sweet sweet afternoon

Yesterday was a very sweet day! I decided to bake mini-cupcakes for a dear friend, who just had the prettiest baby.

I bet you would love to bake this delicious mini-cupcakes this weekend, am I right? I don’t know if you guys remember, but the recipe is the same one I used on this post – and it’s available on Martha Stewart’s website. Happy baking everyone!

Smock

Smock lovely letterpress greeting cards — sustainably printed on bamboo paper. Their retail packaging is tree-free and petroleum-free and certified biodegradable. Isn’t it awesome (and, oh so pretty)?

Giambattista Valli

Giambattista Valli‘s first Haute Couture collection, fall/winter 2011/2012. The 1960s-inspired collection was a homage to great couturiers of the past. Stunning! I adore the hand-made details and the micro pearls.
