Flit and Flitter

Flit and flitter like a little butterfly.

How perfect and appropriate for the season.

My garden is filled with them right now and it would be great to bring them inside as party decor. I can see these lovelies adorning some moist cakey goodness.

Highlighted on Lookbook by Onada

Lil' old me was highlighted today on Lookbook by Onada. (If it were possible I would be blushing.)

Onada is a fabulous photographer, businesswoman, fashionista, and all around great girl who I became friends with after she did my engagement pictures last year.  Through her unbelievable ambition and work ethic she has since been a huge inspiration to me to get out there and start pursuing my heart's desire, namely starting a business and pursuing photography.  So I was tickled pink when she asked me to be a part of her blogger interview series.

So go on over and check out the interview (the questions were really fun to answer) and stick around a while and check out her great lookbook.

Also check out her beautiful photography on Onada Photography and her fab fashions at The White Dress Shop.

My New Bag

A couple of weeks ago I purchased from Valhallabrooklyn their Larch bag in jet black.
