On the Lake

When my friend showed me the photos of a college professor's recent wedding, I was immediately smitten.  Every last bit of the wedding was incredible - from the bridesmaids' cowboy boots (hehe, personal favorite) the wedding party fireworks, the doggie ring bearers and the 4th of July-themed reception, I was sold.  If only we could go back in time so I could attend this lovely wedding with what must certainly be a very lovely group of people.  Photographer James Moes knows beauty when he sees it, don't you agree?

Turning art into fashion seems to be an absolute joy to me lately and I hope it resonates with all of you. If only everything in my life could be in such bold and distinguishable color.  

Triangle Love

Over the last few years, I've become fascinated with all things triangle.  I know several of you have this affliction/obsession as well.  What is it about these three-sided geometric shapes that has my heart all aflutter whenever I see a pattern arise? I might not ever know, but I do know that it's images like these that make me totally understand why I'm obsessed.  I need this image around to inspire me to be creative on a daily basis.  I need it to help me get dressed in the morning or to help me decorate our home.  I just...need it.  Don't you?  See? It inspires creativity where you might least expect it...

Mayhaps I'd wear this outfit regardless of that image.  But I do know that these colors, those shapes...they do me something good.  What's inspiring you?

Coral Crush

There's not much to be said about this board - other than the fact that I am crushing hard on the color coral.  I have been for awhile now.  It's just that the color itself is so pretty used in everything.  From makeup to hats to dresses - it's the perfect warm weather shade!  What color are you crushing on right now?

Happy weekend, dear readers!  What are you all up to this weekend?  We don't have much planned, other than waiting around for the Directv guy to show up tomorrow.  Our feed has been just plain awful for the last few weeks and after a few days of "searching for satellite" with no bad weather or wind or ice, we figured something was up and it was time to have a technician come out.  Grrrrr.  We're also planning a visit to the library down the street.  But that's it.  I'm fancyin a movie, some drinks perhaps at a local tavern and a whole lot of "chillaxing".  Whatever you get up to, have a great time!

It's been a few weeks since I've done a Friday's Fancies, so I thought I'd let you all know what I'd be wearing this weekend in a dream world!
