Princess Brides

I’m absolutely in love with anything to do with the royal wedding (even the Lifetime movie about William & Kate), so here’s a post about some royal wedding dresses!

image

Queen Elizabeth’s wedding, 1947. I actually
really love this one. The detailing makes the dress
and veil look spectacular and delicate.

image

Grace Kelly’s wedding dress, 1956.

image

Princess Diana, 1981. How she made it anywhere without falling
from the weight of the dress is a miracle!

image

And Kate’s wedding dress, 2011. This Alexander McQueen dress by Sarah
Burton is clearly inspired by Grace Kelly’s wedding dress. I think
Kate looks gorgeous. Classy, elegant and timeless. 

And here’s some other options that designers drew up for her. I’m happy with her choice, though the dress by Amsale might have been my pick! Could you imagine having a wedding this huge and basically

every designer across the globe dreaming about you picking their dress??

Just bought my tickets to go see Phish in June with Sue! I’m looking forward to it, and I’m already planning my outfit. I’m getting some inspiration from Coachella… of course.

Do you think I could get Louis to dress like this??? Actually… I just might be able to…

It’s a sleepy day. Isn’t bed the most relaxing place in the world? Here’s some beautiful pics to inspire/dream about being in.

Well, I am currently sitting in my bathtub with my pillow and laptop due to the tornado warnings in my county. So I thought I’d post this photo that I found earlier with some Neil Young lyrics. It’s one of my absolute favorite songs of his, and therefore it is gorgeous.

some goals in life.

image

Go to Coachella. It’s been on my list for a while now and I’m yet to be
able to go.. but I will. 

image

Yes, it is actually one of my goals in life to own a pair of Birkenstocks.
I’m in love with them. Blame it on Louis.

Go to Australia. I’m just obsessed with the place. When I go, I’m
no doubt going to be stopping by the Byron Bay market to snag
some sweet stuff. (Photo from Spell & the Gypsy Collective.

See my main girl in concert.

image

Have REALLY long hair. Just for fun.

Go to Bali. I would love, love to go there for a long vacation.
Definitely a goal in life. (Photo from Oracle Fox.)

image

And last but not least, go to Yellow Springs. I’ve been told by many
that it’s my kind of place.

Water for Elephants

image

I’m so excited to see this movie. I loved the book when I read it, but I’d like to read it again one more time before I see the movie because I forget what happened. I want her hair! And wardrobe!

new loves.

As you may know, I got excessive this past weekend and bought four pairs of shoes. I’ve been receiving requests to put them up on my blog, so here they are! I’m so in love with each and every pair, I can’t wait to wear them! I got a beautiful pair of yellow cowboy-esque boots that are so, so soft inside and out. They’re my consolation prize for the beautiful white Kenny Rogers cowboy boots that are in current need of repair. I also found this gorgeous pair of navy blue velvet shoes with a green ribbon brooch detail on top. I have no idea where I’ll wear them or what with, but they’re so unique and surprisingly comfortable and I just couldn’t pass them up. And then, my sweet lovely Sam Edelmans. They’re heaven in a shoe. And last but not least, the strappy stilettos I’ve been in the market for lately!

Last but not least, my sexy Bebe platform stiletto sandals!
