Wedding Belles & The Stationer: New Orleans, LA

August 1, 2011

So happy Netta introduced me to Wedding Belles and The Stationera sweet bridal and stationery shop in New Orleans, LA. Its charms jump right out of the pictures!

A little about the shop: 

In 2010, after nearly a decade of having their separate shops, Amy Casbarian and Jane Bensel met through a mutual friend and decided to get hitched, so to speak, and move in together to offer a new experience for their brides. With their combined store front, their goal is to assist, encourage and ultimately inspire brides in the New Orleans area. Together, Wedding Belles and The Stationer give brides the best of both worlds – exquisite gowns and gorgeous stationery.


A reason to visit this summer:
This summer, Wedding Belles and The Stationer held a bi-weekly series called Wedding Wednesdays to help guide brides through the somewhat daunting process of planning a wedding. With events like “You Said Yes: Now What?” and “Icing on the Cake,” Wedding Belles & The Stationer host experts from around New Orleans on topics ranging from event planning to personal training to specialty cocktails. The events are all complimentary and have been a huge success – most of the brides who attend one come back for another and thoroughly enjoy learning from and meeting Amy and Jane and other brides.

If you plan on passing through NOLA, add Wedding Belles & The Stationer to your must see list!

P.S. Last day to enter the Flawed Perfection Giveaway! http://tinyurl.com/3kfepae Brand new giveaway launch tomorrow!

My best friends wedding in NYC

July 27, 2011

One of my best friends got married in NYC over memorial day weekend. My husband, baby, and I flew up to be a part of the wedding festivities. It was hands down one of the most fun weddings I have ever been to! Beautiful church and vows, incredible reception view, photo booth, killer playlist on the dance floor, mouth watering appetizers, and the best company you could ask for. Here’s a recap:
 
Even taking photos was a blast. She had an awesome photographer who wasn’t afraid to try new things on the fly and be spontaneous. For all you Callifornia based readers (he also travels!) you are in luck- he is based in the OC! His work is stunning.

Color Files: Neon Pink

July 22, 2011

Happy Weekend! Sharing today some of the neon pink faves I have found across the web! I used to NEVER wear pink, but in the last few years, certain hues have grown on me, and this is one of them:)

This is the perfect example of how to style neon pink. All good things should be in moderation! 😉
I will be back in full swing next week with tons of fun posts including a giveaway, and my FIRST EVER outfit post! GASP! 😀
Enjoy your weekend!
