Elegant & Sweet.

I've been dying to share this wedding invitation package with you all, but couldn't find 5 seconds in the day to snap some decent pics. BUT, here they are...

This bride had a pretty clear vision of what she had dreamed up in her mind, so I was excited to to bring this to life. Elegant but still sweet with initials on the tag. I have to give Miss Christine props for being ambitious enough to put these all together. She was sent the printed cards, tags and baker's twine with assembling directions and went to town. That's such a fun way to be more involved in the process. Christine, you're a rock star!

I think they're kind of amazing, if I don't say so myself :)

Obsessed with...

White truffle oil. It's true. I'd put on my cereal if that wasn't weird.

Here are some of my favorite ways to use it...

Pinot Noir Pizza (stolen from a San Diego favorite, Wine Steals)

I cheat and use a thin wheat pizza crust from Whole Foods. Crush a couple cloves of garlic and rub on the crust, brush with olive oil. Top with asiago and mozzarella cheese, thin pieces of proscuitto and thin slices of half a red bell pepper. Cook at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Lightly drizzle the white truffle oil and top with a bunch of arugula in the center. So good, I've made it twice this week! Mainly because hubby bought too much proscuitto that I can't stand to waste it.

Parmesan Truffle Popcorn (I can eat an entire bowl on my own in one sitting!)

Pop a light, butter free popcorn. Drizzle with white truffle oil, add a little shredded parmesan and throw in a little chopped parsley if you really want to get fancy.

2 more days till the weekend!! I'm so excited for our FIRST date night since Winslow was born, I can barley handle it. Love that little peanut but love my hubby too!

I'm loving...

Gabriela Artigas' jewelry collections. I learned about it from a cute blog I follow that featured the bow ties.

I love the small bold shapes of the tusks and horns paired with the delicate, vintage chains. But I'm mostly in love with the brass bow necklace and bracelet. And then also the chunky braided choker. Ugh, I love it all!!

All of the above pieces are between $70-690.

Tutus & Glitter

Winslow just received these gifts in the mail from some ridiculously sweet friends...

Tutu with tulle ice cream cone?! And glittered Tiny TOMS?! Yes, they are for real and no, I CANNOT wait to put her in this outfit :)

Speaking of TOMS... who's excited about their ballet flats coming out this spring? I think I'll need them in every color and print.

Close to my heart.

My hubby must have been listening when I talked (non-stop!) about wanting a necklace with my daughter's name, because this showed up in a sweet little package yesterday...

I love having her close to my heart :)

I had ordered them before, for my mommy friends, but I hadn't see one up close. The names are handmade and come on a delicate and dainty 14k gold filled chain. It's the sweetest thing! You can order them on Esty from Jewelry Custom Designs by Dharlee. I've exchanged a few emails with her and she seems as sweet as she is talented.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Winslow and I went to see Daddy play in a pond hockey tournament in Evergreen (about 40 minutes from Denver), so beautiful!

Hello 2012!

It's official. 2011 was the most incredible, fulfilling, eventful year of my life. Some highlights...

Wow, (that took forever!) was quite a year! I love looking back on every one of these pictures. 2011, you were good to us. Can't wait to see what 2012 has in store. I have a feeling each and every year moving forward will be better than the last with Winslow in our lives.

Happy 2012 Everyone!!
