I took these photos before all the wedding madness ensued and finally got around to making them into an outfit post. The look is very girly grunge with my pumped up kicks and striped mini. I had been on a kick where I was wearing this beanie every chance I got. The wind in San Francisco was irritating me to the max and I just found that it made me happier to not deal! ♥

Flowers Make Me Happy

May 14th, 2013

Flowers make me happy and so would this floral skirt. The length, the shape and the romantic print are to die for.

Mrs. Twirly Skirts

May 10th, 2013

Our wedding went off without a hitch and I am officially a Mrs. (Mrs. Twirly Skirts to you)! It has been awhile since I posted last, but the madness has subsided and I can finally begin to recap all the wedding details for my lovely readers.

For starters, I will begin with my favorite element – the wedding dress of course! I knew I wanted a lace dress and I knew I wanted a mermaid silhouette. While those may seem like pretty open search fields, the options were not as endless as I had hoped, which made the search tough. I first looked up in norther Cali with my family, then by myself in LA last year. I finally made a trip up to Bridal Galleria here in San Francisco and fell in love with my Jim Hjelm dress (Jim Hjelm 8210). The low back and the deep sweet heart neck were swoon-worthy features. The champagne underlay of the dress gave it a vintage feel. I paired the dress with a stunning Lazaro belt (which was pricey, but sooo worth the splurge in the end). The belt took the dress to a new level, and made it a touch more modern, which complimented our modern yet romantic wedding. I left the other accessories to a minimum, just adding small drop earrings for jewelry. The veil was made on Etsy by Alisa Brides and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. I fell in love with a veil and she was able to recreate it for a third of the price!

The professional photos from the amazing Jeffrey Neal are yet to come, but here are some dress pics that were taken by friends and family.

Madness!

April 3rd, 2013

With all the last minute wedding plans coming together (our wedding is later this month!), as well as finally getting up to speed at my new job, my head is spinning! Hence the severe lack of posts on the blog lately… I hope to get things squared away and back to a normal schedule soon, but right now, with a million emails, calls, calendar reminders and to-do lists, it is madness!

Tan and Teal

March 26th, 2013

tan and teal1

Last weekend I went to my bestie’s baby shower and wore this tan and teal outfit. I loved that it is boho chic and very easy to wear. The color of the dress and my half turban really scream spring! I paired the look with boots because I love how comfy they are and how they gave the look a more interesting feature than a wedge would. ♥
