The Fete Blog

It’s high time for some weekend links– I think we all need a bit of decompressing time after a busy week! (Raise your hand if you have an even busier week ahead… yes, that’s exactly what I thought.) I hope you have a day (at least) to curl up with a mug of something warm, snuggle with those you love, and let your brain to turn mush with books, blogs, and magazines. Those days are rare, but they feel oh-so-good.

An inspiration image for a shoot I’m putting together with some fabulous local vendors– Elizabeth Messina’s work is always a go-to for initial inspiration boarding.

What should we be pouring over in our down time? How about…

-Part two of Gala Darling‘s blogging series– Get Organised!

-I’ve been loving fresh juices lately (and tweeting my favorite combinations)– thank you Camille & Chanel for putting together this round-up of your favorite juice recipes!

-A favorite wedding this week: an incredibly hip/rustic/handmade Cape Town wedding! The fashion choices, design, and food details– divine.

-Apartment Therapy explores the art that is tiny homes– these are all so gorgeous!

-Sincerely Kinsey talks about keeping physical records of this time in her marriage… it makes me feel half guilty for not doing a better job printing out pictures! This is high on my DIY and marriage to-do lists.

-A dear friend (someone I’m always on the same page on) sent this over to me– does Facebook make you jealous? It certainly gets to me more often than I’d like to admit…

-If you look at one wedding this week for fashion inspiration, make it this one. Can I be best friends with Christian Siriano?

-Remember my obsession with foxes? Then you’ll know why I’m in love with this party inspiration board.

-Yum! Grapefruit donuts– combining two of my favorite things!

-One of my first ever blog role models, Design is Mine, has relaunched her Etsy shop! Swing over and oogle all the loveliness she creates!

-DIY project! A pom pom tablecloth… this is right up my alley. I wish I had created one of these for our wedding weekend decor!

-Everyone is swooning over the whole women-rocking-menswear look, but Miss Moss says it just right.
