Site for Sore Eyes: Wednesday

I know this post's title might be a tad confusing. Because yes, it's true...I'm usually off by a day or two, but this time I didn't get it wrong. The name of today's Site for Sore Eyes, is Wednesday.

I stumbled across this gorgeous blog last night via a link on More Design Please (another stellar blog that you should check out right away) and I can't get enough. Garett and Jessica Mayfield are the creative duo behind it all...using their blog to showcase their event styling & coordinating and paper goods businesses.

I especially love how they use so many of the great DIY projects and ideas that we've seen online in their event styling (it really brings it to life for me). Really, it's all just brilliant and utterly inspiring, so be sure to grab a cup of something cozy before clicking over...'cause you're going to want to stay a while! xo Ez

From Wares to Wear: Make this Photo into an Outfit

One of my favorite kinds of posts to work on are for my From Wares to Wear feature. I don't know about you guys, but I frequently find myself looking at a photo or home accessory and wishing I could figure out a way to wear it. Is that odd?

Anyhow...this time around I was inspired by this photo of the inside of Stag in Austin, TX (as seen on Identical Eye - via pinterest), as well as this gorgeous fashion shot. I really love the pops of orange in the inspiration shot but decided to pick up the vibrant fuchsia seen in the books on the bottom shelf for my skirt color (using a little pop of orange as the nail color). The rest of the pieces are neutrals (my favorite)...perfect for layering and wearing again with other outfits.

Color Crush: Black, White & Gold

It seems like every few months I have a repeat love affair with the classic black & white with accent color combo. So while my color crush is hardly original today, I hope you'll still enjoy the pretties I found to represent it this time around. If you're digging black & white too, then you might like to check out a few of my past color crush posts featuring the theme: here, here, here, here & here...or get some other color inspiration by browsing the color crush archives. xo Ez
