dorian + stephen :: colorado aspen wedding invitations

Dorian and Stephen had me customize the aspen tree wedding design that I had worked on for Erin and Jeff last year (as featured on Oh So Beautiful Paper).

Dorian and Stephen's wedding invitation is a beautiful neutral color palette of "thyme", "chambray", and "dough." Dorian and Stephen wanted to keep things environmentally-friendly and economical so instead of doing separate RSVP cards, we included the RSVP information on the back of the invitation. They choose blue envelopes to match the "chambray" text, which look beautiful.

someone came early

Meet John Raphael. He was due to arrive May 23, but he decided to make his appearance just under  two weeks early on May 12.

John Raphael Marty was born on Sunday, May 12, 2013 at 3:10AM. He weighed in at 5 pounds 10 ounces and is 18 inches long. He may have arrived as a little guy, but he is super healthy and strong as can be.

We have been home since Tuesday afternoon and are enjoying our time together and learning about one another.

I may be somewhat quiet on the blog for the next week or two as we enjoy this time. I am not sure how often I will post, but I  certainly want to try to as much as possible here and there; and then get back to regular posting in not too long.

In the meantime, I will be posting regularly/as usual on Instagram, Facebook (&chloe), and Facebook (my personal page).

blue spring

The jeans and sandals in this photo inspired an outfit combined with a Joie silk top and Soft Joie sweater I have been eye-balling...

The look came together with various shades of blue; at first this was not intentional, but after the denim, striped top, and sweater followed that trend, I decided to go in search of some blue sandals and sunglasses.

Black Orchid Bloodstone Jegging ( I am also drooling over these Citizen of Humanity Racer Low Rise Skinny jeans and these AG Skinny Ankle jeans - but I gotta get done being preg first!)

Joie Terry Stripe Print Top (and a similar one here)

Soft Joie Correy Sun Bleached Hoodie (also loving this sweater hoodie by Enza Costa)

Sam Edelman Greyson sandals in Blue/Zebra (I am also loving these in the white/black snake)

Do you ever dress monochromatically?
