For Japan with Love

Tomorrow, TRUE Event will be taking a blogging day of silence in honor of For Japan with Love in order to help spread the word for this needed cause. It's the least we can do - please help get the word out.

Inspiration from Anywhere: St. Patty's

I am a big, BIG fan of St. Patty's day. It was a big deal growing up in my very Irish family, and I always like an excuse to throw a party. So here is a little party inspiration for you in honor of this very festive holiday. From us to you - Happy St. Patrick's Day! xoxo

Wedding Wednesday: Jonathan Edwards Winemaker's Dinner

Happy Wednesday ladies and gents! We are excited to be able to show you a little inspiration to reality today. It's one of our favorite things - being able to see what is dancing around in our heads come to fruition is why we love doing what we do. And although this wasn't necessarily a wedding, it sure does have all the makings for inspiring those of you out there wit a yellow and grey color palette wedding coming up!

Remember this little ol' board we posted awhile back? Well, with the help of the fabulous talents of Papermoss, Hana Floral Design, Anna Sawin Photography and Buzz Media Company we got the chance to bring it to life. Scroll on down and let us know what you think...

Tuesday Shoesday

Wedding season is just around the corner, literally. With our first wedding next week (so excited!), Sarah and I are in search of an array of yellow shoes for our wedding wardrobe. So when I stumbled on these beauties in Barney's, I knew they would be a contender for some of the summer weddings we have on the docket.  Super cheerful and definitely a TRUE Event must have.

Coffee Talk Monday... Shopbop Launches Bridal Boutique

Thread, Via Shopbop

Thread, via Shopbop

Those of you that know me well know that I am totally obsessed with Shopbop.  It is definitely my favorite place to shop! At least once a day if not more I go on to see what new things I want to add to my wardrobe.  So when I found out they were launching a bridal boutique I nearly jumped out of my chair.  How absolutely fabulous!  I am head over heals in love with this short Thread dress.  If I were to do it all again I would be changing into this after dinner for a night full of dancing!

Friday Wine Tasting... Schug Chardonnay

Wine of the Week
2008 Schug Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast
$24.00

This has been a favorite ever since I had a glass at Todd English's restaurant Tuscany at Mohegan Sun.  Recently the winery was running a case special and we had some shipped to our house and I was reminded just how much I love this Chardonnay.  This is one you will want to keep in the house, sometimes hard to find so when you do stock up.  Happy Friday Everyone!  Cheers.

What the Experts are saying...

This lithe Chardonnay has a wonderful hint of citrus on the nose. It is really easy to drink, beautifully crisp and refreshing in the mouth, and sleek and juicy on the finish. You just get peaches and nectarines forever. I swear I dribbled it on my chin, just like biting into the ripest, most wonderful pure essence of summer peach. A great way to keep summer flowing in your house.- Appelation America

Inspiration from Anywhere: Vail

I might be a bit late to the party on this post, but way back in February Mr. C and I decided to join some friends in Vail for a few days of fabulous skiing. It was my first time skiing in Colorado,and to say I was inspired would be a HUGE understatement. That place could not be more beautiful. We were blessed with blue bird days, so my little mind started to wander into a wedding or event inspired by that crisp blue color we were so lucky to gaze at when we fell down the back bowls... :)
