local style {xowyo paper}

I am thrilled to share with you the work of a very talented duo of local girls, Jenny and Cara, that also happen to be the newest delight by design sponsors. It all started when they worked together to create Cara's wedding suite. They enjoyed it so much that they decided to share their talent and started xowyo paper! They have a flawless design aesthetic and I love the non traditional materials they use and are planning to use in the future!

You can see more of their lovely designs on the xowyo website and on Cara's blog. And don't you just love their company name?

perfect [pattern on pattern] look

I am not one to post a single fashion editorial image--however, this image has been haunting me and begging to be posted. At first I couldn't decide my thought on the pattern on pattern look but lets just say it grew on me exponentially ever time I looked at it (it is pinned on my inspiration board) and now I think it just downright perfect!

And I think this style also perfectly showcases a lovely way to wear a dash of sequins. If you like this level of sparkle (like I do!) you will also love this shirt from vanessa bruno. Is the pattern on pattern look one you would take the risk to sport?

new sponsor: lily & co

I am beyond thrilled to add lily & co to the list of delight by design sponsors. Lily & co is a local shop that carries not only the most adorable home accessories and gifts but they are amazing when it come to flowers!

The above bouquet they designed is one of my all time favorites for its loose, textured and whimsical look. I highly recommend stopping in one of their two locations in Jackson or stopping by their lovely blog.
