This is the first post in a new series where every month I will showcase my favorite shop and some of the items I love. This is also a great opportunity to get inspired by the beautiful photographs each of them show to present the items they sell. So make sure you check back on the first of every month for new shop of the month!

West Elm has always been a love of mine. Their products are modern, fresh and natural. Their minimalist style shown through the design of their products as well as their photography is like a breath of fresh air. You can find lots of inspiration in their catalogs, which are also smartly designed. I recommend you sign up for their mailing list.

Adrienne Vita is an artist from Portland who studied animation and design. Her organic illustrations really got my attention not only because they are unique but colorful as well. Look to her work for inspiration on designing cheerful events such as weddings, birthdays and celebrations. The combinations of color she uses go so well with each other which makes the piece even that more awesome.

Check out her shop on Etsy, Arcane Arts, to see more of her work!

Abby Berkson is a fine artist from Northampton, MA who has a BFA in ceramics. She has  taught ceramics to children as well as assisting Connie Talbot at High Hollow Pottery for a number of years before starting her own business. I love her pottery because its delicate, sincere and her color palette is dreamy. Look to her work for inspiration when planning a wedding or bridal shower as well as other various parties and events.

I love this little series, Portrait of a Gown, that BHLDN posted today. The photography is beautiful and the neutral tones are serene and romantic. I had to share my favorite shots.
