Now that I'm a working mama I rarely have time to sit down and read a magazine - reading a magazine cover to cover usually takes me several days now. What I can seem to find time for is a quick browse through a catalog - pretty photos without lengthy text works perfectly for my schedule right now. :)
So imagine my delight over the latest Anthropologie catalog! Chock full of beautiful and inspiring imagery (and clothes that I'd love to just magically appear in my closet), in a tropical theme that reminded me of my honeymoon... like a lovely mini magazine. I was blown away by the accessories spread which creatively showcases jewelry among some whimsical flora and fauna. Favorites below.
I'm pretty infatuated with this bridal look from Carolina Herrera's Spring '09 collection. This is definitely a very unique look for a bride, but it's so classy and chic. I just love it. Especially the hat. :)
I'm really drawn to this lace bib necklace from Malin Collection. The intricate patterns of lace have long been a big inspiration for my wedding designs. And green has always been my favorite color so this deep emerald is such a lovely, unique choice for this piece. I wish I had somewhere to wear something like this!
Every season, I am hard-pressed to find a single piece by Paul Smith that I don't love. I am still smitten with this outfit from the spring/summer collection -
And now there are all sorts of treats available for fall. A few favorites...

Yesterday's weather was a taste of fall here - perfect weather in my book! Today is going to be a very busy production day, followed by a long weekend away, so - in eager anticipation of fall - here are some of my favorite inspiring looks from the latest Toast catalog...
