Rustic and green

Loving the floral and details from this Ojai, California wedding.  So green and natural in such a pretty setting.  Her bouquet looks like something that could have been plucked out of a Tuscan garden.  From Once Wed.

Julia

Happy 100th birthday Julia!  If you haven't read her book "My Life in France" yet, you should!  Her joy and enthusiasm for French cooking is evident, even though she arrived in France not speaking a word of the language or knowing much of the culture.   Her advice on how to survive a French dinner party- "Just speak very loudly and quickly, and state your position with utter conviction, as the French do, and you'll have a marvelous time!"

White dahlias + blueberry branches from Green City market.   Looking forward to the last bit of the Olympics and some nice cool weather here.  xoxo

Scenes from the weekend

Target + Neiman Marcus

This sounds fun!  According to WWD, 24 CDFA designers will be creating more than 50 limited edition gifts for a holiday collection that will be available at all Target and all Neiman Marcus stores (plus both websites), beginning December 1.   The collection will range from $7.99 to $499.99 and will include categories beyond men's, women's and children's wear such as sporting goods, pet acessories, and home decor.  Some of the designers (photo above) Alice + Olivia, Band of Outsiders, Lela Rose, Marchesa, Proenza Schouler, Rag & bone, Rodarte, and Tracy Reese.   I think its going to be an early morning if you want to get in line to actually buy any of this!
