Iris Apfel. She is 88 years old.  She is a style icon.  She might be me in 63 years?  There was an exhibition at the MET called Rare Bird: The Irreverent Iris Apfel.  They showcased many of ensembles from her personal collection.  She mixes, she matches, she wears haute couture with costume jewelry and takes her personal style to the extreme.

And those glasses.  I die.  I tell The Husband all the time that when I get old I’m going to have crazy big glasses.

Dwell Studios and Heath Ceramics have teamed up to bring us the most awesome tile ever.  Modern colors and Mod patterns will make for some ultra sleek looking bathrooms.

So, we are trying to finish getting our shiz together for our booth in our first bridal expo coming in August.  I need a little help with this one decision.

I feel like I should explain to you guys who I am marketing towards before you help me out.  I love working with a younger, more modern crowd.  A crowd with a little edge and their own creativity.  So no big bows and tulle for moi.

So, on the wall behind my table I am going to  display some of my work mounted onto styrene and matboard.  I am having a bit of trouble deciding on what to you use to display them on.  These are the three options I have been mulling over.

Aluminum Sheeting.

Three sheets of this hung vertically.

Chain Link.

Chicken Wire.

What do you guys think.

As you can tell, I’m going for metal.  If you have any ideas that you feel are better you certainly can share those too…but I do love my metal.

This morning, while editing wedding images, I popped in my current Netflix flick. It was The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. It is a french movie about a couple whose affair is cut short when he is drafted and all the complications that came after. It was made in 1964 and its a bit of a musical. Not the burst into song at random type, but all of the dialogue was sung as melodies. I was concerned that I wouldnt be able to follow, watching a foreign film while tasking on the computer. But, I guess you would be surprised at how much french we know offhand. I already wanted to learn it and now I think It’ll be a breeze. The sets and wardrobe were delightful. The colors popped!

P.S.  Everytime I watch a French film it makes me want to move to France…yesterday it was Julie and Julia..and today this!

Heres some awesome wedding inspiration for ya.

Snippet & Ink posted Chris and Sages real wedding and I am in love with the shotgun wedding design they created for the wedding.  She was a bit preggers so they went with this theme and printed the logo on t shirts and temporary tattoos for the guests!

I don’t usually like “square” cars.

Ew.

No thank you.

But this, this I WANT!  2010 Nissan Cube I want I want I WANT.  Please?

This would have been a dream for me to live in when I was in middle school.  I actually asked to have a room with more of magenta walls with this color pink moulding.  Some close friends of our family were painters – but my mom let them pick out the colors and the bunch of dudes that they are their magenta was more of a fuschia.  But they were so proud they didn’t hear a peep of negative comment out of me.
