Basic Black

As someone who loves clothes, getting dressed and all-things-fashion…I still find myself confused as the colder weather moves in. I want my look to say “Fall” but I have trouble putting that look together. I tend to gravitate towards layers of black until I get my winter sea-legs, and really throughout the chilly months. You can’t go wrong with black and you can infuse the same outfit, time after time, with colorful shoes, scarves and jewels.

Adorable

I recently discovered the cutest little wedding photographed by Feather Love

The couple (Kestrin and Jonathan) look like so much fun, plus the bride is gorgeous and is in a band with the brother from Big Love called His Orchestra – they are great! Anyway, the groom’s sister is Flora Grubb and she shared their vows on her website. SO. Freaking. Adorable.

“Jonathan: I vow to love you
Kestrin: I vow to love you
J: to respect you
K: to always make fun
J: to be your best friend ever
K: to constantly generate a force field of awesome to guide and protect us

K: to actively maintain our relationship

Also, please read the NYT write-up of their union. “Ms. Pantera, the former Jedi warrior, pledged in her wedding vows “to constantly generate a force field of awesome.” When asked about her hopes for the couple, the bride’s mother, Jan Pantera of Visalia, Calif., said, “I wish for them a good credit score,” revealing the origin of the bride’s practicality.”

On The Water

In Fayetteville, it’s bikes, blues and barbecue season. While I love the event for our small city’s economy. I don’t so much love living next door to all the ripping and roaring of the bikes. Today I’m rather wishing that my beau and I were going somewhere magical for the weekend, maybe sailing?

What’s Next For Brad?

According to People, Brad is parting ways with Rachel! He’s my favorite part of the show so I hope he’s moving on to bigger and better things.

I recently discovered this editorial featuring Elisa Sednaoui. I love the 40’s feel and the dreamlike quality of the photos. Plus, I am loving Elisa Sednaoui. She is WhoWhatWear‘s current Girl of The Month. From WWW: “In addition to earning her acting chops in small French films, she also happens to be Karl Lagerfeld’s latest muse, is part of H&M’s current advertising campaign, and, most importantly, has a seriously enviable wardrobe filled with enough Chanel and Christian Louboutin to make any fashion lover jealous.” Plus…she’s stun.

More Of CoverGirl Drew

As mentioned here, Drew Barrymore really hit the mark in a shoot for Harper’s Bazaar October 10. She has (dare I say it) never looked better. I’m totally digging that hair and her body looks fierce! Kudos to the stylist of this editorial shot by photographer Mark Seliger.
