From Russia with Love

Black lace, expertly placed skin, ruffles and sparkles. I’m entranced by this voluptuous editorial.

Looking Forward to Fall

Ok. Officially. It is too hot. I’ve given up hope that it will ever cool down. I’m thinking we will have to bring sweats and leggings to Italy where the high is a balmy 82 and the low is a frigid 60. If fall ever comes, here are a few things I look forward to wearing.

This Weekend

I’m heading to the lake with girlfriends for a weekend of thrills and chills. Hope yours is epic or rejuvenating, whichever you prefer….

Carefree

Julia Stegner is as beautiful as ever in this editorial from Harper’s Bazaar 2008. I love the juxtaposition of the black & white against the desert. Enjoy!

What I Wore: Mad Men Inspired

(what i wore: dress – vintage, pumps – michael antonio, nails – sally hanson)
Yesterday I wanted to channel Joan so I pulled out a vintage dress, my absolutely tallest pumps and went on my way…

From the Weekend

It was quite an eventful weekend. We got a cake sample for our wedding cake and it tasted as good as it looks. .
A new and exciting sponsorship opportunity from BeBop Clothing. I got some goodies in on Friday and couldn’t wait to try them on – more to come!
Karaoke with Ro, my brother Hampton & his brother William. I couldn’t stop myself from singing “Alone” by Heart but regretted it later…
Ro’s mom came up bearing gifts! Including the below four poster bed frame for our room & a dining table. I’m obsessed.
Some sweet friends threw a stock the bar party for us and it was incredibly lovely. Here’s a picture with my mom. (dress – vintage from the grey dog)

Spoils from the stock the bar. Planning this wedding has certainly shown me how many people love us. I feel very special.

I hope you had a lovely weekend!

Taking the Pixie Plunge

I have always, always wanted to chop ALL my hair off. I have never come close to actually doing it but it remains in my list of things I ‘have to do’. So who’s transformation is the best? I’m a big fan of Michelle Williams’ short hair but not quite as short as below. Et tu?
