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…

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.

Countdown…

Hi everyone, I’ll be sporadically posting over the next couple weeks, as I’m in wedding countdown mode.

Shiny shoes…

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!

Band of Outsiders…

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.

Cutest tea towels in the world…

Normally I don’t get to crazy over housewares, but I am a tea towel junkie. I’ve got a stash of Vera towels and I’m always looking for more. That said, I’ve very picky about tea towels, but these Mozi designs are great. A friend of mine turned me on to them, and I think these designs are great. I love the unusually strong colors and the adorable packaging. To see more, click here.

Wedding shoes resolved?

Finding the right wedding dress was easy, but finding the perfect shoes to match is the tricky part. I wanted to wear heels, but I’m trying to be practical being that it’s an outdoor ceremony and reception. I’m a girl that loves heels (mostly because I have chubby ankles and heels do wonders for covering that up!)…but these flats might be the answer to me getting through the day without sinking into the lawn. And it doesn’t hurt that they are from Delia’s and are only $42, they also come in black, turq, and pale yellow.

Do we dare to think about swimsuits while there is snow on the ground…

Although I am in no shape to be strutting my stuff at the moment, I’m thinking ahead to the summertime and what swimsuits I’ll be wearing at the shore (and on my honeymoon!).
I’ve never had such a love of one pieces before, but I’m totally loving these suits. The bronze is by Old Navy, the black+white gingham is by Delia’s, the bottom left is by J.CREW and the bottom right is by Topshop. I’m really craving the gingham suit, especially with the cutaway sides.

In rummaging through my magazine tears I found these amazingly cute wedding themed wrapping papers. Leo and I found them at Rocket to Mars in Providence,RI. Rocket to Mars is my favorite place in the world for finding super kitsch household goods.

I’ve been really excited about the idea of designing the wedding invitations with my mom (who is a fabulous graphic designer). We’ve been deep in conversation about the beauty of letterpress, and I was reminded of the work of Hannah Berman. Hannah is a RISD alum who has a studio in Oakland,California. She also does custom business cards which are gorgeous. The images above are from a series of cards which are available on her site.
