Happy Weekend!

It’s Friday and while I’m dreaming of some serious rest and relaxation, I’ll have to settle by admiring these polaroids Kristen shot while we were away on a business trip in Palm Springs last month. Here’s to hoping a poolside weekend will come again soon! Happy weekend everyone!

Feeling a little nautical today. It’s summer and all these pieces could definitely be added into my life right now! How cute is the wine tote from J.Crew, and don’t you love those canvas shoes from Kate Spade? Enjoy!

All Hearts for Wren

I’m lusting over the new summer 11′ collection from Wren. The style is so effortlessly pretty and drapes beautifully on their model. The looks feature tie dyed and batiked fabrics that look so soft and oh so comfortable! I love feminine, flowy clothing and Wren now has a new fan. Next time you see me, I just may be wearing one of these looks. Here’s to hoping that I will be!

Handmade Art to LOVE

Jennifer — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 13:00:38 +0000

I LOVE finding special pieces for my home and in my little fashion world, so I’m really excited to share my newest obsession of handmade goods with you; Deep Dark Africa. This cool company has beautiful handmade bags I’m drooling over, some amazing little bowls I’m ready to put in my kitchen, and some very neat pillows I could get used to in my guest bedroom. Everything on this site is handmade from designers and artisans in Africa. They create their work in the hopes they can share their art with the world. They pride themselves on evolving their own style into modern pieces while remaining true to their roots. I hope you love these pieces as much as I do!

Hello!

Jennifer — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 18:06:16 +0000

Wow, I can’t believe how fast we are moving through 2011! I’m really happy to be back here and writing a post today! We’ve been gone for quite a few months so let me tell you what we’ve been up to;

So, back in late January when our lives were getting a little crazy, Kristen and I made a concious decision to take a little break from writing here on ColourLuxury so we could focus on our businesses and a very special wedding; Kristen’s wedding! 6 months later, we’re back, and ready to get back into this! Between a wedding for Kristen, a house move and a businesses warehouse move for me, and a serious focus on growing my pet product business, there wasn’t a lot of time to be creative here on the blog, and I’ve really been missing that. I love to write, I love to look for inspiration, and generally just love the creative freedom this blog can allow us!

For those of you who know Kristen, she got married at the end of April. She’s a wedding, portrait, and commercial photographer so this was definitely a switch up for her being on the other side of the camera at a special event. I was her Maid of Honor, and spent a few months planning a pretty amazing bachelorette party in Beverley Hills (if I must say so myself), attended a few wedding showers (and helped host one), and of course had tons of family and friends in town here in Santa Barbara for the big day! As you all know, being a bride or a member of the family during the planning of a wedding is definitely time consuming but nonetheless ensures some of the most memorable days of your families’ lives.

(Hoping Kristen will be able to share their wedding photos for you on here. There was amazing decor at the wedding I’m sure you will love!)

So, the wedding has happened, my pet product business is growing, and Kristen has re-decorated her studio here in town (amazing work-bench type table we found at local flea market and some really neat Restoration Hardware chairs…will share photos with you soon). So much has happened this year and we really want to be able to write about it. We would love to focus on connecting with our readers through creativity with home decor, our love for fashion, and possibly with advice on entrepreneurship too!

I’m really happy to be back and writing here, let’s inspire one another and get this train moving!

Here are some recent polaroids Kristen shot in La Jolla, Ca this December. They’re so beautiful! I wanted to pick 3 images to share with you, but couldn’t resist adding all of them. You can find these images in our Lucy + Ellen shop by clicking on each individual image down below. Enjoy!
