Inspiration from Anywhere: San Juan Puerto Rico

La Concha, San Juan Puerto Rico

Next week sister and I are going on vacation.  Whoo Hoo! We are heading to the beach and I am counting down the days.  It has been a really long winter filled with snow, freezing temperatures and more snow!  So this trip couldn't have been planned for a better time! I am so excited I can't help but daydream about being on the beach, so I am pulling inspiration from our vacation.  This would be such an amazing color palette for a beach wedding, orange, coral, yellow and varying shades of blue. 
p.s. the swimsuit in the board is my new Vix purchase and the cover up a must have I got here.

Inspiration from Anywhere: New England Coastal Wedding

Created via Style Me Pretty

Yesterday was the launch of one of the most anticipated wedding lines in a long time.  The buzz had been building for over a year about Anthropologie's new bridal collection.  And it is absolutely amazing!!  So in honor of the launch of BHLDN, I thought I would create a board that was inspired by one of my favorite outfits in their collection.  The most adorable, nautical inspired dress, and fabulous tiffany blue heels.  This would be such a fun wedding to create on the shoreline here in New England.

Coffee Talk Monday.... Fine and Dandy Event with Marcey Brownstein Catering

Last week I was so delighted to attend an event that the ladies of Marcey Brownstein Catering hosted at 620 Loft & Garden.  It was such a treat to have a reason to get dressed up and head out for the night in the city.  The space was completely transformed by the uber talented Frank Alexander.  I couldn't stop staring at the wall of paper flowers he created, it was just gorgeous!  Marcey and Leslie and the rest of the crew totally out did themselves with an incredible menu of passed hors d'ouevres and cocktails that were presented in the most fantastic ways!  I especially loved the fire and ice martini (infused jalapeno vodka), mini deviled eggs and shelves of small plates.  The presentation was spectacular!
And I must mention the incredible dessert display from One Girl Cookie, the angel food cake with coconut was such a treat.  At center stage, Elan Artists- Lapis Luna and Alexis Foxe played well into the night, setting the tone for a magical evening.  It was so much fun to catch up with old friends and meet new ones in a room filled with so much talent.  These are all vendors you will want to know.

Friday Wine Tasting... Jonathan Edwards Winery 2008 Napa Valley Merlot

Wine of the Week
Jonathan Edwards 2008 Napa Valley Merlot
$25

Last Week Abby and I had the chance to visit Jonathan Edwards Winery to discuss the design for their upcoming Winemaker's Dinner, catered by the Ocean House. We were so honored to be asked to collaborate with them on this big event. And while we were there we couldn't pass through the tasting room without sampling some of their latest releases, one of which has become a new favorite, their 2008 Napa Valley Merlot. I took home a bottle and husband and I enjoyed it with our Valentines Dinner on Saturday night. This is a local wine you will definitely want to try!
