Pretty Little Things: January 2011

Bella Figura 2011 Collection

>> Monday, January 31, 2011

I have always been a big fan of Bella Figura's wedding stationery. When I visited their website recently, I noticed a lot of new and lovely wedding stationery that is featured in the 2011 wedding invitation collection. While there are plenty of beautiful wedding stationery suites, I wanted to share just a few of my favorites.

Friday Faves

>> Friday, January 28, 2011

Well lovely readers we made it through another week so why not close out the week with some wonderful favorites.
Who doesn't love polka dots, and with this lovely dress easy to dress up or down how can you {or I} resist?

Since I can't seem to visit Zara's website without seeing more than one thing that I like, these pants have caught my eye.

Oh and these shoes

I really like these necklaces

Speaking of dots

Just took a peek at this look book and saw plenty of pretty things

That's all for this week. Have wonderful weekend everyone.

Try as I may I can't resist a bright, colorful tote.

Q&A

>> Wednesday, January 26, 2011

I was drawn in by the cover design of this journal.

After reading further I love the concept of this journal. Each day I am asked a question then I can write an answer.

While this is an interesting way to capture everything you think or experience in one year, this journal is designed to span over 5 years. I know January is almost over, but I think I may have to pick this up.

Wednesday Space

this weeks space is all about classic sophistication and a little bit of whimsy

Tuesday Shoeday

The cold of Winter has me wishing for the bright colors of Spring and these lovely shoes.

(I had this scheduled for this morning, but that didn't happen. Better late than never right?)

In the Details: Wedding Brunch

>> Monday, January 24, 2011

Happy Monday everyone. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. As I was thinking about today's post I kept thinking about weddings and brunch. While many brides and grooms host a brunch after the wedding with their families, why not have a brunch wedding reception? Whether it be jazzy and fun

or classic and chic

A brunch reception isn't only cost effective but can be a fun twist to your wedding day, and as you know I love a fun little twist here at pretty little things. Start with colors and theme for your brunch reception that are bright and cheerful.

No matter what your theme or colors, when it comes to a brunch reception, it's really all about the food so why not set up creative food displays or stations with a brunch inspired theme.

offer the classic mimosa or set up a bar and allow guest to create their own cocktail.

There are plenty of creative ways to design a brunch reception, but in the end, make sure to inject your personality and flair into every detail.

Friday Faves

>> Friday, January 14, 2011

Happy Friday everyone. I hope you had a wonderful week. Despite having a few extra days off due to snow and ice, I still seem to be playing catch up. As with every Friday, it's all about favorites and this week I wish I could start off this morning with one or two of these .

When I saw these colorful plates and decorative pieces while reading my google reader I was thinking I like you may be interested in some new pieces for your own table.
