necklines, the high & low

when choosing a wedding dress, the neckline is golden—especially now as we live in a time where we've never had so many options! that being said, we were so delighted to spot this sweet, high collar wedding gown {partlet collar; reminiscent of the elizabethan era: shot by paige winn photography} and featured {here}. a neckline so unexpected it had us swooning! lovely!

scp holiday gifts!

after a fun trip to the local farmer's market, we've completed our holiday gift sets! here we've selected hand-carved artisan bowls paired with black truffle and himalayan salts.

salt, salt & more salt

the roman soldiers were once paid in salt and that is where the term "salary" comes from. why not raise an ancient tradition and give the gift of gourmet salts! pair a uniquely packaged truffle salt with a handmade, small, wooden bowl and you have not only a green present, but a useful one as well! {salt farm sd}

happy weekend!

while hunting to find the perfect wedding gown for my future sister-in-law,  i stumbled upon this great shot. i love how the textures, patterns and colors mix all together in such an elegant way—it's modern, yet classic. i found it to be inspiring, so i leave you with this imagine for the weekend. may your weekend be full of color and surprises; and dare we say, inspire you to do something completely different! ciao!

playful colors of fall

this fall we're seeing lots of bold, citrus colors in stately places such as skinny pants paired with pumps. bow tie blouses of the 80's get a breath of fresh air and are less serious sans shoulder pads and paired with jeans and casual jackets! {j.crew}

nine cakes, how charming!

we went gaga over these adorable and sweet confections from nine cakes. paired with a vintage-inspired cake stand and a soft palette, these beauties are sure to be the wow factor of any fabulous soiree!
