blog it forward

I'm excited to be participating in the blog if forward mashup!

fun to follow everyone.  If this is your first time visiting thanks so
much for stopping by.  Be sure to head over to Billede Design,
Kiki is up next.  Before I forget, thanks to Behind the Red Door
for passing the torch.

I've been thinking a lot about what inspires me.  Like so many
bloggers before me it's hard to narrow it down - so many things
inspire me.  I'll try to stay focused.  Lets begin!


{simple beauty}

I love the simple elegance of Audrey Hepburn.  So
classic.  Oh how she made beauty seem so effortless!


{vintage fashion}

There is something about a beautiful vintage dress.  This 

dress is a 1950's Dior and it is exquisite!  I sometimes think 

I was born in the wrong era!  Everything about this photograph 

inspires me.

I love this image of the old Oakland Train Station.  It's beautiful as is. 

I would love to have a party here - want to join me? 

{mixed decor}

I love the mix of new and vintage in the home.  This couch looks

so comfy - you can curl up with a good book and a cup of tea and 

lounge for hours.


{flower power}

I am definitely a girly girl and this image has it all!  I

love the scale of the umbrella and the overall beauty of

this photo.  I want those shoes!

{the outdoors}

I wish I would take more time out of my days to stop

and smell the flowers, trees and plants.  My four year

old daughter has brought this to my attention and I need

to remind myself.

{the best inspiration}

Speaking of my daughter...........................this is Olivia.
She is the most energetic, funny, curious little girl.  She
inspires me everyday!


{my hubby}

This photo was taken at Olivia's fourth birthday party.  Marc is
the best dad and husband.  He is so supportive and allows me to
have full creativity over my business (Bella Vita).  He loves being
a father and is so good at it.  He has the patience of a saint and makes
Olivia & Me laugh everyday!  I love you!


Well, I think that is it for my blog it forward post.  I hope you enjoyed
your stay and I hope you will come back again.

I came across Hindsvik while I was searching for "something" on Etsy 

and stumbled upon this lovely collection of vintage finds.  Hindsvik sells 

more than children's items, so take a peak.  I am loving this new find!  They 

have very reasonable prices too!  Enjoy!
