pink and blue wedding inspiration for my cinderella
In college, I was lucky to live with one of my good high school friends in the dorm our first year and in off-campus housing for two years after that! I still consider K one of my dearest friends. K is a romantic at heart and loves fairytales, especially Cinderella, and hot pink. She and her boyfriend are super cute together, and every time I see a fairytale-inspired wedding or a blue and pink color scheme, I think about how much fun we're going to have when it's time to plan their big day.

I loved the ruffled collars on the bridesmaids' dresses featured in both of these weddings, and I adore the bridesmaids' hot pink shoes in the picture from Jen Huang Photography!

It must have been the way you kissed me.
Fell in love when I saw you standing there.

Today was a fairytale"

my CUPID SWAP swag!
I was excited to participate in Micah's Cupid Swap this Valentine's Day - I thought it was such a cute idea to have bloggers matched with a mystery "cupid" and shower one another with gifts! My cupid was Laura from Simply Me The Way I See It.
Two of the "likes" I'd listed in my survey were Paris and leopard print and I'd say Laura did a great job with this little metal art plaque and leopard print picture frame. I think the plaque is going over my vanity.
The cutest little Eiffel Tower (which now lives in our living room) and a glittery box!
The best part... have you tried the strawberry swirl Dove milk chocolate yet? If not, you really need to because it is amazing. I think Mr. Q and I went through the whole bag in two days.
Thanks to Laura for being such a great "Cupid" and to Micah for hosting this fun gift exchange! I played Cupid for Tiffany from My Smile Saga and I hoped she loved her gifts, too.

happy valentine's day!
"And you can tell everybody this is your song.
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done,
I hope you don't mind,
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world."
- from "Your Song" by Bernie Taupin and Elton John

inspiration for a poppies and lace wedding
Imaginary weddings take me to strange places sometimes. This time, I started with the spring 2013 Pantone colors linen and poppy, got sidetracked by literal poppies, and ended up with something very feminine, soft, and maybe even a little bit bohemian. Perhaps an early afternoon wedding with a light-filled reception? I can hear a string quartet playing "Here Comes the Sun" in my head right now.

winter color: poppy and linen
Today's board is inspired by this spring's Pantone color report and two colors that unexpectedly look awesome together: poppy and linen. I included several "mall" items in case you're still on the hunt for a Valentine's Day outfit!
