Campground wedding

I couldn't get over these stunning photos of this gorgeous bride, Monique, who wed her husband, Josh, on a drizzly campground in New Hampshire this past June. Her gown is just so elegant, and I love her simple rose bouquet, beautiful loc updo, and chic cardigan.

And what a beautiful wedding party!

Monday Giveaway!

 

{Giveaway Closed}

Today, Noelia of The Modern Romance is giving one of you the chance to win this beautiful gold dandelion ring, which would be perfect to wear everyday, or just on special occasions.

Have a great weekend!

I'm finally getting a new flat iron and blowdryer this weekend! Also, I'll be getting some much needed sleep, as I've been seriously lacking this past week. What are you doing this weekend? Checking out a local clothing boutique? Buying some lavender for your nightstand? Catching some Z's? Do tell!

P.S. Three interesting things that I came across

A brilliant series of women's mugshots from 1920s Australia

Have you tried this yet?

Vintage Chanel for rent!

Abundant angles bikini

I've already gotten my swimsuit for this summer, but I think this bikini from Anthro is fantastic! 

Can you believe they're already selling swimsuits?? Have you picked one out yet?

Oragami boat candles

Al has recently become obsessed with candles. I wonder what he'd think about these floating candles designed by Slovenian artist Roman Ficak.

Have a wonderful weekend

How has your week been? Did you go on a Valentine's Day date? Mom and I are going furniture shopping  this weekend (snooze!), and then maybe we'll go clothes shopping later (yay!). What are you up to this weekend? Redesigning your bedroom? Napping? Trying out a new restaurant? Do tell!

Happy Valentine's Day

Just wanted to quickly pop on here and wish you all a lovely day! Do you have any special treats ready for your Valentine? Any special plans?

xoxo.

What would you wear on a Valentine's Day date?

You and your fellow are going out for a lovely Valentine's Day dinner at a trendy new restaurant that you've both been dying to try. You've just done your hair, and now all you have to do is get dressed. What kind of dress will you slip on?

          Above, a brightly colored, silk babydoll number.

Something strapless and sparkly for a night of dancing.

A body-hugging ombre stunner that will earn you compliments all night long.

A classic black lace dress with elegant gold side detailing to add some chic flare.

A graceful draped dress in dreamy rose chiffon.

Which dress would you pick?

Have a romantic weekend.

How was your week? I hope it was lovely! I'll be going to a school basketball game tonight, and then I might go get some dee-licious Indian food tomorrow! Do you have any fancy plans for the weekend? Going on an early Valentine's Day date? Taking your sweet pup for a walk? Planning a vacation? Do tell!

P.S. A heart scarf

Pillow talk

Recent college graduate Joanna Montgomery developed this wonderful project that physically connects long-distance love birds. Each person has a pillow for their bed and wears a sensory ring. At night, when one person goes to bed, the other's pillow gives off a soft, assuring glow to indicate their presence. You can then place your head on your pillow to hear the actual heartbeat of your sweetheart.

How brilliant is that?? It's such a sweet idea for new mothers, too.

Mary Jane heart pumps

Valentine's Day is seven days away, so I thought I'd fill the week with tons of sweet, love-inspired posts! First up is this adorable pair of Mary Jane pumps, which would be awesome to wear to work and keep you in a love-y mood all day long!

Spring wedding gowns

BHLDN has just updated their website with their collection of spring wedding dresses. Here are my three faves!

Iced Confection Gown, $1800

Parrish's Princess Gown, $1200

Lita Gown, $2400

While each gown is unique in its own special way, they all give off the same hopelessly feminine and elegant air that BHLDN has come to be known for. Which one is your favorite?

Have a fantastic weekend!

Spring break is coming up in the next few weeks or so, which means almost all of the girls at my school have started their "Spring Break diets". Bleh. While they're worrying about how they'll look in their bikinis, I'm thinking about places that I would like to go. First on my list? Italy! Sigh...

What are you doing this weekend? Going to Italy (if so, I'm mega jealous!)? Buying yourself a lovely perfume? Trying out a new recipe? Do tell!

Anthropologie February 2012 Catalogue

 I'm not sure about how I feel about this month's catalogue. Perhaps it's particularly odd-looking models, or maybe it's the styling. Nevertheless, Anthropologie still always manages to deliver, one way or another. Therefore, I have for you, once again, my favorite picks for this month!

Valentine's Day gift ideas

Valentine's Day is just under two weeks away, so here are some sweet things to give to your love!
