just when.

just when i thought it was safe to post all the mirror-metallic shoes that i've found around the web, the world shows me these.

this always happens!

but have you ever seen anything so beautiful?

i would get re-married for the opportunity to make these my wedding shoes.

to husband again, of course.

mid-october wedding....

and a short little ensemble to show off my shoes.

maybe like this:

in a room that looks like this:

and tables for our brunch reception set like this:

serving these things side by side:

{dessert is the best part of a meal, even if it is mid-afternoon!}

gold spun cotton candy?! absolutely.

color scheme of blush pink, gold, and shades of gray.

mmm. glammy.

citrus.

this whole post is based on the fact that i want to eat this cake.

right now.

i'm making it this weekend.

and might not share.

get the recipe here.

citrus cake with lemon curd filling and orange icing.

might sub grapefruit for the icing bc i love it that much.

it was inspired by stella mccartney's spring 2011 citrus print.

just like it, right!?

me like it long time.

imagine hosting a 'summer's-not-over-yet' party with this cake as the centerpiece.

wearing this on you and your home:

sophisticated sugar

the 'color recipe' for all these sophisticated icing colors!!

just the colors alone, presented in such a gorge way makes me smile.

now i want to throw a party. or 8.

i personally will stay on the lighter shades just because i don't like to consume alot of dye... but i could be convinced.... it only happens once in awhile after all :)

happy monday!!
