a little glitter to start your week....

Miles Aldridge forVogue Italia

It's inevitable..

along with the budding of flowers...
come bugs...

I've already seen a few of my polka dotted ladies appearing in my bathroom window...
But I dare say...
I am happy to make room for some creepy crawlies.
especially if they are glittery and golden..
if it means that my scented ladies shall appear..

Year of the Snake...

 

Horiyoshi the Third Snake Scarf at Net-A-Porter

I'm sure you've already heard...

This past Sunday marked the start of the Chinese New Year.

Last year it was the Dragon...

This year it's the

Snake...

The Black Snake to be precise...

Now, I am not a HUGE snake fan...

In fact, if I never ever see one again,

I would be more than perfectly content in my life..

 But

I am hoping this Snake will bring us lots of luck, joy, creativity, health and love this year.

Speaking of snakes...

I am entranced with these FABULOUS lovelies from

Jimmy Choo

Since when does snake print need to be too snakey?

Why not be colorful..

Why not in MY favorite colors?

Well lucky for you and

the Lovely Miss Sarah Crawford,

whose branding I have just finished...

(trust me you'll get it at the unveil)

I have found such items..

So bring it on Snake..

I'm not afraid of you!!

Oh Spring and Summer...please please hurry up....

With oranges, reds and yellows that feel like the sun on your back and taste like creamsicles. With blues and greens that cover our globe with no definition between sea and sky.

I have been waiting for you, hibernating in my sherpa lined boots and down filled jacket...

Make the sun break open this hard candy coated shell and allow me the pleasure to smell the salt from the sea..

Thursdays are for Mood Boards...Peacocks and Ostriches...Oh My!!

It is love at first sight whenever I see a Rustic Chic wedding filled to the brim with burlap, twine and kraft paper. However, there is still a sparkly princess inside of me just wanting to get out now and again.

When one of my dearest friends, Miss Regina, got married this past fall, my dreams of glitter and gold came true. Held at the fabulous NYIT de Seversky Mansion in Long Island, NY, the room was filled with feathers and sparkle as far as the eye could see..

Not only was it the one of the most decadent weddings I have ever attended, it was certainly one of the most heart felt. Being one of seven, Miss Regina definitely owned the room with a backup of family members that would put the Jackson Family to shame. The hubbie and I were beyond touched and honored to be a part of their celebration. 

So in honor of my dear friend, it was time to dig out the vintage wears...

This is one of my all-time favorite vintage dresses that I own. It is a classic wiggle dress, form fitting and covered in glittery soutache flowers. The addition of the peacock blue peep-toes and the fabulous sparkly Anthropologie necklace allowed me to get into character!

I was so inspired that I HAD to create a mood board that combined both the wedding and the attire...

So here we go...a little peacock, a little ostrich and a whole lot of sparkle!
