I know ONE too many people who need to read this right now.

 I'm not naming any names but, you. And you. And you.

"You can hold tight to facts or truths that you know, despite the buzzing “what-ifs” that fly around you. In a way, you can walk forward stronger and more assured because you are putting faith in yourself being okay with any outcome. You can’t control people or what they do, and you can’t make everything happen perfectly in life. You can however, assure that you feel okay and peaceful throughout all of it.

Take comfort in the knowledge that you will be okay. No matter what. You are strong, you will take care of yourself and heal, and you will grow stronger every day." — Sarah May Bates

These aren't just any balloons.

These are GERONIMO balloons. No really, that's what they're called. These perfectly round, whimsical things have been on my radar for awhile now but I feel like it's time that I share them with you because we're friends and that's what we do here. I think they'd make the most perfect wedding decoration, don't you? Or just to like, have chill in your room and make you happy. 

A little video about the company and the woman behind it all:

Edit: Ohmygosh. I found this equally amazing balloon company (though I think they're located in the UK) called BonBon Balloons. This is the future of BEAUTIFUL BALLOONISM, PEOPLE.

Spring Decorating

Long have I avoided putting anything in jars as a form of decorating since it has recently become somewhat of a cliche  (THE HIPSTERS ALL OVERDID THE MASON JAR ISH AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT K FINE I HAVE ONE I PUT MAKEUP BRUSHES IN WHY AM I YELLING?) but I may have to cave when decorating this spring. This simple jar filled with white flowers is just too fresh-looking to pass up.

OHP. The next style book I'mma gonna need.

I'm beginning to loathe the term "Parisian-chic" (start reading fashion magazines at a young age and it'll happen) but OH do those French ladies sure know how to dress....side note, I feel like this is a pretty consistent topic on my blog. Oh well. Deal. My blog not yours. 

Inès de la Fressange, a premiere model for Chanel in the 80's, (UMM BEST TIME EVER) has recently written a style guide for all us common folk who just don't have that boatneck-striped T/black skinnies/flats-combo down to a natural science yet. According to Fressange, only eight closet items are necessary to transform you from Average American dresser to French and Fresh. That alliteration was my own. Thank you. 

PS I would officially like to change my name to Liz de la Welle. 

Don't you love the layout?! I like how everything seems handwritten and scrapbooky. 

I can't get over how stinkin cute the pages are. 

Go forth. Be fashionably French. And buy the book here.
