ode to vera

I think if I ever decided to collect something, it would definitely be Vera linens. She made the most lovely napkin sets and tea towels in to-die-for color palettes! The color combo above is all-time favorite for me. I spotted this beauty on ebay.

What's red and white and turquoise all over?! Lots of parties, it seems. I'm loving this color combo and keep seeing it pop up in many places.

Maraka passed along this beautiful birthday party from Shim and Sons. I love it! The Martha-Stewart-esque photography (with fabric backdrops to boot) is just up my alley. 

color crush

I seem to be leaning toward a color palette inspired by my beloved Orla Kiely bag. My home has traces of these colors as well, but I'm a bit too schizophrenic with color (in love with ALL of them), so I'm having a hard sticking to a defined palette. Nonetheless, I'd love to do something with these colors...a party, a house, a wedding...
