Thank you for such a great week. It has truly been so much fun filling in while The Styled Bride was away. While I wish I could say I am off to some super chic and stylish locale I am staying put this weekend but do plan for a weekend expedition to the mall. So I say good-bye with a round-up of what I’m on the hunt for in honor of The Styled Bride’s usual Friday faves post.

The perfect striped dress

Throw on & go cotton tunic paired with cropped jeans, jewels for a little pop + stylish flats

A visit to the two lovelies I am currently lusting after. Meet lovely #1 & lovely #2

Have a good weekend!

Whether you’re a romantic, a modern day Brigitte Bardot or inspired by the ballet an upwsept ‘do can quickly have those around you being swept away.

Words seem wasted when there are dresses as glorious as these at which to gaze.

Generations of daughters have been given fashion advice from loving mothers that “less is more.” Lately it seems this saying is being taken to heart by a rising number of brides as they bare almost all in the latest bridal trend: boudoir photography sessions. While some brides may have no qualms about having their very own Victoria’s Secret moment not all brides are quite so confident taking it all off. For those of you that like the idea but have reservations about the best ways to pose to still feel slightly covered here’s some inspiration to help get you in the mood.

“I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.” – Audrey Hepburn

For a place I have never visited I couldn’t be more enamored with Paris. I often think that when the time does come to travel there I will fall so madly in love that I will not be able to leave. It has all the elements that make a city amazing: delicious food (mmm…butter), wonderful history and culture, and perhaps most importantly the most incredible fashion. Can you imagine being fortunate enough to get married there?! I die just thinking about the endless possibilities. Oh, Paris…Je T’aime.

Hi, hi, hi! I’m so excited that the talented and oh-so lovely The Styled Bride has asked me to guest blog this week while she is away bronzing herself to perfection in the Bahamas. I, like most of you, am a lover of all things fashion, but have a serious weakness when it comes to fashion photography. There is something so enchanting about how the perfect image captures this magical and elusive moment in time that takes one’s imagination on a wild ride (at least it does mine). With that in mind I thought it would be fun to dedicate this weeks posts to inspiring fashion images that allow you to escape from reality (if only for a moment). So dive right in and enjoy!
