ruthie sommers' home

I have seen LA designer, Ruthie Sommers' home in quite a few places lately.
I love her style: classic, livable and colorful.

stephanie & mike

yesterday i did the flowers for stephanie & mike's wedding at a gorgeous showroom in columbus circle here in nyc. it was a personal challenge for me because the look of the showroom and the taste of the couple was much more sleek & modern than my usual style, but altogether i was really happy with how it all turned out! argh - i am kicking myself because i didn't get a single photo of the bouquets! but i know that the wonderful photographer did, so i will post images when he puts them up. his photos will be better than mine anyway!

here are some images- 

billy balls & safflower in the bouts

**alert: this is a shameless re-post (with credit) from someone else's blog**
i have been staring at the images in this post from miss moss off and on for about two days straight now, so i figured now would be a good time to blog it. i love neon colors so much and am a huge fan of yago hortal... miss moss is so so good at coming up with street fashion images to relate with artwork!

God bless America!

I hope everyone had a happy 4th! 

Saw this cute picture this morning by Lucy Olson 

on Three Little Peppers and wanted to share.
