As I mentioned before in a post, one of my favorite fashion designer (probably, ever) is Leanne Marshall. I rarely describe something like this, but her style is simply just perfection to my taste.This has been posted on her blog since December, but since I was MIA from the computer a lot last month, I just saw this yesterday.
I was gasping in awe when I saw this custom wedding dress she did for a patron. It might just be the most stunning wedding dress I have ever seen. Ever.

It’s been a while since we have a Wedding Wednesday in this blog. I promise you, you’ll love this one. Do you remember these fabric invitations we did for Jeff & Jessica’s wedding last Fall?
Well, I was such at joy today to find out that Josh McCullock, the photographer of the big day, has posted tons of photos on his blog of the actual wedding day. Jessica was a friend of mine and it was such a bummer that I couldn’t come to the big day, but Josh did such a wonderful job capturing the day!
Jessica looks so pretty! The birdcage veil and the feathery hair accessories looks amazing on her.
She also mostly DIY the decorations. Don’t you love the old photos hung on tree bark? And of course the mason jar. Looks so lovely and really fits the vintage-barn wedding theme!
The ring-bearer also held responsible bearing a wagon filled with baby flower girls. How cute is that?! The ceremony takes place outside the barn.
Love this “tree lighting” inside the barn, which is where the reception was held. The color combination is one of my favorites! We actually did some labels too for their food buffet with matching design to their invitation. Wish I could show them to you!

I love that last send-off picture so much. It has so much energy and just so charming! Please visit Josh’s blog to view more of this wedding photos and visit his portfolio to view more of his works!

Is it spring already? My cold shivering feet certainly don’t think so. But I just can’t resist to post these fluttery loveliness. The white porcelain with outlined illustration is so pretty. The butterfly that hides beneath the cup looks like a gentle spring peeking out of a white winter to me. Such a nice little surprise!

As if keeping one blog is not consuming my time enough, I’ve decided to take on another project. Since the end of last year, I’ve been contemplating on doing “something-a-day” project to challenge myself creatively everyday. I promise you it was not because I watched Julie and Julia :)
So, at the end of December 2009, I was writing down my 2010 resolution and as a devout (trying to!) Christian, one of my high-priority resolution was to spend more time reading the Bible. I thought that I could probably combine it with my attempt on doing “something-a-day” project.
So today, I present to you: Light of Days.
It’s a project that tackles my discipline, spiritual maturity, and creativity, all at the same time. I’m interested to see how it all coming to be at the end of 2010! I hope you are following my journey :)

2010 means a lot for me. It’s a year of second chance, a year for me to get up, a year of lots of hard work, and a year to shine brighter. Here’s to a greater year ahead! Happy New Year, all!

This year, I participated on Brooklyn Bride’s Card Swap and here is what I came up with.
At the time, I was just doing a major furniture re-arrangement and decorating overhaul in my apartment and it was such a hectic time, especially with my friend’s visit. I couldn’t find my baker’s twine so I had to send the actual cards using jute twine instead. Anyways… this was such a quick, short, and definitely sweet project that I totally enjoy!
Hope you enjoy your Christmas Eve. Have a sweet one!

As I mentioned on earlier post, I had to entertain a friend while she was in town visiting me last week. We both LOVE dessert, chocolate, and basically anything sweet… just as portrayed on Love Ardently’s 2010 Calendar! *wink* So anyway, I took her to lots and lots of bakery and pastry shop… every single day. Here are some of the sweets we tried :)
The famous Sprinkles cupcake from Beverly Hills. I tried their Red Velvet and my friend tried their Chocolate Marshmallow. I would say both are just okay. Not as awesome as what I heard through words of mouth, but it’s not bad either. I thought the cupcake could be more moist. The Red Velvet is quite tasty, but I thought the cream cheese in the frosting could be more apparent. I love their wooden utensils :)
And then, there is Asian Mint. I love their Green Tea Layer cake and their Jasmine Crème Brûlée from the very first bite. Yum. The creamy frosting on the green tea cake was just right. The hint of jasmine smell on the crème brûlée was what really had me on the start. I really love it with the strawberry, too.
My friend loves fruit tart, so I got to take her to La Madeleine, a country French cafe, which is pretty rare to find in Oklahoma (shocker?). I haven’t tasted a lot of fruit tart, but I think La Madeleine’s fruit tart is just so, so divine. The fruits are ALWAYS fresh and taste great. We also tried their Chocolate Almond croissant which was delicious, too.
A while ago, I blogged about Tart Pastry on my first visit there. This is my second visit and it looked just as adorable. This time, I’m not loving my french macaron that much, though. I really, really like it when I had it on my first visit, but this time, I could almost taste that it was just coming out of the refrigerator. The triple layer chocolate cake that we had was good. Very creamy and delightful.
