Do you watch Portlandia? I’ve only watch a few episodes, but I laugh hysterical through them. They have a skit about the popularity of the hipster use of birds called “Put A Bird On It.”
Well, Whales are the new birds. Expect to see these gentle giants everywhere.

I’m not big on nail art {it’s time consuming and looks a bit tacky} even as I love bold colors. But this new trend of fun tips is really making me rethink my stance. It adds a classy bit of color and excitement to plain nails or a bit of design to fully painted ones. Either way, it’s a trend to try!

Are you all noticing this triangle trend? It’s everywhere, from structured chevron to free flow shapes to tribal looks. This look is definitely ”in.” {via Oh So Beautiful Paper}

I have weddings on the brain this week. These stationery pieces are not only gorgeous, but are helping me get into the wedding zone. {what? It’s a thing.}
This invitation walks the perfect line between modern and vintage, classy and fun.
Being that I am a huge bookworm, this invitation suite is perfect in every way.
These adorable recipe cards would be perfect for a wedding shower. {favors or a gift for the bride to be, filled with her family and friends favorites} Even better? It’s a free printable!
It was so fun to paint the gold pots last week, I had to try another technique.
I used the same IKEA planter that I had on hand. I then flipped this one opening side down, and sprayed the paint close to the pot to create the drip effect.
I love how the drips appear to defy gravity— it will look really great when I add some flowers or cat grass. And the yellow on the purple really pops, with a bit of a nod to the neon trend, making it a great statement piece for a centerpiece or at a party. 
I might have to make some more of these!
You all have seen my love for gold DIY projects, so there is no question that I will be trying out this great way to plus up plain envelopes. {via 100 Layer Cake}

I have no business looking at nurseries, but this black and white baby room took my breath away. So unexpected! It gives me tons of ideas for a baby shower. {via Jane Reaction}
Are enjoying the Olympics as much as I am? C and I have been talking about going to London for a few years and these games are just growing the desire. So I was immediately attracted to this wedding invitation suite from Hello!Lucky. Modern and fun, it’s a great representation of this fabulous city.
