Whimsical French Chic Shoot

November 9th, 2010

I’m loving this spring time Martha Stewart shoot. The french chic look and color palette is so gorgeous. Oh and guess what, the wedding dress that I purchased actually makes a guest appearance in the shoot. Talk about awesome.

Vintage Accessories

July 7th, 2010

The bride has to be on top of her game when it comes to picking out the right accessories for the big day. Having a look that expresses your personality and makes you feel comfortable will make your wedding day that much easier and will allow you to look back on a look and a style that you loved.

Today I’m here to fill the heart of the vintage-bride with joy with all these amazingly gorgeous vintage accessories.

This is such a phenominal garter belt. I love the use of the lace, the layers and the brooch. It’s so vintage and so romantic.

Who doesn’t want their necklace to match their garter belt?? This necklace is just phenomenal. I really can’t get over statement necklaces, and this one is going down in my book of amazing ones!

Every bride needs a good sash and this one is perfect.

Get this Look: Fabrics and Flowers

June 5th, 2010

This is such a gorgeous dress! I was drawn to the simple silhouette and flowing fabric. This is such a perfect dress for an spring or summer wedding.  Instead of just showing off this incredible dress and leaving you to tread the waters alone to find everything needed to complete this look, I have decided to just complete it for you!

Since the dress is minimalistic I think the best idea is to spruce it up with some statement accessories. I love the blush, gold and ivory tones, and we all know that fabric flowers are so incredibly in right now (and hopefully this is one trend that will stick for a very long time to come!). More is not always better, so each piece has only a subtle “statement” which all comes together as a complete look.

This flower clutch is so chic and modern. It’s so out there and unusual but due to the ivory color, it won’t suck all the attention from the beautiful bride. And any girl knows that going anywhere without a clutch is not only fairly impossible, but definitely not as fun. Now, add a statement bracelet like this to your wrist and you’ve got your hands full!

What you do with your neck and chest is a pretty important part of completing your wedding look. You could do a simple single pendant silver necklace and create a really simple look, but for fear of not going out there enough, I figured a statement necklace to really bring home the complete look and an all-eyes-on-you awe, would be your best bet!

Since we went pretty far out there with the accessories, I figured some nude shoes would tie it all together. These cute little Betsey Johnson’s won’t over do your look, but with the flowers at the toes, it will tie your look together from head to toe!

Playing with accessories to complete your look is often times better than buying a “statement” dress and not worrying about your look any further. Accessorizing definitely a fun task, but remember that there is a limit to accessorizing! Take it only so far, but don’t flood your overall look with gobs of accessories all over! Keep it classy yet fun!
