The 70′s at night were all about glamour, but with a heavy dose of natural beauty…
Sequins, metallics and wrap dresses? Yes, please!

Loving these simply fabulous Loeffer Randall flats. So chic and practical too boot.
For the Tea Tme Editorial, 33 Jewels kindly lent us a number of vintage costume jewelry and we just had to take a bunch of detailed styling shoots with them. Above the detail of a choker…
The incredible purple Miriam Haskell necklace…
Here it is styled with Tricia’s tray and a cigarette case I bought at a thrift store.
I loved these elegant gold and white studs… You can find similar pieces at 33 Jewels.
I’m in love with these sweet gold fish-scale pumps by Kate Spade. The pearl detail is so sweet and ladylike.

Sparkly, gold, peep toe Kate Spade shoes… WANT. Via This is Glamorous via Dustjacket (if any one knows the photographer let me know!).

Tomorrow I’m heading out to London to design and attend my little sister’s wedding. I’m SUPER excited to go antiquing & prop hunting, not to mention visiting the always inspiring Fortnum & Mason, my beloved Cambridge where I studied abroad, drinking loads of cream tea and eating bags of Walker’s salt & vinegar chips. Posting will be light while I’m away, but I will have a full re-cap of my adventures when I return. Until then, cheers mate!

What’s more fabulous than a bar cart stocked with fine liquors? A bar cart with couture shoes of course! Photo by Polly Wreford.

I thought I’d share this inspiration board I did last year because I’m still so infatuated with the color combination of aqua and gold. Isn’t is dreamy? Original post right here…

I love a pretty bouquet, especially when its light and ethereal…

I created this bouquet for a Bohemian themed photo shoot recently featured on Green Wedding Shoes.

Mixed with Bohemian green and gold jewelry and a lace dress, I would say the combo is down right pretty!

For the reception, La Tavola’s sequin New York linens added some serious glamour to the tables. The bride and groom sat at Town & Country’s fun domed Montecito love seat.

For table decor, a mix of birdcages filled with moss and candles, alternated with clusters of lanterns and tons of flowers. For the table numbers, wood plaques were painted a coppery gold and a custom decal was applied.

Tucked into the flowers little birdies perched (the bride loved birds).

Around the menu a sequin belly band added even more sparkle.

For the cake, we used the groom’s parent’s cake topped. It was such an adorable heirloom touch.

And then for the groom’s cake, his favorite guitar was recreated.
Special thanks to all the vendors who helped create this fabulous event!

Kelly Oshiro Design has a wedding this weekend, so that means it’s time for the guests to party. I think this gold prism is perfectly festive, don’t you?

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

This post is slightly off topic, but the colors and textures of these images are to amazing not to share. I found out about these color images of Russia circa 1910 via my husband. The photos were taken using a special camera with red, green, blue filters to create the stunning colors. I love this image in particular, the richness of the blue robe and the delicate floral print of iris is truly remarkable.

Likewise, this lady’s dress of deep red and blue velvet is such a classic (and royal) color scheme. I love her colorful hat too.

This is my kind of tapestry shop. The richness of the colors, red, and pinks are so sumptuous. And that pattern in the foreground is so timeless and modern it would work in most anyone’s home.

These children robes are amazing. The one on the far right with a mix of pink, purple , yellow and aqua looks like it could be a pattern from an anthropologie dress.

Now this is what I call a church. Vibrant red and white, it commands your attention and the ornate detail is as fine as a faberge egg. To see more of Russia in Color click here and here.

Today I’m so excited to share Gemvara Jewelry! I love engagement rings that use colored stones versus a regular diamond. Emeralds happen to be one of my favorite stones, how simple and classic are these rings?

Of course, there’s nothing as dramatic as a black engagement ring.

A simple set sapphire in a gold band or sapphire plus diamonds is another colorful and unique option.

Red is such a vibrant color and I think ruby is such and unexpected and fun stone for an engagement ring. I’m particularly loving the one of the left, it has almost a vintage Edwardian feel to it. You can check out more that Gemvara offers right here. Happy jewelry shopping!

I am so in love with Anthropologie’s wedding line, BHLDN (beholden). The dresses are to die for; I’m obsessed with the one on the left. Tea length, scallop hemline, illusion neckline all with a distinct art deco flair? Amazing!

I also love the sweet eyelet dress. Perfect for a beach ceremony or a bohemian wedding. Also, the three dimensional quality of the gray pleated dress is so modern and chic.

Of course, then there are the shoes. The shoes are INSANE. I’m dying for the center shoe, it might need to come home with me like, today.

The clutches are equally as stunning. The art deco inspired one on the left is perfection (can you tell I love anything art deco?).

And from subtle, and sweet, to over the top drama, the head pieces are spot on. To check out more click right here. Happy Shopping!
