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!

60s Inspired Bangs

After an inner conversation with myself, I decided a hair chop is not something I am ready to do. Ro concurs. So I’ve become enthralled with the idea of cutting 60s-inspired bangs like Julia Stegner’s post wedding. Like?

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!

Ladies Lunching

I adore these sugary-sweet images of pretty girls in hats and gloves eating confections. What’s more fun?

Red + White

I adore this combo (red & white). There are so many ways to pull it off and I am constantly drawn to the colors together.

Shall we dine?

 

Mealtimes are my favorite times. It’s not just about eating – it’s mostly about conversation and wine and the art of a beautiful table – but it is also about eating… One of the things I aspire to create for my home is a welcoming/chic eating area.

Lots O Lashes!

I am obsessed with the lashes in this editorial. Look here for lots of DIY options from Sephora.

Happy July!

I hope you enjoy every second of your holiday weekend. It’s always good to remember the freedoms and privileges we are afforded because we live in America – even with it’s faults. I begin to feel that summer is in full force when the 4th comes around, and I never fail to wonder where June has gone.

Obsessed with this

A friend from work pointed this out to me. Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co. designed “the bottle” which is inspired by Italian women who accessorize with fresh flowers. How chic is that?
