John French: The Photographer-1906-1966

In case you didn't know, John French was a London born Fashion and Portrait photographer. (1906-1966) It amazes me that these photos were taken so many years ago, yet the photos remain as stylish and classic as ever. I would think that this is the definition of timeless style. If given the oppurtunity I would take any outfit or look and wear them out on the street today. Enjoy his work below!

Beautiful Artwork

Check out this artist who sells her goodies on Etsy. These paintings are so simple yet vibrant. I really want one for my living room! Since I am still trying to aquire nice things for my wall, it's looking a little bare. I may have to save up to purchase one of these in the very near future. What do you guys think of them!

I-Pad

At first, I didn't see the purpose in the Ipad. After learning some more about the Ipad, I NEED one.

Who has one? What are your thoughts? Favorite things about the Ipad?

Austin Wedding: Kelly and Robert

At the begining of the summer I helped out on a wedding for Kelly and Robert Molina (They MUST be cool :) The event was held at the historical Austin Club in downtown Austin.

The wedding was beautiful and people danced the night away with The Atlantics, the band.

Tiffs Treats were the wedding favors and guests enjoyed a delicious buffett!

Check out the photos from Kelly and Roberts wedding. Thanks to Shannon Cunningham!

My Next Purchase

The next thing that I need for my apartment is a console table or side table to go in this spot below my photos. It is really starting to bug me that I have an empty space right there so I would like to fill it as soon as possible. Here are a few of the pieces that I am considering. What do you guys think? Which is your favorite?

Donuts!

America's favorite pastry! Not just for grumpy old policemen. Check out these donuts gone glam and consider adding them to the dessert tray for your next event! They can be placed on an antique platter or passed by the server. Either way it will give your guests a fun excuse to splurge and they will be so grateful!
