They’re staring at that horizon for a reason… Thing is, I’m not a bird, so I’d be lying if I claimed to know why. What I can tell you is why I would fix my eyes on that view: To me, a sunset horizon is peaceful and soothing to the soul. Its colors are awe-inspiring; [...]

About a year ago, as we were walking the streets of lower Manhattan on our way to lunch, future hubby drew my attention to a brand new residential high-rise on our left.

Cheree Berry’s my hero (of weddings). Here’s why. As you know, I’m a big fan of the wedding wow factor – whether it be an inspirational color scheme as unique as it is stunning, details that inspire the crafty creative inside me, or invitation suites that seamlessly tie into the wedding they are so dutifully [...]
Men often say that they read risque magazines, eh-hem, “for the articles.” Well, I love Martha Stewart Weddings, and I’ll admit it’s almost entirely for the pictures. They are MESMERIZING. The golds and pinks, the reds and blues, the sparkle and shine, the glitz and, of course, the glam. I have no shame about this. [...]

Omigod, this is kind of exciting.

My Wedding: What I’ll Be Hiding Under My Dress…
I couldn’t keep it a secret any longer. I’m going to show you my wedding shoes. I’m really gonna do it. I can’t find a good enough reason to hold it back another second. But first, some background… I covet a pretty little peep toe in a rich, BOLD cherry red. It’s my thing. We [...]
Really loving on yellow, today. Can you tell? :) Below, I brought together a few different shades of yellow; sorbet, gold and buttercream (mmm… it just melts off the tongue when you say that out loud).
