Pravina Studio.

These purses and handbags from Pravina Studio have my name written all over them! Well not really, that would just be weird. I love the clean, modern lines and textiles Diana uses to create her one of a kind handmade bags. And being a museum curator herself, she definitely knows a thing or two about meticulous attention to detail.

Happy {Mother’s Day} Weekend.

{Jenny Lewis by Autumn de Wilde}

I’m skipping out a little early this week to fly home to Pennsylvania for a family wedding. It’s rare that I get to go back any other time during the year other than Christmas, so I’m really looking forward to it family drama excluded. I’m especially happy about getting to spend Mother’s Day with my 85 year old grandma! My mom will be in town for the knot-tying as well, so it’s going to be a good trip. I’ll see you back here Tuesday morning!

+ I can’t wait to try my hand at Megan’s felt dahlia flower brooches – I just hope I can manage with only two hands!

+ Forgot to pick up a Mother’s Day card? No sweat, download this free silhouette card from Two Brunettes

+ More May wallpaper to mix things up on your desktop: 1, 2, 3

Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy Weekend!

PS: Don’t forget, if you haven’t entered the CSN giveaway yet you have until Tuesday at 9am!

Railay.

After waiting much too long to search for an outfit to wear to a wedding this weekend I had only one option left. The mall. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good shopping trip as much as the next girl. But not on a Sunday afternoon and not when it’s a buy or die situation. Luckily I found a sweet black wrap dress that accentuates all the right curves at my first stop. But my real find of the day were these Railay wedges that are so comfortable I’m fairly certain I could run a marathon in them. If I was a marathon running kinda girl.
