Love Notes…

Monday, June 29th, 2009

I love the new Tiffany Notes collection inscribed with sentiments of joy, love, and dreams. What a perfect way to say “I love you” or “I’m thinking (dreaming) of you”. I think one of the bracelets would make a treasured wedding gift…

I’ll have a peek at our renovated studio space later this week. It’s been keeping me quite busy! I’m so excited to get to the point where I can share some photos!

Vintage & Jeweled – Kate Spade

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

This is so beautiful- I absolutely fell in love with this vintage, mode dress from Kate Spade…the soft two toned color palette set into a geometric pattern is so lovely. Clean and simple lines are the perfect backdrop for the jewel detailing. I’d say an elegant early afternoon garden party wedding would be the perfect setting for the Megan Dress.

Back detail…

And here’s the Jackie Comb from my Naugi line which I would use 2 to 3 of and tuck around a long rolled pony tail perhaps…

Exquisite details and sophisticated styling combined with a budget friendly price tag make this dress one of my favorite picks!

Old Hollywood Glamour – Sarah Seven

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

I am completely utterly enamoured with Sarah Seven’s beautiful designs. The photography is gorgeous as well… you’ll fall in love with the artistic way the pieces are presented. A designer from Portland Oregon she infuses a mix of inspirations from nature, romance, recycled fabrics, lace and pearls into the glamorous designs. I was going to show a gown from her esquisit bridal line but I can’t get the above pictured Raspberry Perfection dress out of my mind. I just LOVE it and want it…but for what? It would be the perfect maid of honor dress or even better it would be absolute perfection for a rehearsal dinner dress! So beautiful and I am so glad to have found her amazing work!

I am Loving : A $4000 Giveaway on Style Me Pretty & Incredibly Sweet Crew Cuts

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

I wouldn’t change a thing about my own wedding in April 2004, but there are certainly things that I see that make me say “oh, I wish I could of had that”! Here are a few things I found yesterday that left me pining: There is an amazing (and I mean AMAZING) giveaway going on over at Style Me Pretty. Just announced yesterday…they are teaming up with Crate & Barrel to give away a $4000 gift certificate! Wow, that’s huge! The rooms I could have filled…

And then yesterday afternoon I was at J.Crew’s website considering this beach dress when I popped into Crew Cuts. Have a look at this flower girl dress so perfectly named Alison. I mean it is just so incredibly sweet that I literally said out loud “Ohhhhhh”! The cap sleeves, the bow, the silk taffeta are aptly called “utter perfection” in the product description.

To top it off Crew Cuts also has the most adorable satin ballet slippers I’ve ever seen. LOVE! I want to dress my nieces Sophia and Olivia in this dress and shoe ensemble so badly…too bad I don’t have a good reason to do so.
