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.

I am happy to share my new little addition to the blog, my color palettes inspired by the things I love. The first is Art Inspired Color Palettes but there will be more coming soon. You can access the palettes from the menu on the right. Each week I plan to post at least two so come back and check in often. To introduce each one, I will add a new post with a little about each artist. Hope you all can find inspiration in what inspires me.

The first addition!

Paola is an artist from Cordoba, Argentina. You can find her illustrations in her Etsy shop, Holli. I am drawn to her delicate lines and soft palette of color. Her work is whimsy, childlike and simply beautiful. Look to her drawings when planning a wedding, bridal or baby shower and parties for children.

There are a lot of different themes for a wedding. Most of the time natural elements are a part of the decor. Whether you want a romantic feel or more fun, flowers and plants usually play a big part in the overall concept. Although its always nice to be surrounded by lush flowers, I prefer to have a more Earthly feel to my special day. Plus, if you are planning an eco-friendly event, picking flowers that will eventually wilt and die is far from that concept.

So for all you brides out there that truly want an organic themed wedding, here are some great inspirations that might help you. Free, alive, wild and fresh is what I am going for here. Picture being in a garden full of herbs, wild weeds and plants galore. That is where I want to be. If you want a little of both, that is cool too.

I came across this wedding and I was really taken back by how beautiful and soft all the decor looked. From the flowers to the vintage plates, this event had vintage flair and feminine touches. How can you resist the natural earthy theme and comfort styled feel? I can’t!
