Everything from Kenzo’s Pre-Fall line should find its way to my closet. That dress in the top right, reversible! The voluminous boiled wool skirts, swoon! Florals, window checks, and chevron, yes please!
There is something about Paul Barbera’s images of studio spaces that make me want to dive head first into a creative lifestyle. Why sit in a dull carpeted office doing something you hate when you could spend your days in a beautiful space, surrounded by inspiration and do what you love?
Accessories and layers, the key to looking chic and staying warm. Proving that you don’t need to dress like Randy just because it’s cold. P.S. Viviana’s top is made of neoprene! A great fabric for keeping in the heat. Here’s a similar one at ASOS.
I hope you all enjoyed Wedding Week. It was weird look at pictures and remembering how miserably hot I was while it’s now 16 degrees outside. Stay warm this weekend!
Sight: If you are new to the bang world, this tutorial is super helpful. It’s exactly what I do to mine!
Smell: Normally mainstream perfumes smell like cleaners to me, but a sample of Miss Dior Cherie came in the other day and it was actually really pleasant.
Sound: I love the idea of putting together a birth mix. Tell Leigh what songs you would (or did) include!
Taste: Bub and I have been an extremely carb restricting diet and all it’s made me do is crave things I normally wouldn’t want. Like this cake! (found on Oh Happy Day) I wonder if I could use fruity pebbles instead of sprinkles?!
Touch: What do you think of floral pants? I’m in love.
Agustina Woodgate created these rugs out of the skins of stuffed animals. Not only are they genius and amazingly beautiful, but can you imagine how cozy laying on one of them would be!
I thought my obsession with these Isabel Marant shoes wouldn’t last long, but it’s still here and growing stronger everyday. Thankfully they continue to be sold out everywhere and well, I can’t exactly buy $700 sneakers… can I?
Wedding Week – The Reception: From what I’m told, a great time was had by all. Funny thing about your wedding, is you don’t remember much. I think that’s why a good photographer is worth every penny. Everything went by so fast, it has been nice to slowly go through and remember the little moments.
Food: Pig Roast by Albright Swine Farm, Charcuterie, Veggie & Fruit trays by the lovely Jessica French of Frenchie’s and Sidetrack, and most of all a fantastic array of rustic Italian dishes made with Michigan grown produce and locally made pasta crafted into masterpieces by the talented Julie Keller, who will soon be officially starting her catering company!
Desserts: Classic Sicilian desserts by Bommarito Bakery. Seriously, do you see those cannoli?
Drinks: Beer by Wolverine Brewing Co., Wine by Shady Lane Cellars, and Bubbly by L. Mawby – Hell yes Michigan!
Wedding Week: The Wedding Party & Us: So that last picture… best pose ever, right?
Wedding Week is overflowing into this week with the ceremony. As you may recall, I had a hard time choosing an officiant, we went with the consensus and choose our friend. It was the right decision. Our ceremony was very simple and sweet, we each picked out a reading, and the music making it all very personal.
Processional Song: Band of Horses – For Annabelle
Bride & Father of the Bride Song: Aphex Twin – Avril 14th
Recessional Song: Jackie Wilson – Higher and Higher
Wedding Week Day 5 – Getting Ready: Boys vs Girls. We drank champagne and put on make-up. They drank beer and put on suspenders.
Bride Dress & Veil: Made by my dear friend Erin Murphy, soon you will be hearing more about this talented lady…
Bride Shoes: Loeffler Randall – I was obnoxiously excited about these shoes.
Groom Suit: J. Crew
Groom Shoes: Born
Bride Hair & Make-up: Me and my girl Joni. She does one helluva winged eyeliner.
The Senses Five is a collection of things that please my eyes, smell good, tickle my taste buds, delight my ears, and feel amazing.
