And, here's a rundown of this week's posts you might have missed - somehow I ended up with an art focused post each day without even planning it:

- A brand new vintage sunflower wedding invitation is now in my etsy shop to celebrate my 11th wedding anniversary
 - I heard animal prints are going to be a hot trend this fall. And, guess what? I just posted a pink zebra themed bridal shower inspiration board earlier this week along with a zebra bridal shower invitation.
 - Mini mason jars make a creative yet easy DIY Favor.
 - Whimsical watercolors of elegant fashion are paired with a brand new jewelry collection
 - A sneak peek at the Anne Barge Fall 2014 Black Label Collection with sketches

Before I share with you some of the hottest {most popular} pins of the past couple weeks, I have something that my brides might like to partake in. TheAnnouncementSite.com has launched and it's the place where newly engaged and married couples can announce their weddings and engagements. Here's how they describe their site: "

"The service is free and there are no hidden fees, upgrade gimmicks, or installations required, simply a straight-forward publishing site. The site takes the information from an online form filled out by a couple and uses proprietary software and professional human editors to create a classic, formal-style announcement. The result is an elegantly crafted and modern announcement that can be easily shared with the couples’ friends, relatives and colleagues. Bill Bulkeley, who worked as a Wall Street Journal reporter for many years, created TheAnnouncementSite.com to give couples a free, easy-to-use alternative to newspaper announcements."

And, now for what's been hot on my pinterest boards . . . looks like there's been lots of yellow and some AMAZING cakes, bouquets and wedding dress details. Don't you just love the back of the Anna Campbell Gossamer gown? And, the beaded neckline on the wedding gown means no necklace is needed. What about that 4-tier pillow cushion cake? BEYOND STUNNING!!! The yellow and green brooch bouquet is perfect for fall. Planning a rustic wedding? The 3-tier white and yellow wedding cake is a great choice. And, lastly, the yellow and white wedding cake with huge sugar flower is just lovely.

Hope everyone is having a great start to August and has some fun things planned for the weekend. This past week on pinterest it seems the trend was lace and roses in my top re-pins. Along with my top pins of the week, I'm also sharing the top re-pins that were hot from my own posts along with some amazing fashion finds I've been introduced to via my inbox :)

Durga-kali is a patent-pending collection of reversible dresses that women can wear again and again. The collection is geared towards women looking for a formal wedding look or a chic and sassy little black dress. You get two dresses for the price of one and I think they look fabulous! It's such a brilliant concept. 

Shail K. Dresses  {designed by Kimi Verma} reveals her fall collection. I love that Verma designs her dresses based on her belief that one can add glamor and glitz to any ensemble. Her designs feature a touch of embroidery, which adds the perfect level of class. Below is a sampling of the many new designs in her latest collection. 

Thinking of starting something new for Fridays in the summer {and maybe even continuing into the fall}.
