Love and Happily Ever After

 Congratulations to my dear friends Carey and Craig Applegate on their marriage and beautiful wedding. This special event was one of the first weddings to be hosted at the Flower Fields in Carlsbad, CA and I'm sure it set the bar. This was truly a DYI wedding that was executed so perfectly the bride had everyone telling her to go into Wedding and Event Planning. The bride wore a sweetheart neck, strapless dress with a mermaid train. Her bridesmaids wore cream and mustard yellow sweetheart neckline dresses too with tan ankle boots while the Groomsmen wore flannel plaid collared shirts, dark denim, and black canvas kicks. Oh and I can't forget the butterflies! A little drowsy, they took a few minutes to wake up when it was time for their release. This comedic event couldn't have been more perfect in making the day that much more memorable. Paired with some of the most adorable flower girls, ringer bearers, and of course a loving husband, family and friends this wedding was the beginning to two soul mates' happily ever after.

Indian Summer

I just love Anthropologie's new interactive media site with the petals falling behind the model and the swaying of branches. It makes me even more excited to say goodbye to fall weather and hello to spring.

PALM SPRINGS

 Sorry I have been a bit MIA on new posts! Its been a bit crazy. Last weekend I was in Palm Springs for a friends Bachelorette party. I love that all of the Bride to be's friends have unique taste and style. We stayed a a cute 70's style resort called the Riviera which had great color, geometric art, and modern furniture. I loved the bright orange chairs and colorful upholstery and mirrored walls through out the hotel.  Here are a few of my fave looks from patterns, prints and textures. I definitely love the indie, vintage jewelry on some of these girls.

On the Streets of Danville, CA

As seen in recent postings, the work boot has inspired an upcoming Spring fashion trend. While cruising the Farmer's Market I spotted a gentleman wearing classic work boots, wool flannel shirt, and Pendleton cap to keep his head warm and dry. Doubtful that he follows the Satorialist; but if he did, I would say he was right on trend.

Dress Code

We have seen the work boot coming back with a refreshed urban street vibe. Its all about the lace up shoes and boots. I've taken notice a throwback to old Hollywood and classics like oxford saddle shoes. Urban Outfitters has updated their style of saddle shoes from my days of Carden Hall and private school uniforms. Despite Spring around the corner, its not quite time to put away your boots!
