LISTEN.

• Malaysian artist Yuna's sweet, smooth voice is so relaxing - if you like Anna Nalick or Corinne Bailey Rae, I think you will want to add this one to your playlist.  I'm linking up with Musical Mondays at My So-Called Chaos.

LISTEN.

• I absolutely adore The Beatles, but I'm not a purist - I love a lot of Beatles covers.  I even enjoyed Russel Brand's take on "I Am the Walrus" on the Closing Ceremonies of the London Olympics.  This version of "Here Comes the Sun" by Yuna is so lovely and peaceful, I could listen to it for days.

SWOON.

• This elegant bohemian wedding with purple details featured on Elizabeth Anne Designs reminds me of A Midsummer Night's Dream- it looks almost too lovely to be real!
• I love the artistic take on a library themed invitation from Quill and Fox.  The illustration has such a nostalgic quality.
• Style Me Pretty features a traditional Georgia wedding in a Greek Revival home with the prettiest peach-topped cake.

SMILE.

• Fuzzy green dianthus were last week's Friday flower at Elizabeth Anne Designs... I like learning the names of unfamiliar flowers!
• I'm a little in love with the concept of pop-up dinner parties, a la Oh Happy Day.
• Happy Shark Week!
