mental health getaway.

either of these bathrooms could be the prescription for those moments when you know winter has over stayed his welcome.

of course the view out the window, especially in the first, doesn't hurt.

happy hump day.

light up the sky

they met while splashing by the lake before they could even walk. sunset boat rides, water skiing on the smooth morning waters, walking to town for a cold soda, building fires, toasting marshmallows, catching fireflies. 20 years later they return to their family's lake houses to celebrate that love that started while laying under the stars sharing their dreams.

if i did it, it's how i'd do it (part 2)

pretty extraordinary.

beautiful color. beautiful location. beautiful details. beautiful couple. if i was getting married on an island or beach, i could see this as some MAJOR inspiration.

happy monday.

i saw this over at style me pretty this weekend and i couldn't resist sharing them here with you, just in case you missed it. it's a truly beautiful wedding held down in mexico. the bride and groom have style bursting out of every detail.

isn't their engagement session just too much? p.s. i want that floppy.

and this is just the beginning. i have their wedding photos to share with you a bit later.

stay tuned.

keeping things fresh

pink sure has been stealing the show this spring so i thought i would share a little blue with you. nothing freshens things up like a pale turquoise or accent of robin's egg. subtle, calming, simple and light. and has anyone ever said they are tired of blue?!

have wonderful weekends in spite of the chilly temperatures.

headed home to see friends and family. should be a happy one!!

xoxo

elle.
