Everything about this new identity for Photographer Lisa Lefkowitz is stunning! I stumbled on this update via my daily visit to Hello! Lucky the other day. I’m loving the pale teal and gold color combination. This exquisite identity, collateral system and site design were done by Melanie of Collective Lines. In a word: lovely!

Hello friends! My apologies for not posting yesterday, I took the day off to celebrate my husbands birthday. We ended up going to an amazing restaurant here in Seattle called How to Cook a Wolf. For you Seattleites I highly reccomned it. Yumm!
Anyhoo, back to T&T land! I spotted this AMZING wedding shoot on (my all time favorite blog) Style Me Pretty yesterday and I just couldn’t resist sharing some of the pics here. The details OH MY! Every last element has been thought through. It’s images like these that make me wish I could get married over and over again. Is that weird?! This was done by the talented Gloria of Gloria Wong Design and will be featured in the Fall / Winter 2009 issue of Brides Northern California due out September 1st.
Don’t miss a detail of this shoot! Be sure to check out all 5 parts to this feature on Style Me Pretty: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5

Seattle is in the middle of a little heatwave and Tula is eating ice cubes like they’re going out of style! Whenever it gets this hot I get a craving for citrus; oranges, limes, you name it, just thinking about them makes me feel cooler! Here are a few images I found to keep my mind off the heat.

I love these mobiles form Petit Collage. Made from laser cut bamboo, I especially like the cute little monkey, he’d be sure to brighten up any room!

I’ve been feeling a bit gloomy the last few days, not exactly sure why, but I needed something to pull me out of my funk. To brighten my spirits I decided to do a collage of all the pretty things I’ve seen around the web over the past days. This did just the trick, I feel refreshed and a whole lot more cheerful! The fact that it’s Friday is an added plus! Have a fantastic weekend and lot’s of love to all of you. xoxo

This is some pretty clever packing by ChappsMalina and Little Fury, for Help. I love that the focus is on the symptom and not the cure. Anyone who’s stood in a pharmacy, blankly staring at the hundreds of headache remedies can surely relate.
Bonus easter egg: try making all the packs on the home page disappear by clicking on them.

It seems like yesterday that I was hosting Katie’s baby shower and now little baby Sanchez is celebrating his first birthday! I got this charming invitation from his ever so talented mother in the mail last week and had to share. Those sewn graph paper envelopes are just to die for! If the invites are this adorable I can’t even begin to imagine how awesome the party will be!
