Herb prints by Alissa Thiele

The rustic simplicity and muted color scheme of these charming prints caught my eye. (Wouldn't they look perfect displayed in a sunny kitchen?) You can purchase these prints and more of Alissa's handmade goodies at her Etsy shop, A Tea Leaf.

A girl and her Polaroid

Jen Gotch is such a talented gal. Aside from being a brilliant prop stylist and photographer, she is one of the creative minds behind the fabulous headpiece company ban.do. I'm completely smitten with her Polaroid still lifes, and her blog is one of my favorite reads.

P.S. On a completely unrelated note.....wasn't Kelly Osbourne adorable on Dancing with the Stars last night?

The recovering lazyholic

Calling herself a "recovering lazyholic," Erin Hanson battles laziness with photography. I adore her cute and clever Reminders series.

Snapshots: Hayden Panettiere

These beautiful photos of Hayden Panettiere were featured in the September 2008 issue of Prestige Hong Kong. (The second shot graced the cover.) Anyone know who the photographer is?

"I love light and airy photography"

Those are the words of photographer Kristybee, whom I learned of via All Things Lovely. Her photos are saturated with breathtaking natural light, giving them a dreamy, vintage feel. Stop by her Etsy shop or blog to see more of her lovely work.

Dreamy wedding dresses from Justin Alexander Couture

Here's a little-known fact about yours truly: I absolutely adore weddings. I don't anticipate getting married for at least a few years, but that doesn't stop me from scooping up bridal magazines at the newsstand or envisioning my own dream wedding. I frequently find myself perusing the websites of wedding gown designers, oohing and ahhing over their collections of gorgeous creations.

The dresses below are from the Justin Alexander Couture collection. I love their classic lines, sumptuous fabrics, and elegant accents. Aren't they stunning?

Blueberry bloggin'

My best friend took a job this summer at Hurst's Berry Farm in Oregon. I came across some of their fresh blueberries while grocery shopping the other day and got so excited that I startled my boyfriend and roommate. Naturally, I had to buy a carton. I haven't yet decided what to make with them, but I'm sharing a tiny bit of blueberry goodness with you to get myself in a blueberryin' mood.

Young talent

I discovered nikki.jane during a Flickr browsing session and am now experiencing a serious case of photographer's envy. Don't you just love the movement in these photos? Her photo commentary is so cute and witty, too.

The thing about this gal that amazes me most, though? She's only fourteen.
