We’ve got the answer for Valentine’s Day parties this year at Paperless Post! We have a few new invitation designs, which can also be customized for Save the Dates and other non-holiday related parties. Hooray! Printed versions of these designs are also available.
Stripes are so lovely and timeless, and it’s always fun to see how they are reinvented each season! Here are some of my recent favorites:
Stucco Stripe Songbird dress, Madewell / bow back top, Topshop / “Eat Cake for Breakfast” Gia, Kate Spade / sailor stripe scarf, Kate Spade / Classic 101 sunglasses, Toms / Walking Day Trip backpack, Modcloth

Nole Garey shares a delicious cocktail recipe each week on her blog Oh So Beautiful Paper, and since today’s the first day back to work after a long weekend for many of us, I thought a cocktail might be in order. Cheers!

+ LOCAL STUFF: This weekend is looking a little slim. Try checking out the Rembrandt exhibit at NCMA (and if you have a tween or teen check out Sketchbook Saturdays). Then head to Chapel Hill to check out Luis Franco’s political pop art at UNC, and a show by UNC’s MFA candidates at the Friday Center. Kids might also enjoy the Wonderland Express at the Museum of Life & Science, a 2,220 square foot indoor train with local landmarks (through Sunday).
Have a great weekend!
Some inspiration, newly added to my home folder:
These first three photos are from the portfolio of Faith Blakeney, an interior designer I found by way of Old Brand New. In the top one I love all the white with splashes of pattern and color. And the second photo looks like a perfect place to curl up with a book on a summer afternoon. The last photo of the kitchen is charming as can be, but I like it because it reminds me that not-so-perfect kitchens can be cute with the right touch. My husband and I recently decided to put our kitchen renovation plans on hold indefinitely, and in the meantime we’re painting, pulling up vinyl, and dreaming up wall paint colors. Make do with what you’ve got!
This photo is from Chrissy Poitras and Kyle Topping’s home, as featured on Design*Sponge (photographed by Evan Nash). I love the mix of patterns and casual, lived-in-but-neat feel. Below is another photo from their home (oh to have old wallpaper that just happens to be beautiful). My husband is anti-wallpaper, but I’m working on him. I love the white floor, too.
This next photo is sort of a wild card, I suppose, in that it’s full of furniture and other things I’d probably never buy, but I wish I would! Found on The Selby, Alexandre Herchcovitch’s home has a whimsical sense of humor and great colors.
We seem to be having a lot of warm winter days this year, and sometimes it’s tough finding the right outfits without looking like you belong at the beach. The deep green of this dress with gray, gold and a pop of color are perfect for the unseasonal heat!
