What kind of bride are you?  Relaxed, sleek, modern, romantic, vintagy?  I am leaning towards the modern look, but I just want to feel pretty!  Our wedding date is set for July 12, YAHOO!  But, that means it's going to be HOTT warm and I need to find something light and breathable, yet something I feel really great in.  I have a challenge ahead but I'm SO excited to find the perfect dress.

 

What kind of bride are/were you?

Happy Birthday, Dear Rachel!

Happiest of days to my beautiful and inspiring little sister, Rachel Woods Alderson. Here are some beautiful shots of my gorgeous sister who brings me joy daily. 

Happy Day, honey. Love you so very much!!

If you guys weren't at Kahwa Coffee on Saturday night for Rebekah's art show, no worries.  Her gorgeous pieces will still be up for another month for your buying pleasure!  There are even tiny prints you can take home for just $25!

 

Here are some of my favorites:

 

 

I also got some quality time with my sisters. 

What a great night!!

Spring Has Sprung!

 

Alexander Wang fitted dress, Matiko wedge heel sandals, Kate Spade metallic handbag, Jennifer Meyer Jewelry heart shaped ring, Janna Conner multi strand necklace, Tory Burch bracelet ring, C Wonder stud ring, Shu uemura, Stila, Lip stick

 

Spring is here!  We kinda skipped the whole pleasent weather thing and went straight to hot, but in any event, I am happy.  This is the perfect backyard party outfit if I do say so myself. The shoes are perfect for parties that are outside (no heels getting stuck in the deck or in the dirt).  The purse is probably the cutest thing I have ever seen.  Swipe on some light lipstick, mascara and bronzer and you're good to go!

You're My Obsession

A note to Sophia Webster:

How is it that every shoe you make is one I am immediately obsessed with?  

Literally every pair is like candy for your feet.  I would wear a pair every day if I had my way.

Love, Rachel

ROB AND I ARE ENGAGED!

I am beyond thrilled and so very happy.

He popped the question in NYC after mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral.  So amazing.

Mad Men!

Rebekah and our friend Lisa hosted a Mad Men themed party this past weekend. 

 

What a grand time it was!

 

Having never watched the show myself, it was a pleasant surprise to be greeted by fellow vintage wearing guests, complete with Mad Men on the TV in the background and a Pandora station dedicated to the show playing.

 

 

Lisa, Red, and I made our best attempt at posing like the stars themselves: 

 

I'd say we did a pretty good job!

 

Steve was a great bartender and made martini's complete with blue cheese stuffed olives.

 

 

Up next, a Bond themed party!  Who's in?!



It's Happening!

Our little trip to NYC is happening so very soon and I am SUPER PUMPED!

I have been scouring The Sartorialist and The Man Repeller for outfit inspiration, and A Cup of Jo and Love Taza for restaurant recommendations.

I definitely want to go here for a cocktail, here for a walkabout, and here to visit my most favorite painting of all time (Jackson Pollock's 1, 1950).  

What would be on your New York agenda?
