{Friday Faves} Techno Style

Friday, January 7th, 2011 by admin

It seems like everyone who did not have an Ipad before, got one over the holidays. They are pretty, and fun to play with, but I am solely a Mac Book girl through and through, not to mention there is no room to put anything else on my nightstand. I have to say, it would come in handy for all those wedding planning meetings. For all you that did get one and have been looking for a fashionable case, here are some of my favorites.

{Friday Faves} The Etsy Taste Test

Friday, December 24th, 2010 by admin

I don’t know about you, but I find Etsy can be wholly overwhelming. Love the site, but sometimes I just want to look at things that appeal to me without having to scroll through page after page. Well, maybe the lovely people at Etsy were feeling the same way because they recently launched their “taste test.” It’s a quick quiz like process (it’s all pictures) that creates pages of products based on the things you like. The first question looks like this, but if you don’t see anything that appeals to you, you can refresh the options and try again. It’s a lovely thing, and a great way to start dropping those Valentine Day hints. Yea I said it, Christmas is almost so done for the year. Enjoy the holiday!

Wearable Food

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010 by admin

They say you are what you eat, and during the holidays that can get real ugly real quick. A Korean artist has made wearing what you could be eating very stylish. For more insight into the artist and her project, click here.

{Friday Faves} My Favorite Cookies…To Gift

Friday, December 10th, 2010 by admin

If you are struggling to find a good gift for say, a hostess, fashionable girlfriend, in-laws, shower host, the list cam go on and on, check out Elenis. I happened to highlight some of their “fashion” cookies below, but they also have the most adorable holiday, wedding, and specialty designs for someone like the pet lover, or sports enthusiast in your life. The packaging is just about as cute as the cookies, and yes, they do taste as good as they look.

{Friday Faves} Tutus & Tulle

Friday, December 3rd, 2010 by admin

I’ve got my baby girl on the brain. This is a good thing considering we are 9 weeks from d-day and have not ordered any nursery furniture. I was looking around my favorite kiddie sites and came across these adorable tutus, perfect for dressing up (or little flower girls). I can see it now, any given day, or Halloween 2011 perhaps. At least that is one thing we can plan in advance…

Wedding Inspiration Board of the Week – Red & White

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010 by admin

I love this time of year because the special edition candy cane ice cream is finally back in stores. I’m not a huge fan of peppermint in general, but put it in a vat of wholesome ice cream goodness and I am all about it. So, in the holiday spirit, this week’s inspiration board was inspired by the red and white stripe treat we all know, and love (at least in some form or another).

A Gift for the Fashionista Girl

Monday, November 29th, 2010 by admin

Coffee table books make great gifts for those really hard to shop for people. The best part is they are generally under $100 and easy to find. Here is the perfect example, consider giving your favorite fashionista friend or relative Masters of Fashion Illustration by David Downton. Theses are just a sampling of his sketches, plus, with today being Cyber Monday and all, you are sure to find a deal.

Holiday Windows City Style

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010 by admin

I spent the better part of last week traipsing around Manhattan, and enjoying every minute. I especially love being in the city (where I met my husband) during this time of year with most of the holiday decorations up. I missed the unveiling of the famed Saks holiday windows, but here are some that I did get to see.

Barney’s wants us to have a foodie holiday season. The scene and dress in the second picture is made entirely of coffee cans.

Bendel’s Nutcracker inspired windows are sure to leave little girls asking for ballet lessons.
