Thanksgiving is next week! Next. Week. ! How did that happen?
In honor of the fall season, today's Tuesday Shoesday features a lovely pair of shoes in an unmistakable fall color - orange! I think it is such a fun, kicky color!
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Orange.
Orange who?
Orange they pretty?!
Happy Tuesday!

To wrap up this week of politics and elections, I thought it would be fun to see photos of Presidents and their wives, past and present. I love looking at old wedding photos, and I'm particularly drawn to those of the WWII era - so romantic!
How inspiring is this pretty calligraphy reminder? Exercise your right today, go vote!
Happy Election Day!

I'm so excited to share this video from Amber and Andrew's Ojai Valley Inn and Spa Wedding. They were among some of the funniest, kind, and warm people I've ever worked with, and their wedding was Ah.Maze.Ing. Just watch to see for yourself!
Enjoy!

Big, Gigantic, HUGE thanks to Kim Fox Photography for the still photography, and Perfect Fit Studios for the Video. You both ROCK!
Confession: I've only watched a few episodes of "Mad Men." There. I've said it. It's on my Netflix list, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. However, I'm "mad" about the wardrobe and styling, and love seeing designers incorporate this style into their collections.
Happy Friday! Here's to getting around to a few more episodes this weekend! Enjoy!

Beautiful couple, beautiful setting, beautiful day. I'll let the amazing photos by D. Park Photography tell the story....
I have a special treat for your eyes today!
This lovely is by the oh-so-talented Oscar de la Renta. She'd be lovely with a dreamy white dress with a flouncy tulle skirt, or equally charming with a short white eyelet dress. Oh-la-la!!
Happy Tuesday!

Sunday = Funday. And then there's manic Monday. Tuesday...well, Shoes-day, of course!
For years I was all about silver...silvery jewelry, silver accessories, silver touches in my home, but I've turned a proverbial corner and now it's all about the gold. So, what better way to kick-off Tuesday Shoes-day with these golden lovelies....behold....
Wouldn't it feel decadent to float down the aisle in these beauties on your wedding day? I'd wear them with a simple chiffon halter gown and an armful of golden bangles.
Happy Shoes-day!

At last! Some of my own wedding photos (wonderfully curated by our amazing photographer, Raya Carlisle). I don't even know how many times I've watched this little slide show - the memories of what a fun day this was come flooding back each time. Enjoy!

It's not always "all work and no play" as evidenced below.....
Everyone, including me, had a great time in Vintage Vault's cool photobooth!

Where I've been this summer......
I literally swooned when I first saw Carol-Hannah's Spring 2013 collection. I loved Carol-Hannah during her run on Project Runway, and I'm still a big fan today. Just a few favorites from the collection....

this is not a sponsored post. I'm just a huge fan!
I had such a great time on Saturday at the always beautiful Sherwood Country Club working with Kristine and Ronnie. As you can see from the sneak peek photo above, Kristine was a GORGEOUS bride!
The fabulous David and Drexelle from D. Park Photography were amazing to work with. I can't wait to see more!
More photos and full vendor list coming soon!

Hi Friends! Seems like I've been away forever, but I'm back! And, I'm happy to report that it's official - we were married last week in beautiful San Francisco - so we're officially Mr. and Mrs! I'm thoroughly enjoying calling him my husband now!
Photos to come soon, but in the meantime, a sneak peek of my hair and makeup. Mei of Triple Twist Hair and Makeup in San Francisco did an amazing job. The hair was literally a last minute decision and I could not have been happier with the final result. Thank you Mei!
And, see those pins in my hair - I made those! A how-to tutorial is in the works. They were super-easy to make and I loved how they looked.
Happy Friday!

And if you want to take the look from top to tip, ombre nails! I think this would look really fun on toes too!
Thank you all for sticking with me, and check back soon for regular updates!
