1 Weekly Flowers

I love having fresh flowers in our apartment...Aren't these lovely?  It feels like so long since I've done a weekly flower post.

By the way, do you follow me on instagram?  I will be honest I think pinning away on Pinterest and documenting my life through photos on Instagram, has cut into my blogging time.  I am trying to get better about integrating the three together, but in the meantime feel free to follow me on those sites too.

PS.  Still totally love my yellow Vessel Vase from Perch.   It's such a perfect size (and color!), it has definitely become my go to vase.

7 Around the Apartment

A few shots from around the apartment this weekend...we are still working on every room, but things are starting to really come together.  The art wall in the living room got a little more art, which makes me very happy.  We are still really enjoying our balcony a lot (still need to plant the rest of our succulents and find fabric to cover our ottomans). Our problems with the apartment (which I haven't even really gone into on here, but have certainly slowed the process of getting settled) seem (fingers crossed) to be dying down, so hopefully in the next few weeks we will make a lot of progress...

8 Craving...COLOR!

I know, not something you hear me say a lot around here...but I'm craving all things spring and bright.  And you know I always love some geometric graphics and beautiful flowers {especially ranunculus}!

3 Flowers from Yes Please

Flowers from Yes Please...um yes, please.

I think it's safe to say if I ever have a wedding Yes, Please will be involved...and I ordered flowers (er, succulents!) from Succulent Love  last week, and the service was fantastic.

1 Fish Scale Planters

I was excited to rediscover fish scale planters from Maruja Fuentes thanks to Art Wall...I think these are just fantastic.

2 LA Partie Events House Tour

So, I discovered LA Partie Events purely by accident through a craigslist listing for a vase clearance sale at their shop.  After playing on their site a bit, I realized that they are involved with a number of great weddings and events that I have blogged about and love, including that great black and white striped wedding.

Then, a couple of weeks ago, Design*Sponge does a great house tour of Megan's house in Santa Monica...completely fantastic, don't you think?

I will definitely be adding the LA Partie Blog to my watch list.

2 Weekly Flowers and the Farmer's Market...

I am so happy to report that I have found a new flower man at the Culver City Farmer's Market.  Although no one will ever replace my beloved flower lady from New Orleans, my new man is sweet and has lovely flowers {cheap too!} I just love the way the zinnias look in my Beak Vessel from Perch! ...

3 Black and White Striped Wedding

I adore the details of this wedding.  The flowers are fantastic, his bow tie, the bridesmaids dresses, and um that black and white striped bow!? Fantastic...

1 Stylist Lo Bjurulf

More from stylist Lo Bjurulf...this time in hues of blue and green {featuring products from Ikea}.  I absolutely  love those vases with the veggies on top for some reason...

0 Succulent LOVE

I already loved SucculentLOVE...but these little tear drop ceramics from Jen E Ceramics filled with succulents and billy buttons kill me!


I think I may treat myself to one of these when I get to LA....
