industrial version.

  2. I love the idea for the large entryway mirror with the see-through console. My husband and I had a similar idea except we wanted to do large-scale art that you can see through the table, I'm thinking now that the mirror might work better. I adore everything on your blog - keep up the good work!!! :-)
