FASHION for your HEALTH | your happiness and your look | Not Enough Sun in Your Life?  Try Wearing it.

Holy Westchester Wedding, Batman!  This One Took Place Right Near Where I Grew Up!!!

Somehow, this is really, really exciting to me.  The weddings featured on Style Me Pretty almost always make me swoon, but I think it’s the fact that I’ve totally been to the Larchmont Yacht Club (I say with an upturned nose and jutting chin), and the place looks quite unbelievably exquisite in these photographs.  I [...]
