Grab the gals and enjoy some bubbly, some bites from Fireside Catering and a shopping discount at the boutique! Here are some more details…

Hope to see you all there!!

Lace, tulle & teal

Now that I’m an engaged gal, I have wedding gowns & bridal shoes on my mind more than usual but this week, I’m especially excited for my soon to be sister in law’s big day that is taking place on Friday!! As the wedding festivities approach, I’m becoming more and more eager to see her gown and to find out which wedding shoes she picked!

Though this gorgeous pic is too vintage for my personal style, I’m adoring the combo of lace, tulle and teal suede! It’s inspiring me to try to combine textures & patterns for my wedding day attire. What are your thoughts: too much? Too vintage? Just right??

The future Mrs…

Hello & happy Monday! Last week, we mentioned  that there are some fun things brewing in the Paper Moss office and today I’m excited to get a little personal with y’all and kick off the week with one of the latest developments! My man {whom I refer to every so often} popped the question a week ago on Friday!!! I’ve been wanting to gush with you all about this development but needed to make sure that we called family and friends before we entered it into the blogosphere. While I’m waiting for the right time to share the story of our proposal, I will say that through some serious plotting & scheming, I was lured to one of my favorite places on earth: The Ocean House.

As if I wasn’t already obsessed with this place, having the man of my dreams ask me to be his wife {on their private beach!} really sealed the deal. So until further notice when I can dish the details & share some photos by our dear friend Mikhail Glabets, here’s a little selfie we snapped while sitting on the beach…

Stay tuned for the full, uber romantic story;)

Weekend Inspiration

I don’t know if you know, but this is kind of a big weekend!! Between the Kentucky Derby starting tomorrow and Cinco de Mayo being on Sunday, there are so many opportunities for fun, friendship and festiveness!!

Sip on a mint julep

Even if you’re not in to horse racing, you can’t deny that the tradition and festivities behind the Kentucky Derby are intriguing. Why not play the part by donning some super extravagant hats and sipping on mint juleps? Or if you’re not keen on that idea, at least whip up a Julep & tune in for the annual hat parade as guests show off their derby fashion!

PLUS in the spirit of this weekend, check out this Kentucky Derby inspired bridal shower designed by our friend Lauren of Lauren Wells Events!! So fun!

Celebrate the cinco

Cinco de Mayo is one of my favorite holidays {apart from Christmas & Easter, which have sentimental value} and along with the usual enchiladas, margs & guac that we celebrate with, I’d like to take it a step up with crafting a piñata. We bought one last year from a party store but thanks to this awesome inspiration from Studio DIY, I might be dusting off the gold paint can!! How are you planning to celebrate?

Take some more pics

When things get busy, this is one of the last things I think of doing. This weekend, why not get out there and snap some photos of springtime, of festivities, of your city or if you dare… of strangers! With Instagram making editing so easy & fun, {non-professional} photography is such an accessible art form. Nothing quite compares to the beauty & talent of a stellar photog but gosh darn it, we’ll keep trying!;)

Happy weekending!!

Signature Snake

With cross body bags being all the rage right now, we can’t help being completely mesmerized by these signature snake beauties by Carlos Falchi. Available in both the baby satchel and full size satchel, we think the design is fresh, funky & versatile. Such a fabulous statement piece!!
