It’s the start of a brand new week, friends! And isn’t this rose-and-hydrangea-covered altar/huppah/ceremony focal point breathtaking? Truly, I think I simply stared at it for a few minutes the first time I saw it. Inspiration board coming up next!

I’m going to a wedding this weekend! For a wedding lover {which I definitely am} and wedding blogger {which is sort of what I am…} there’s really nothing better. To tide you over till Monday, here are a few of my favorite links from around the web:

Check out the redesigns of two of my favorite blogs, Style Me Pretty and Once Wed. {Also check out a stunning SMP wedding here and here.}

A fabulous take on the mismatched ‘maid trend.

Take a few minutes to read this touching story. Reminds you what weddings are really all about, huh?

It’s like peeking into the life of a magazine editor. Oh wait, Eddie Ross used to work for Martha. Genius.

What are you all up to this weekend? Have any good links to share?

…cowboy boots. One of my besties rocked a pair last weekend with a black knit dress, a leopard print scarf, and gold hoop earrings {she’s cool like that} and ever since I’ve wanted a pair of my own. I’m looking for ones that are really beat up and not that weird red color – dark brown or a deep buttery tan for me, thank you! I would wear them with dark skinny jeans, pearls, sundresses, and french braids {but not all at the same time}.

I’ll give you the links, but don’t steal the pair I want, okay? Starting from the top left…

Yippee kay-ay-YAY!

Maria over at Layers of Meaning hosts a fabulous series every month called Through Her Eyes. It offers a sneaky peek at the personal lives of bloggers… and this month, that includes me!

Here’s what was in my bag the day I took the photo. Head on over to see what the other lovely ladies are toting around!

And a huge thank you to Maria for including me in such a fun project! She does an amazing job at putting every together and making it look cohesive.

P.S. So sorry to be switching up P&P’s look so often! I’m pretty sure I like this new header… I just might extend it a bit to fit the whole box provided by Blogger {if I can ever figure out how}.
