Gown Friday: Marchesa Spring 2012

Ah, Marchesa can do no wrong.  And this dreamy dress above is my absolute favorite.  Gorgeous sweetheart neckline and a fabulous skirt pouf of tulle--so fun!

See you all next week!

What to wear...Bottega Veneta Resort 2012

Weightless fabrics and a fresh union of soft neutrals & saturated color blocks made me fall for the Bottega Veneta Resort 2012 collection.  These easy breezy shift dresses, and silk pants and blouses couldn't be more effortless chic.  Gorgeous.  Add this to my daydream list: check.

Inspiration: tabletop

You can't go wrong with using a rustic table for any event, casual or traditional.  Bring your chunky, worn, antiqued table outside and dress up with almost anything you've got!  This tablescape is set with green and clear found bottles with fresh white hydrangea, a simple wooden box fit with summery succulents and lovely hand painted plates.  I love the woven mats and pops of turquoise.  Paired together it makes for a wonderfully bohemian combination of organic textures and bright accents.

Bountiful Bouquet

Good morning!  I took a little impromptu hiatus from blogging last week with the help of Blogger, as I was unable to post anything for a little while but I'm back!  And I spotted this colorful, eclectic wedding shot by Hedi of Our Labor of Love the other day--such a fun, Anthropologie vibe with a tea length wedding dress, clusters of hanging origami birds and a collection of found wooden chairs that make you feel like you just stepped into a sweet family dinner.
