Happy {Rainy Day} Weekend

The rain just keeps coming down and down and down. Luckily my uber-thoughtful fiance got me a pair of wellies for my birthday so I'm well outfitted for whatever mother nature might throw my way.

I'll happily wear mine just about anywhere, especially here. If you're staying indoors this weekend, be sure to check out our newest sponsors, Reverie boutique and Our.City.Lights.

Whatever you do, I hope you stay dry this weekend. Till Monday luvies.

A cozy retreat from the lashing rain and daily grind. I want to snuggle into the couch, wrap up in a warm sweater, under a soft blanket and be left to comb through my stacks and stacks (and stacks) of magazines in total serene quiet.

Till then, back to reality. Le sigh.

Razzle Dazzle

I mentioned accessories earlier this week and they remain top of mind as holiday party invites start hitting my inbox. This time around I'm vowing to shop my closet for my holiday attire...with the exception of the statement necklace.

I'd add it to the perfect LBD, tuxedo jacket or even a simple T. Making a festive statement for less than $20? Cheers to that!

New Sponsor - Reverie Daydream Boutique

I am so excited to introduce Apartment #34's newest sponsor, Reverie Daydream Boutique. I discovered the gorgeous shop and blog after the owner Melissa left me a sweet comment.

It appears that the word reverie is a french noun meaning the state of dreaming sweetly and comfortably, a state of enjoyment and pure happiness.

The Reverie Daydream Boutique certainly has plenty of delicious goodies that would quickly put you in a blissful state.

Look no further for all your holiday shopping needs. I'm currently coveting the purewhite candles and bird of a feather notecards.

Take some time to browser the Reverie shop and blog. You'll be happy you did!

Wedding Wednesday {The Perfect Pairings}

This week we're working with our brilliant designers at Brown Sugar Studios to finalize our invitation suite so I have letterpress on the brain. There's nothing more impressive than an amazingly coordinated invite set.

These are a few of my current favorites.

Do I spy bakers twine??

I've never seen country look so classy!

You should know the pears and blossoms were hand drawn by the bride! Swoon. I'm dying to share our invites with you, but we'll all just have to wait until they hit the mail. It'll be here before you know it, trust me.

PS. Brides - there is a great letterpress giveaway at 100 Layer Cake this week. Don't miss your chance to enter!

New Sponsor - Our.City.Lights

Please welcome our new sponsor Our.City.Lights, the brainchild of talented photographer Diana.

I'm particularly in love with her affordable polaroids and prints. Who doesn't want stunning original art in their house?

Be sure to check out the Our.City.Lights etsy shop and Diana's blog for more stylish finds.

Sole-full Decor {Brian Atwood}

Ever since I spotted these Brian Atwood flannel pumps I can't get them out of my mind - I'm reminded of them everywhere (Santa do you hear me!).

See how nicely they'd fit into every room in the house? I swear I've been a good girl this year...

Monday Work Wear {Accessories Edition}

This week I feel like sticking to the basics, but kicking them up a notch with eye catching accessories.

With the holiday season rapidly approaching it's the perfect way to add a little dazzle to your daily wear. For example, you might add a bit of sparkle to your neck or wrist.
