Karen/s Wedding Shawl

The most beautiful bridal look I've seen in forever...


My dear multi talented Randi is the designer behind this awesome wedding look. Bride Karen's shawl turns a pretty bone chilling setting for a wedding into something so cozy and beautiful. Randi doesn't stop with clothing design, she's also the mastermind/workhorse behind Ora bags out of Vancouver, Canada and has a penchant for some bomb film photography. Keep and eye out for this one kiddos...

Gypsy Wedding


A magical and dreamy backdrop for a wedding.



 I have to be honest - I didn't love the fashion styling on this shoot - beautiful for every day, not for a wedding.  But the prop styling? SO beautiful and amazing. Simple perfect.

Wedges For The Big Day///

My friend Ashley of We Are Electricity asked me what wedges I would recommend for a friend to wear at her wedding. Ash said she'll be walking over grass so she needs something that won't sink into the lawn - hence, wedges do seem like the perfect option.
The only store that came to mind because they simply carry the best stock of platform and wedge dress shoes out there is Solestruck. The coolest part is they are actually a local Portland store that happens to carry some of the freshest shoes on the market and they have a rad site.


The Sechelles Stroke of Genius is totally 60's classic bride and reminds me of the wedding scene in the movie The Graduate. But for something a little more casual and dance-the-night-away-worthy the BCBGirls Limber (almost a flat) wedge is super simple and sweet. The nude color is super in right now and I could see them almost dissappearing gracefully beneath a floor length gown.





Grey wedges would be an amazing and really hip option. Whether you are a classic girl a la Charlotte from Sex and the City and go with the peep toe Chinese Laundry or an ethereal rocker with a wild side and choose the Dolce Vita Pela (my favorite), each would be a stunning and surprising shoe.






Then there's the girl that wants to have a shoe that pops. The wedding photos will definitely focus around these puppies. What doesn't pop more than red?! Again - a classic option in the DKNY and a wild card in the Dolce Vita.

I would totally get married in any of these. Even a simple black version of these would be totally hot under a white wedding gown and Solestruck has a LOT of these styles in other rad colors as well. 

Oh weddings, so exciting.

Rockin Wedding

I'm a big fan of this fringed reception dress from a wedding spotted over on Once Wed.


There would be no option but to dance the night away.

Totally in love with this DIY napkin idea.

VW Bus Love///

This totally rad couple (who had some great wedding tents) used a revamped VW Bus for their wedding transportation. I feel like they are my soul mates over in England. 



Check out the wood paneling!

Beautiful Flora

Amazing Amazing floral arrangements...im just in awe. The color combination as well as the mixture of textures is stunning. Not only could I see these as my wedding floral arrangements but just in beautiful little vases all over my house. Anyone know what that center flower is surrounded by the lambs ear?

Help Jo choose!

So Joanna from CUP OF JO is getting married. She is down to 2 dresses and desperately trying to decide. She has even put it to a vote on her blog. But dangit the vote is even! here are the dresses Jo is trying to choose between.





If you were Jo...which would you choose? I personally love the look of the halter and can really see that on her. So simple and classic, yet is is still very modern edge to it. God Love J.Crew for coming out with a line of wedding dresses. Vote and help Jo decide by going here!!

My boyfriend is playing dress up this weekend...

Like i mentioned before, Im going to a wedding this weekend. My boyfriend is coming along for the fun wine-filled ride which Im so excited about. I mean we did meet on a dance floor and what wedding doesn't come with a dance floor.

But he's going to need to look slightly more dressed up than his usual ratty/vintage tshirt, black skinny jeans, vans and the occasional addition of a hoodie or plaid shirt. Sexy/rugged bmx rider with a mustache is totally great for daytime in portland...but what shall i put my boy in for night time on the vineyard? Thus...I have men's fashion on the brain today.

I've been fantasizing for months now about him in a j.crew-esque checkered shirt, tie and white slim slacks...even with his vans for added comfort. To be honest, images of oh so young and i feel oh so dirty, Zac Efron, got me in that train of thought. I mean my boyfriend could easily pull this off.


And I did find all of this at jcrew







here's the issue tho...all he owns is the shoes...sigh. and we being young are low on funds. He said he would buy a button up, and he does own some grey slacks...but his shoes are brown? oh what a mess. Maybe the best option would be to keep him in his black skinny jeans,his vans, a button up and a tie...a happy medium. if Only I could get him to splurge on a blazer.




the last wedding we went to was in March, and well his closet is full of sweaters...I think he was going for "Sir ian McKellen Look" but ended up in all browns and greys...he's so cute...just browns and greys? not cute.

either way, in the end, i really just want him to feel comfortable so he can shake a tail feather on the dance floor with me.
