Style Me Pretty (both the site and the book) have been a huge inspiration to me while starting my wedding planning. I’m constantly stumbling upon inspirational photos of dresses, flowers, tablescapes… you name it. But yesterday I stumbled upon a styled shoot that I loved every. single. photo of. It just works and you’ve got to check it out.
Happy Wedding Wednesday!
See the Style Me Pretty feature here… hurry!
Okay guys, it’s the 20th. If the world ends tomorrow I’m going to be pretty upset about not fitting that skydiving trip in. Anyway, I figured we should discuss what we should be wearing if the world does end. I’m not sure what exactly is supposed to happen, but hopefully we will know a couple of minutes in advance so I can do a quick change (because that’s what really matters, huh).

PS: If the world actually ends I’m glad no one will have access to this post of me poking fun at the world ending.
Happy Friday! As the holidays are quickly approaching I’ve been bundling up with beanies and lots of layers, taking time to actually do my hair in those oh so fantastic beachy waves, and decorating like crazy. Our apartment is full of holiday cheer but I have a few more DIYs I need to get to before Christmas comes. Hope you all have a fantastic weekend. If you’re in New York, bundle up!
Holy {insert explitive here}, have you seen this inspiration board? A part of me is oozing with jealousy and desire to make one just like it and then my OCD says “really Nicole, you want to just stick stuff on the wall like that all willy nilly?”. Whatever. I may not need this type of inspiration board, but I need some kind. That got me thinking how amazing it would be to sit down at my desk and look up to all of the things that are inspiring me at the moment. Totally interactive and interchangeable… a collection of my “must haves” of that particular day/week/month. It’s time to get crafting… here are a couple ways I’m thinking of doing it:
Sometimes I feel like my own worst enemy. You know the whole, “there’s nothing holding me back but me” kind of thing. In my case it’s so true. Remember when I told you about my goal setting? This weekend my plan is to sit down and go through the list with a fine tooth comb. What are the things that mean the most to me and what is a realistic expectation of myself? Sometimes I get these crazy ideas in my head and I write them down only to find myself dissapointed when they never come to fruition. This weekend is going to change that for good… mark my words (and this is totally not one of those crazy ideas, I swear)!
Wedding Wednesday takes on a new meaning now that I’m engaged. When I look at wedding blogs like Style Me Pretty and Grey Likes Weddings (a new favorite), I can’t help but envision what our day will look like. You can take a look at my n&a board on Pinterest to see what I’m pinning along the way but here is my first wedding inspiration board, crazy huh?
Harper’s Bazaar, I freakin’ love you. You’re extremely well curated fifty four images of couture street style are making me swoon. Don’t get me wrong, my eyes were glued to many a show coming from Milan, Sao Paulo, and Paris this season but for me street style is what I’m always waiting for. How to actually make it work in real life. Runway to sidewalk, on different body shapes (oh who am I kidding, 99% of them are models), Harper’s Bazaar documents it best.

Today is my birthday. Hard to believe another year has passed. Lots has changed… as things do in a year… and I’m excited to start my twenty four year old life. Starting by heading to the beach, then dinner with a really great friend and her (also really great) boyfriend. Possibly wearing a tulle ball gown, or not. I wish I could pull off a balloon skirt like this lovely lady. I do have the Ban.do bow headband ready to go though!
Can’t believe it’s almost July already, my birthday is on Tuesday! I love that my birthday is the 3rd of July. It means that I will always have off the day after if it falls during the week. If I was having a birthday party, this is what I would do. For some reason I’m really feeling pink today. I won’t be having one this year, but maybe next year I’ll pull out all the stops!
I realized a lot of things furniture shopping this weekend, but the one thing that stood out in my mind the most was that I love everything tufted… and I mean everything. Specifically, I find myself being drawn to tufted headboards. When I came home and took a look at my Pinterest, I noticed that there were tufted headboards all over the place. Apparently I knew I liked it long before I actually realized that I should be purchasing one ASAP. Check out my favorite headboards, they will definitely be a part of my inspiration board when I head back out again.
