I absolutely love to travel, and as a result there are many cities that hold some wonderful memories for me. So when I saw these fun prints by Jose of Bird Ave, I immediately felt the need to start a collection of all the cities I've visited. I know all of us here are photography lovers (I may even be bordering on obsessive :) But sometimes a beautiful illustration is the perfect compliment for a particular space. What better way to remember your birthplace, honeymoon, or the places you've lived?

(08.22.11 @ 10:07 AM)WOW! I just LOVE these! I want so many of them but I think I would choose the Denver one. I have lived in Denver since I was 7 and up until recently have always wanted to escape. Now I am in LOVE with Denver, the charm and easy going attitude. Now I can never imagine leaving.
(08.22.11 @ 10:24 AM)Oh! and I am already signed up for your fabulous newsletter. It is so beautiful, informative... sign up for it people! ;)
(08.22.11 @ 10:26 AM)I LOVE THESE!! I would get Paris in Yellow... my favorite color and place! :) Unlesssss they do Milwaukee then I would get that... but Mil isn't usually on a top cities list ;)
(08.22.11 @ 10:44 AM)These prints are so cool. It would be hard to choose. I love the Paris one-(in gray, I think-because it rained a lot when I was there). If there was a Chicago one, I'd get that in Aqua...but they're all amazing.
(08.22.11 @ 08:53 PM)Well I'd have to go with the Seattle print ... love the downtown one.
(08.22.11 @ 10:49 PM)Minneapolis (where I am from and WANT to be), but I also lived in NYC and LA and would love those. I was going to make a joke about there not being one for Omaha (which is where I unfortunately live right now), but there is one! :)
(08.22.11 @ 10:59 PM)Ooo I just love these prints! How fun. I think I would go with the Paris one, if I were to choose. Its one of the places that is on my bucket list!
(08.23.11 @ 11:14 AM)I love the "you can be anyting you want to be --- true" print....
and I am now getting your newsletter...
(08.23.11 @ 11:34 AM)I would love the Nashville print in blue!!
(08.23.11 @ 11:36 AM)I subscribed to your newsletter!

(08.23.11 @ 04:00 PM)So many cute ones to choose from, I want them all!
(08.23.11 @ 04:01 PM)I love them all! But I would choose the Chanel one of the London Skyline!
(08.23.11 @ 04:08 PM)I would choose the Portland, OR one or one of the monopoly or drink ones - they are all so cute!
(08.23.11 @ 04:10 PM)I also signed up for the newsletter!
(08.23.11 @ 04:12 PM)Super CUTE!! Adding to my pinterest board now! :) I would want Chicago if they had it for sure!!!

So we have just over a month left of summer folks! Can you believe it?! The scents of pumpkin and autumn will soon fill our homes and stores. We will get to rock boots and scarves again! Oh, I'm getting ahead of myself. It's still summer Laura, calm down...
Anywhoo, since we do still have 35 days left of summer (but who's counting?!) I figured I could gush all over my favorite summer shoe! If you're a quick one (and I know you are) you probably already guessed what it is. Don't get a big head now. I totally gave it away in the title.
Yup. It's the wedge. And I
have a girl crush. Yeah, all shoes are obvs girls. Especially really pretty
ones like these:

If you are new to the wedge scene, neutral colors are usually safe. They elongate your legs (for midgets like me. Ok, I'm not really a midget.) and go with almost anything! Wear them with dark colors, bright colors, and even with other neutrals. They are super versatile.
Once you play around with the taupes, cognacs, and whites for a little bit, I challenge you to bring some color into the mix. Colorful wedges can add a real kick to a more muted or "safe" outfit. Can't you just picture an LBD {little black dress} looking 10x better with those periwinkle wedges above? Just make sure to keep them a little on the simple side so they aren't too much. They should turn heads in a GOOD way!
Still hesitant about wedges? Keep in mind that you don't have to have "the perfect wardrobe" to make a look with wedges work. The great thing about them is that they can dress up or down an outfit. Paired with more casual clothes, they class it up a notch. But with a more sophisticated ensemble, they help you not look so stuffy. They're the chameleons of shoes.
So fear not my friends: wedges are for everyone. Yes, even you, Amazonian woman... Wear wedges, be tall, be beautiful!
Oh my those are adorable... I love the blue ones!

These are great Keri! The calm/not calm cracked me up and I love the one of your boys on the dock.
(08.17.11 @ 06:18 AM)That looks like a ton of fun, I love the picture of you and your boys!
(08.17.11 @ 10:01 AM)Love the trip -it was such fun - thanks so much for sharing your photos with all of us. Next here it sounds like Mark volunteered to take the lead on where we meet.
All the photos are awesome and a great legacy! thanks
