Color Inspiration

Loving the colors and composition of these photos. The grays, blues, and that yellow! Don't know if I want to paint something or get new shoes in these hues.

Prince cake anyone?

Just read about the creators of this purple yumminess on Refinery 29. Sisters Claire and Amanda Thomas of "Dolly Couture Cakes" in Los Angeles are creating some sweet and decadent cakes fashioned after some of their favorite designer dresses. This article in turn led me to Claire's blog The Kitchy Kitchen, which led me to the purple one above. Who wouldn't want a cake that transforms "Ken" into "Prince". Just felt like I had to share this because of it's sheer awesomeness ;) and her blog is pretty great. If you love food (which I do) check it out.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MAMAS! ABOVE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE IMAGES BY ARTIST NIKKI MCCLURE. I FEEL BLESSED EVERYDAY TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING LITTLE GIRL. HAVING A CHILD HAS TRULY SHOWN ME HOW TO SURRENDER AND JUST LOVE. WISHING YOU ALL A BEAUTIFUL DAY WHETHER YOU'RE A MAMA OR NOT.
