So Leo and I just got married, and we are off to Italy for our honeymoon! So I won’t be posting over the next 2 weeks, please check back upon our return. Shown above are the cake toppers we used. They are custom made by
Ann Wood. I love the way she patchworked the bodies with our own printed fabrics.

I never really paid much attention to Paul Smith (I thought he just did stripes, or something…) but these days people are always going on about him. So when Joy posted about the Pink line I decided to check it out. Some of the photos are super cute, although I always fall for any sort of nature-y fashion shoot.

I’ve been doing a lot of swimsuit searching lately in preparation for my honeymoon in Italy, and the twist bandeau tops are by far the cutest new swim shape. This shape is super flattering for so many body types, and it’s sure to keep away nasty tan lines. This one pictured here is
Tommy Bahama (available at
Nordstroms). I recommend sizing down so that your top doesn’t slide off.

I love the british shop Toast’s on-line store. I caught sight of it over on Lena’s blog. I love the above caftan and the below beach items, so cute!

Love in a bag. Recently while Leo and I have been planning our honeymoon to Italy, we realized we needed some ‘grown-up’ luggage. I came across this amazing Diane Von Furstenberg
suitcase the other day, and just fell in love. It would be so easy to find it twirling around the luggage carousel! Oh well, enough dreaming. We ended up getting a very sensible set of swissgear cases, which are good in their own right.

I haven’t had the time to go to the
Poiret exhibit at the Met, but I did have time to order the
book. I’m in love with everything in it! So many of the garments are so now. They feel like dresses you would find in an
Isabel Marant boutique. Here are two of my favorite pieces.

I love
Olly and Suzi’s new t-shirt collection for
Topshop. In such a pro-green fashion moment, this collaboration is wonderful (and dare I say, grossly trendy). But regardless, I love Olly and Suzi’s drawing style as well as creative concept. The two met as art students and have spent their creative careers approaching wildlife in it’s natural habitat, and together working to ‘capture their prey on paper’. Check out their book
here, Olly and Suzi: Arctic, Desert, Ocean, Jungle.

Yesterday I ran into Zoe (one of the original founders of Seamsters). Zoe always has the best outfits, and here is a shining example. I love that she’s glamorous enough to be traipsing around on a Wednesday in an
Olga Kapustina silk chiffon dress. But most importantly she’s wearing
gladiator sandals. I’ve been meaning to post about them for a while now, but I was waiting to see a real person actually pulling it off, and well here it is.

The other week my closest friends kidnapped me and took me up to Newport for a crazy bachelorette weekend. And, it reminded me that in addition to amazing stories, experiences, and so on…One of the best things about a road trip is that you listen to other people’s tapes (or these days ipods). Anyways, I’m loving these two albums. I’ve been listening to them on repeat for days now. Above is Beirut’s Gulag Orkestar and below is Andrew Bird’s Armchair Apocrypha. Both are melancholy without being depressing, a very important distinction.

While searching for the perfect summer dress, I stumbled upon these adorable nautical-inspired dresses from
JCrew. I love the way the large conversational prints are used in a new way to reinvent these classic summer dresses. I especially love the anchor shirt dress!

I have a new obsession…shiny shoes. It all started with this
pair. Leo and I argued about the impracticality for me to wear these at work (amongst the screen printing and general mess, probably not the best choice). But I’ve got to say that I totally adore the fact that they stay pretty and shiny no matter what my environment happens to be. I like them so much that yesterday I picked up the
heeled version to go with my 2nd wedding dress (it has red embroidered flowers on it so it’s the perfect opportunity to wear red shoes!

Call me crazy, but all of a sudden I’m totally into woven shirts. I’ve always held a grudge against them…growing up I had to wear collared shirts to school every day as part of our dress code. Following that as I approached college, I rebelled and cut the necks off of all of my shirts. Then landing a job designing garments, I struggled through designing woven shirts, and worst of all trying to draw a collar accurately (very challenging, try it you’ll see). And after all that, I actually bought one the other day, and I can’t seem to take it off.

These days I know way more about suits than I ever thought I would. With our wedding coming up, Leo and I have searched high and low for the perfect suit. Although we didn’t end up with a
Band of Outsiders suit, I must say they do make the most amazing pieces. Their cuts are amazingly slim and they seem to be one of the only brands that cater to young stylish men. The other thing to love about them is their website, it’s a blog. And even more love-able is the fact that they are preparing to launch a women’s wear label, ‘Boy’ which will debut at Barney’s sometime real soon.
