When I saw this amazing fairy tale-like photography by Jessica Claire I was giddy. Never mind the gorgeous details like balloons made into hot air balloons (just brilliant), the outdoor table artfully clustered with antique details, or the super perfect, super cute hot air balloon invitations, the photography is beautiful- subtle colors tinged with afternoon sun. Really beautiful. I’m so glad I found her work. GO on over to her blog/website to see more shots from this event and learn more about her.

A Gorgeous Fairy Tale
Thursday, October 1st, 2009My Inbox – Kate Spade
Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009No other company knows how to get me to click from my inbox over to their website like Kate Spade. As if the ultra retro Carly shoes weren’t cool and sparkly enough on their own they always up the ante with presentation. I think these beautiful slingbacks would looks pretty great peeping out from under a wedding gown…
House of Lavande
Tuesday, September 15th, 2009As I mentioned yesterday Kristen Stewart wore a House of Lavande cuff to the VMA awards on Sunday night. Curiosity sent me looking for more information and I LOVE what I found! I can’t believe I didn’t know about this fabulous company, which scours flea markets and estate sales around the world, looking for vintage collectible costume jewelry. My love of jewelry began in my grandmother’s jewelry box so I completely relate to the passion it surely takes to seek out these pieces. The House of Lavande website is filled with beautiful photography and a section where if you are so luckily inclined you can purchase one of their found treasures.
I just can’t tell you how much I LOVE the above four necklaces paired together. I’m tingling with excitement right now!
Not sure if I love the dress of the jewelry more, or if I just love the idea of lounging around looking so beautiful.
Greek goddess
I take the dog, pool, the beautifully rolled hair, and the stunning green bracelet.
Hope you enjoy this find as much as I do!
Kristen Stewart Rocks the VMA's
Monday, September 14th, 2009
Kristen Stewart’s brief appearance at last night’s MTV VMA Awards was perfect! She’s always stunning and was easily the best dressed last night, artfully wearing a soft slate Valentino dress from the Fall 2009 Ready-to-Wear line (LOVE the neck line), Rock & Republic heels, and a House of Lavande cuff. And the hair…she’s so cute! She knows fashion and never fails to dress when it matters. I’d love her even if I didn’t love the Twilight books. Yay, for a stunning appearance last night!

A closer look at the intricate detailing on the amazing Valentino dress and the super cute hair. LOVE!!!












Vera Wang – Spring 2010
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009I wasn’t in New York for Bridal Market this past weekend but I feel like I was due to the fabulousness that is Twitter. The updates from various sources attending the shows make me just plain giddy. The bloggers at Martha Stewart are prolific and thorough in their coverage. Their coverage of Vera Wang’s Spring 2010 made me jump up and down in my chair! The collection is inspiring with touches of black everywhere. I feel validated now for all the black headpieces I pushed on my customers over the summer. Yeah, I’m smiling!
