… or alternately, Adventures in Wedding Planning. Be forewarned – this post is a wry glimpse inside my personal life, not a fluff piece on fashion, and is much longer than my usual posts. It also – gasp! – doesn’t have any pretty pictures to go along with it. So consider yourself warned, and read [...]

Stylish Lela Rose Bridesmaid Dresses
After assisting my good friend with her bridesmaid dress search, I was again reminded how difficult it is to find cute, stylish bridesmaid dresses. Even harder is locating cute bridesmaid dresses that flatter a wide range of body types.
Although I found my bridesmaid’s stylish dresses at the lovely Bella Bridesmaid (whose founder I had the [...]

Hawt. And Hawter.
So, I may have an obsession for high heeled peep-toe pumps with an embellishment on the toe. But even if I didn’t I would still go gaga over the Kate Spade Clarice. The curve of the side, the extra flare up the back of the ankle, the inset heel, and, of course, the architectural satin [...]

Vineyard Wedding Board
One of my closest childhood friends is getting married in August, and I have the privilege and joy of helping her plan her wedding (squeal!). For someone who still trolls the wedding blogosphere, this has been a dream come true.

I stumbled across the cutest, totally fabulous and most unnecessary way to dress up your cupcakes: Cupcake Wrapture. I was searching for cupcake ideas while writing an article about 1st Birthday Cupcakes, and fell in l-o-v-e with the adorable little designs that you can buy to dress up your cupcakes.

Wedding Reception Details: Furniture
One of my favorite wedding reception details was the rented furniture seating and lounge areas. I went back and forth for a while over whether I should spring for this extra expense in our wedding budget, but in the end it was one of the best decisions I made, and I’d do it again in [...]

The Wedding March
As the weeks fly by and the wedding draws ever closer, something odd has happened. At nine months out, I was a super planner and a nervous wreck – it seemed like there just wasn’t enough time in the day to get the wedding planned. Witness, to your left: my carefully crafted wedding inspiration board.

Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend
Diamonds; sparkling, beautiful diamonds. I never spent much time thinking about diamonds before my own engagement, but now I’ve become a woman obsessed. One look at my engagement ring was all it took for the love affair to begin. I had never owned a beautiful diamond like that before, and once it was on my [...]

Obsessed: Stylish Bridesmaid Shoes
So, last I wrote about my wedding planning I posted a bunch of fab bridesmaid dresses and asked your opinion. Like me, most of you loved Priscilla of Boston’s strapless a-line, knee-length dress in black. My Maid of Honor and I went to a local bridesmaid dress store (thank you Bella Bridesmaid!), tried it on [...]

Bridesmaid Dress Options….
For a girl who worships cut, fit and style, perhaps nothing is more frightening than the ill-tailored, putridly-colored bridesmaid dress. Consequently, I cringe when I think of a traditional bridesmaid dress. In fact, the ugly bridesmaid dress is so ubiquitous in American wedding culture that there’s a movie dedicated to their fuglicious splendor (27 Dresses). [...]
