Hot or Not
It’s that time again. Scratching the itch of my inner snark is total catharsis.
What’s hot:
Timeless bouquets with effortless gradation and subtle color . . . from one of our weddings, shot by Gayle Brooker Photography.
What’s not:
Polka dot bouquets that scream more FTD than elegant. No seamless transition from fleur to fleur- how about a little gentle contrast here, people?
What’s hot:
Registering for gorgeous tabletop wares at Gump’s San Francisco, for one.
What’s not:
Displaying a homemade shrine to improving your bottom line. Gift-card-box-slash-eventual-bird-feeder = gawdy. Be-tapestried tasseled life-sized kleenex dispenser is not working, either.
What’s hot:
A dear little homemade wedding cake. Perfect for a modest budget.
What’s not:
Cupcakes-a-plenty, replete with metaphorical figurines depicting proverbial ball and chain marriage. Eww and yawn. Cupcakes alone, done well, were cute when they were cute, for a millisecond.
What’s hot:
Ivanka Trump’s shoulder-covering Vera Wang is always in style, and absolutely elegant to its core.
What’s not:
A tatt in church. I’m in full cringe mode. Get thee some Dermablend, at least for the day.
Labor Day Bliss
Hoping you make the time to chill today.
We’re in the mountains with our noses in books, occasionally breaking to play Bananagrams.
I’m sitting here . . .
chatting with this boy . . .
and snuggling up on this boy . . .
Happy Labor Day!
Terrain + Me = TLA
Don’t tell me you’re too cool for TLA . . . one of many eighties doodles (true love always!).
While stomping around NYC with some lovely gals from DC (RitzyBee’s Maria Cooke + Kelly Seizert) and Philly (StyledCreative’s Beka Rendell + Kimberly Fink), the topic of Terrain and all its fabulosity came up.
The latest of my cravings is, as always, a leetle scatterbrained and a lot luxe. With the advent of Fall and all its crispness, both my wardrobe and my home need some tweaking. Ok, major tweaking.
Check out these lovely things for the home front, all from Terrain:
Faux bois trivet- so hard to find an attractive trivet for the Thanksgiving feast!
Green is my passion, so i love this green garden pushcart . . . could double as an outdoor bar cart or buffet piece? Yesssss.
We’re at the front end of a home renovation, so i’m always on the lookout for a gorgeous antique to serve as an island. This iron and wood butcher block number will do.
Scallops will always have a friend in me. Love this scallop edged rolling end table . . . perfect for resting cocktails between club chairs.
Ok Madame Rendell, you’re right . . . I have to visit and hit up Terrain.
What are you craving lately?
