Tuesday Shoesday... Yellow Flats

via Shoes.com

As much as I love heels and people that know me know that it isn't very often that I leave the house in flats, unless I am going for a run, to the beach in a pair of flip flops or at the end of a long event.  But lately I have been craving the comfort of a really adorable pair of flats that can be my go to pair.  I couldn't help but fall in love with this pair I found online.  Not only are they yellow but they have a sock liner for extra comfort and come with their very own little bag so that on a night out you could carry them with you.  These would be great at the end of your wedding night when dancing is a priority and your heels are ready to come off.  I have a feeling you can dance for hours in these.  I can think of one September bride that these are perfect for! 

Inspiration from Anywhere...Summer Showers

The heat wave that has been taking over New England broke last night with a summer shower that we were oh so thankful for.  And you know what they say: if you want a rainbow... Speaking of sprinkles, we love to see brides who make the most of their rain-blessed wedding days by pairing their gorgeous gowns with a fun pair of wellies.  Here's to summer showers!

Wedding Wednesday... A Summer Rooftop Soiree in NYC

Recently I was invited to a summer rooftop party in NYC with some of the most talented people in the industry.  It was an intimate dinner party amongst friends and colleagues hosted by Frank Alexander, one of the most inspiring, passionate designers I have ever met.  His work always pushes me to want to be better and he is the kind of person you meet once and hope that you will get the opportunity to cross paths with again.  It was such a treat to be a guest at such a special event in the city, when usually I am the one orchestrating the details, it was fun to be able to sit back and enjoy a truly memorable, absolutely perfect evening, on one of the nicest nights we have had this summer.

The table that Frank and his team created was full of color and detail and really set the tone for an incredible affair.  I would love to see this table design recreated for a rehearsal dinner, brunch or intimate dinner party.  The color palette is perfection!

 

Tuesday Shoesday...You're Golden

These darlingm sparkly gold flats caught our eye on Style Me Pretty last week.  The pop of glitz and glamour was so perfect against the bride's lace gown!

Inspiration from Anywhere...Barefoot Bride

Instead of your typical blue, beige, and white palette for a beach wedding, I love the idea of a dusty teal, rose and blush color story.  So soft and romantic against the white waves, don't you think?

Wedding Wednesday...Laura & Kevin in Madison, CT

Laura and Kevin wed at an incredible private residence in picturesque Madison, CT on the most stunning day we saw in June.  From the picture-perfect white century tent, to the gorgeous horses, and vintage touches like those antique bottle escort cards, Laura and Kevin's day was so full of rustic charm and easy elegance.  Don't you love the soft dimension in their yellow and blue color palette?  Exquisite.

Tuesday Shoesday.... Mocs and thoughts of Fall

Via Piperlime

I have always loved the comfort of mocs and have had a few pairs over the years but I am obsessed with this grey pair for fall!  They are the perfect transition shoe from sandals to suede. And I love the grey!  Not that I even want to think about fall but these are going on my must have list.
