The Golden Nursery: Ready for Isla

Less than three weeks away from our due date now, and I am so anxious to meet little miss Isla. We had an ultrasound on Monday, and she is measuring 6 pounds 7 ounces – right on track (44th percentile). As we get nearer to June 4, we’re finalizing all baby details – making sure we have enough diapers, swaddle blankets, bottles, etc. for her arrival. The hospital bags (hers, mine) are packed and in the car – just in case! I’ll do a post on what’s inside soon. I have definitely overpacked her clothing – she has about 10 outfit choices… because I’m indecisive. This J. Crew onesie may be the winner, but we’ll see. The room is 99% complete. The only thing I’m still on the fence about is wall color/paper… Rifle Paper Co. will launch their wallpaper collection with Hygge and West next Monday. If something fits the room, I’ll be sold.

Favorite Etsy Shops

I love Etsy – not for all of the fru-fru bow or homemade DIY stores, but the amazing selection of custom stationery, stamps, prints, and decor. I recently browsed my order history (which is rather large) and realized how many gems I’ve found on this website. I decided to roundup my favorite stores so that you can hopefully feast your eyes (and wallets) on some of these gorgeous treats. Are you a frequent Etsy shopper? If so, which are your favorite shops?

Met Gala 2014

My favorite fashion event (besides a royal wedding) is the annual Met Gala in NYC. I absolutely love the bold dresses that stars done for this big night out. I was following along on Instagram last night, and absolutely fell in love with some of my favorite star’s outfits. The nine pictures below are my favorites. I personally think that the Gossip Girls, Leighton and Blake, stole the show though – their dresses are absolutely stunning. Which look is your favorite?

Pretty Floral Tea Party for Isla

I was totally spoiled by my sister and best friend this weekend – they threw me the most gorgeous tea party shower for little Miss Isla. It was held at our house, as many of our closest friends still had never seen the house since we re-did it last year (pictures herehere and here). I had such a great time talking to everyone – I love parties! McKenzie and Karine did such an incredible job planning and executing on their plans – how pretty is this floral tea party? The flowers are seriously to-die for. I want them to be in our house at all times!

Stunning Floral Announcements

Oh So Beautiful Paper is one of the four tabs that opens every time I launch Google Chrome. It’s the best way to start a day – but getting a daily dose of beautiful paper. Yesterday, I opened my browser and literally got 6 inches from my computer screen in order to gawk at these gorgeous pink and gold invitations (a color combination I declared my love for many moons ago). I made a note to save and post them the following day – then opened my browser hours late and fell in love all over again, this time taking a second to absorb details. “2132 White Oak Drive?” I thought to myself. Wait, I know where that is. Then I looked at the names on the invitations… Riley Conaway? She was the creative genius at Papellerie behind our wedding stationery, and I love her and her work! It only makes sense that she would design the most amazing floral wedding announcements (an elopement, how exciting!).

Congrats, Riley – a million times over!
