Wedding Wednesday: Enchanting Evening

What a better way to celebrate New Years Eve then with an enchanting wedding reception! This wedding of a family friend leaves me speechless everytime I look at pictures - it is so personalized and truly special. The evening was executed perfectly with a sophisticated and soft color palette and a signiture monogram used throughout the wedding tent. What makes it even more special is that the darling bride and her mother did most of the decor all themseleves! Cheers to the gorgeous couple!

Lazy Day ...

I had a very difficult time getting up and going to work this morning after a relaxing long weekend. I wish I could spend the day sipping coffee and relaxing with my loved one. Hope you are all recovering from the weekend!

Stars and Stripes ...

I absolutely love the 4th of July with all the beach barbeques & bateau stripes. How adorable is it to use a pop of red lipstick against a navy and white outfit? Looking forward to seeing everyone in their stars & stripes... Have a fabulous long weekend darlings!

American in Paris ...

Here is a sneak peak at our good friend Ralph Lauren's gorgeous new flagship store and restaurant in Paris. The decor is the perfect infusion of preppy meets parisan chic. Not to mention "Ralphs" serves the best burgers and fries in all of France... all of this combined sounds like the perfect meal to me!  Cannot wait to go to Paris to check it out.

Hot Haute Couture ...

Ten Magazine is taking Summer Couture to the streets of Paris in their latest issue. I must say these gorgeous designs from Givency, Valentino, Ellie Saab, and Dior are some "hot" haute couture.

Polka Dot Party ...

How lovely is this polka dot party? The idea is so fresh and fun. Truly a modern way to decorate a vintage room for the night! I agree looks a little crazy - kind of like how I feel right now running around for work!

Stellar Stella ...

Last week Stella McCartney presented her gorgeous Resort line for 2011. The stunning use of cobalt blue in these photos truly caught my eye. However, the rest of the collection was also gorgeous with her use of bold prints and texture. Oh, Stella ... you truly are always Stellar.

Captivating Capri ...

Happy Friday Darlings! Lately, I've been dreaming of traveling to a lovely beach location like Capri. It reminded me of this gorgeous editorial capturing Daria Werbow in Capri from Vogue UK (2004).

Where do you want to travel to this weekend?

Vintage Carrie Couture ...

So, I finally saw Sex and the City 2 this week - and I must admit that I missed the vintage Carrie I once knew. The movie was still a joy to watch, but my heart was not as in it as the first one. Thus, today I decided to break out some old photographs of Carrie in Couture circa Vogue 2008 - truly one of my favorite editorials Annie Lebowitz has done.
