Eyelet | Inspired by This Blog

Today I’m heading up to San Francisco and Napa wine country for my bachelorette party and bridal shower brunch. The brunch will be held in Napa at the lovely Carneros Inn. My invitations were so lovely and created by Heidi of Zenadia Designs. My girlfriends Michelle Curtis and Jenny Devoto worked with her to create a surprise invitation booklet that was SO me; Eyelet lace, yellow and white gingham with lemons on it. It is so gorgeous! Wait till you all see it!! Thanks Heidi! Nancy Liu Chin, the goddess of floral design in SF is styling my shower- I can’t wait to see what she does when we get up there on Saturday. Caroline from Tiny Water Photography will be capturing all of the special moments at the shower! I feel so blessed to get to be surrounded by so many great friends, and the work of so many fabulous wedding vendors!! The inspiration for the shower is lemons. Beyond excited to see how it all turns out and to share it with you!

The Image that sparked it all! Maria from Ritzy Bee shared this image on my blog during her guest post almost a year ago. Thanks Maria I love it! xoxo

Having lived in California my whole life, where some might say we are deprived of the four seasons, I have come to embrace the changing fashion rather than the leaves or snow. I love when its time to layer and add tights for the fall and also when the fabrics become lighter, less constructed and more whimsical for the spring and summer. One of my standout fabric favorites for such time is eyelet. Its so feminine but not at all too dressy. Its just the fabric you want to made a dress out of and spend a barefooted day at the beach in, or maybe at a picnic. You want to be outdoors, soaking up all of the sunshine and natural goodness. I love how the images below show so many different uses of lovely eyelet. As we are forecasted to enjoy another week in the mid 70′s and it is now officially spring I encourage you all to go out and get yourself some eyelet.
