Home.

We have major house obsessions over here.  Long before we were sittinginatree we were working in the interior design industry crushing on chairs, rearranging our furniture at 2 am, and tearing pages out of Domino magazine.  Our houses our true illustrations of who we are- not just a residence, but a home.  A tour through both of our houses would teach you volumes about who we are as people.  We collect many of the same pieces of furniture, but our houses could not be more different.  Myka's is sparkling white, full of clean lines and modern references.  Mine is bohemian, colorful, and full of furry children. 

So because my home is such an extension of me, I've always been curious about the way other people live. At night, walking my dogs, I adore when windows light up and I can catch a glimpse of what's inside the homes of those around me.  Little stories are told about who people are and what they do.  For years I've stalked Design Sponge and Apartment Therapy falling in love with peoples' mementos and collections.  And at times I've been tempted to document my own space through photography, capturing on film what it says about who I am, for the world to study and love or loath, just as I've done with so many others.  So, naturally, I'm pretty smitten with this series of photos Feather Love shot of people inside their dwellings.  Their cabinet of curiosities, as she calls it.  Nothing could be more up my alley.

Here's Ingrid in her San Francisco home.  Enjoy.  

XO,

Down by the Sea Shore.

Recently, we had the pleasure of touring this uber pretty new venue in San Diego for some clients.  We cannot wait to do a wedding here and have our fingers crossed for next summer.  Not only is it backed by the ocean and palm trees but the space is an architectual gem.  All those angles, straight lines and walls of glass?  A stunning setting for a modern couple's wedding.  Scripps Forum is on the campus of UCSD (where one of us was an undergrad) and it is truly breathtaking.  The interior is such a blank canvas that the possiblities are endless and we hope to transform it with our touch at some point.  

In the meantime, feast your eyes on the next best thing.  This recent wedding shot by Hugh Forte in the space...

A-A-A-mazing!

As you know, we are seriously addicted to Australian weddings...as evidenced here, here, and here.  Is it just us or do all Australian brides exude an extra dose of the cool factor?  This bride's frothy dress is MAJOR and we can't help but fall in love with it!  You must check out the rest of this beautiful wedding here.

Uhhhh, hi...we just diiiieeeeddd over the dress in the below pic, rightside.  We NEED it now!

Branding your Wedding.

My favorite invitations are the ones that pay attention to type. Once you've chosen an awesome typeface, colors, design and all the other details should fall into place. You set the tone for your wedding through your invitations, so don't ever cut short on them! When I saw these invitations on Oh So Beautiful Paper I wanted to high five the couple for pulling together such a perfectly-styled invitation suite. 

Loving the way they incorporated two different colors on their envelope liners. If you have the time/money to get envelope liners, I definitely recommend it. They totally make a difference, and as you can see from these, create a unique look that helps add to your overall wedding theme. (They're easy to make yourself too, if you want to DIY it!)

You can add so much more info, graphics, and typefaces with a wedding poster. What a fun idea!

They created their wedding logo/brand from their initials and even made coasters with it. Oh, the details...gotta love them!

Vintage Love Shoot. Style Me Pretty.

We all know about our love for typewriter guestbooks (Myka's own wedding) and vintage handkerchiefs (Tori's invitations), right?  So of course we are pretty smitten with the photo shoot we got to guest blog about on Style Me Pretty today.  Head on over and check out all the drool worthy goodness shot in a pretty, pretty vineyard.  We really heart these details.
