Without further ado…(all photos by Katie Stoops)

Note the toile… and the insane rings.

Could not love the color of the porch ceiling more.

See- the toile on the envelope liners. Simple and perfect. Especially all those stamps!

Really loving the pink stripe ties- and the varying greys int he suits on the groomsmen. Much appreciated by them I’m sure to not have to buy/rent a suit.  And it looks good to boot!

Say WHAT?!

This is where I start flipping out…

GAH! Perfection!

Toile lined gift boxes with Parisian macarons!!!

Could they BE any cuter?

Divine.

Those tin cans are covered in blue toile. Oh yes they are!

I can’t wait to show you their place once it’s done! :)

Well that prize was a trip to Paris and I leave next week for it! I can;t believe I’m headed back there and get to show my Dad around Paris for his first time ever! I’ve been so busy that I have not had much time to think about it, but beginning yesterday my brain started floating towards all things en francais. French style always inspires me, and the images from L’Hotel Particulier have haunted me for months (chock out the site).  Located in Provence, it’s style is so amazing and simple, traditional yet modern and totally ME!

But back to the City of Light- I really love the images I found by Etsy photographer Vita Nostra. Fantastic scenes from various parts of Paris.

As I panic about what to pack (it’s going to be cold!) I put together two outfits I wish i could bring with me!

For daytime walking (which I did about 8 hours of daily the last time I was in Paris…)

And for dinner out at night….

I NEED this zebra notepad. NEEEEEED. And the floral too.

I mean, COME ON.

Awesome little thank you notes in gold and floral patterns. Delightful.

Such a pretty way to ask someone to be in your wedding party!

Love both these cards (but the black background one had me at hello.)

How fabulous to actually INVITE people for thanksgiving and then have adorable place cards. Mom, order these and seat me next to the puppies.

Personalized adorableness.

Posters so perfect for a modern nursery (for a boy and girl).

AHHHH! I just dropped dead from the perfection that is this recipe box! D.E.A.D.!

If I wasn’t already dead from the recipe box, I would die again from the WEDDING INVITES! Gah!

OK, I’m gonna go breathe into a paper bag to calm down.
