Week Re-Cap

Uhm. So today marks a month until I graduate from the greatest university. And I'm s t r e s s e d. About a lot of things. But it's okay, this past week was wonderful. My organizaiton won a lot of money and an award. I got to see a bunch of my friends and I ate a lot of delicious foods. This week I have a lot of assignments due (but most are already turned in) and tomorrow I am being inducted into the Burnt Orange Society - something I've been working toward since freshman year. Also, I am vlogging this week in my life so get ready for that! I hope you are having a glorious week - xoxo darling, Hayden.

Graduation Announcement Reveal

Can you believe it is already halfway through April? Because I can't. It means I am incredibly close to graduation...in fact it is a month and a day until I graduate. And what better time to reveal my graduation announcements? A while back I decided that the official invitations were too ugly for my taste. But I didn't want to do a TinyPrints/Minted one with photos because I don't like sending photos of just myself to people. I decided to make the "official" invitations I wished we had.
First I stopped in at the Paper Place in Austin for burnt orange shimmer paper. Funny story, I had gone to the store in October to look at their paper and I saw the orange, took a photo of it and intended to send it to my mom - I forgot. But then in November, while I was in class, my mom went to the same store and found the paper intent to show me. This is just yet another way of showing how we are the same person.
From there I designed the invitation on Adobe inDesign. I pulled the seal from Google Images and aligned everything center. The font is one of UT's official fonts. Lastly, we printed it on white card stock and glued it to the orange background. I'm quite happy with the way they turned out! They are exactly what I wish our official invitations looked like - simple and elegant.
The stamps are part of the Forever collection and we used a burnt orange marker to write the addresses. Lastly, the stickers came from the University Co-Op.
What did your college graduation announcements look like? - xoxo darling, Hayden

Mood Board

I was recently on Pinterest, hey give me a follow if you don't already, and I noticed how I have a very significant theme going on. Very millennial pink, very food oriented and just a very specific aesthetic. I thought I would compile some of my favorite images of the moment into a little inDesign project for you. I love the idea of doing a breakfast party (see "Let's Get Eggcited"), throwing a pink velvet bow in my hair or being a little bolder with my wardrobe. What does your aesthetic look like right now? - xoxo darling, Hayden
