I don’t know what took me so long to write this post, but I love balloons probably just as much as I love confetti and sprinkles! They’re colorful accents and include a natural dose of fun in just about anything! When I lived down on the Portland waterfront, one of my dreams was to fill the whole grassy hillside with balloons for people to take (like I did with the paper sailboats). Who knows? I still might do it someday!

What’s your favorite way to incorporate balloons into your life?

Today we’re switching it up and having a Color Destination post. I’m working a few hours tomorrow, so today doesn’t really feel like Friday. At work, at the end of every official month we have Chocolate Fridays. We have candy bars for everyone in the building. So, today’s I’m pretending by “travelling” to 100% Chocolate Cafe in Tokyo Skytree in Japan desgined by Wonderwall (via Spoon & Tamago). Seriously, just look at their website and you’ll wish you were there right now.

{Wish I Was Wed} Hengki Koentjoro

Black and white have such a classy striking contrast. In photography, it really brings out what you are trying to capture. Such is the case with Hengki Koentjoro’s work. Each is more breathtaking than the next. I really couldn’t stop browsing through it all until I was finished.

Have you ever experimented with black and white film or photography?

{Wish I Was Wed} Kenji Croman

I know that it’s not summer and that I really shouldn’t be daydreaming about waves, but these photos were too good not to share. A is all about wave photos. I’m not sure how that started, but we’ve been debating where we could put one in the house. I came across Kenji Croman’s beautiful photographs on Colossal and was just in awe. He also recently had a Kickstarter that was funded so he and his wife will be headed to South America soon! I can’t wait to see the results.

Do you like wave photos? Where is your favorite place to see waves?

{Lust List} Pardon My French!

Garance Dore Studio Pull Over ($128) | Petit Amour Necklace (£5) | Worth Street Croissant Bag ($98)

France has been on my to visit list for as long as I can remember. I even had a phase (that may or may not be over) when I collected little French inspired soveniours and vintage things. Let’s just say I’m thinking about having the guest room be Parisian because of all these little things I’ve gathered. I love these cute little French inspired things that I can now incorporate into my closet as well!

Have you been to France?

{Wish I Was Wed} Menno Aden

These amazing room portraits by Menno Aden really take me to a different perspective. I love how raw and real they are and how you really want tell a lot about a person or place based on where they live and work. If this was taken of my room today, I’d be a half unpacked slob, but that will change as I get settled I hope!

What would your room portrait look like?
