There's no denying it...

Well...as followers and regular visitors to my little piece of blog land over here will know, clearly I love anything to do with design, illustration, print, pattern and general creative loveliness... 

 But, my other BIG love is food! 
Yes, there's no denying it, I love eating it, reading about it, watching certain celebrity chefs cook it (no mention of Mr. Oliver! mmmmm) it and then dabbling with some of it in yummy recipes myself. 
And I do love a good foodie blog, especially one with beautifully styled images and this ones a keeper! 

I recently discovered call me cupcake and fell head over heels instantly as I searched the archives and cooed over the gorgeous photography and yummy recipes... just beautiful, and I'm sure you'll agree. 

Here are just a few of my favourite picks...

Weddings...

Having just celebrated our fourth Wedding Anniversary, I'm in the Wedding mood! 
(and it's the season for it!)



(image above taken from pinterest, click here to follow to original source)

There are so many beautiful inspirational blogs and websites out there now devoted to Wedding style and ideas, that I didn't even know existed when we were planning our special day all those many moons ago.

I still like to have a little look at the wedding blogs though, some absolutely gorgeous imagery on them and just generally lovely photographs and styling ideas. As well as showcasing real life weddings, a lot of them also do inspiration boards summing up an entire theme for brides to use as ideas, fabulous!
Here are a few of my faves.

Love this...

What a gorgeous little collection of images, love it!


Aren't the colours amazing, love how well they work when put together.
I found this group of loveliness over on Emma Lamb's blog, through a pinterest link. (don't you just love how pinterest can lead you discover hosts of beautifulness you did't even know existed, addictive or what...?)
Anyway, hop on over to Emma's blog if you get chance, it's well worth a look.

Just one example of the colour palettes/ concept boards

Sunday 'fill' of inspiration...

Ok, it's Sunday afternoon (I really should be cleaning!?) and I've literally spent the entire day having a total colour, blog, trend, design 'fest' and thoroughly enjoyed myself! (Once you start, one blog leads to another...?!) I'm a sucker for all things gorgeous; photographs, styling, colour, detail.... 
I've already posted on Color Collective, and 100 layer cake and Design Seeds  are yet more blogs that tick all the boxes! Full of inspirational imagery and colour ideas.

Color Collective

I'm really loving the blog of Lauren Willhite at the moment, 'Color Collective'
She creates colour palettes from various sources for designers to use in their own creative projects.
Some gorgeous imagery on there and fab ideas for colour!
