All that glitters

Die-die-dying over these sequins and sparkles and the simple, slicked back hair. The color, the slight tan and easy make-up. Everything is right.

The Princess

WORK THE CROWD photo | Kate Middleton

Ok…I have royal wedding fever just like everyone else. I’m not sure I’ll wake at 3am to watch Guiliana’s E coverage but I’m still excited. I can’t wait to see what she’ll wear!! Everyone waits with breath that is baited. I heard that everyone in the UK gets Thursday and Friday off, duh. Kate Middleton looks gorgeous – here are a few more shots of her for your viewing pleasure.

Crazy Love

I’m OBSESSED with this editorial. Especially the first photo which seems to scream Romeo & Juliet in a modern/princess/fashion way. Such high spirits in these photos! Doesn’t everyone deserve to be as happy as this?

My Wedding Inspirations

Today is April 27th. That means our wedding is exactly four months away. I hyperventilated a bit when I realized. In honor of that and of the royal wedding (of course) I thought I’d share some of my wedding inspirations. If Kate Middleton forsakes Queen Victoria’s jewels for flowers in her hair I will never forgive her.

Bridal Inspiration {Invitations}

Have you heard of Minted? It’s only my favorite stationary shop online. What do you think about doing an ultra-modern invitation? I feel like I want something modern and “us” or just very traditional – beautiful paper and script. What do you think?

I Love Gallery Walls

Sometimes you can have too much of a good thing. I don’t believe that applies to art on the walls. When done right, a gallery wall can be spectacular. It can be done in any room, with or without a theme. It can cover a blank wall or a busy one, a small room or a large one…just make sure you’re happy when you walk in and don’t be afraid to take a few decorating chances.

The Palm Springs Getaway

I have not seen so much rain in a short time span as I’ve seen over the past week. I’m beginning to forget what the sun looked like. That is, until I saw this gorgeous photoshoot of a Palm Springs getaway.

Angela Lindvall in Positano

I continue to be enchanted by Positano in Italy, where we will spend part of our honeymoon. This is Angela Lindvall for Zara S/S 2007. Soon it will be me!

5 Days/5 Looks: Hanneli

Have you heard of Hanneli Mustaparta? Well, she’s a gorgeous & stylish model as well as an accomplished photographer and blogger. You can find her here. Obviously with the body of a model you can pull of almost anything but I really love her quirky choices (she’s fond of DIY turbans and CVS socks).
