Currently Obsessing...

Besides all the wedding madness, here's what's taking up precious space in my brain these days..

Can't Stop Coveting...
Ok Tracy Reese. Enough with the adorableness please. We have a honeymoon to pay for! I want everything Tracy Reese makes. EVERYTHING. So maybe I am on a shopping hiatus for a while, but I can still dream, right? Right. Besides, her Frock Line (see some of my faves from the Spring 2010 Collection below) is absolutely fabulous and more affordable than her other collections. And, Daily Candy has a deal- 25% off everything on her site. Just enter Enter code TRDC25 at checkout. WOWZA!

Oh, and while you are at it, oh Magical Shopping Fairy Godmother, I would also like these...
1. Griffin Elan Form Chilewich Case for iPhone 3GS - Gravel (here.)
2. Victoria Pumps in Blush: perfect for making my stubby legs look looooong. (here.)
3. Wicked Tickets (Geoff please?!!! wink...)
4. Incase 13" Hardshell Case for MacBook Pro (here.)
5. Faceted Mirror Side Table (here.)
6. All Seasons Shirtdress (here.)
7. Know Your Anemone Dress (here.)

Can't stop Sketching...
One of my blog-girl-crushes, Jessica of What I Wore introduced me to my next obsession. My Fashionary is my new favorite activity/relaxation tool. I forgot how much I love sketching-and this genius little tool has allowed me to combine my love of art with my love of fashion into one neat little portable notebook. I literally carry it everywhere now. It has a ton of reference material in the front as well: from online fashion resources to body measurements to standard
sizing guidelines. Check out some of Jessica's gorgeous sketches here, and you can see some of mine below. Get your own Fashionary here-its so much fun!

Hope you all are having a lovely day!

Green Wedding Shoes

Ok, I know its bad luck for the groom to see the wedding dress before the ceremony... but is it bad luck for the groom to see your wedding shoes? I say no. On that note, I just got my wedding shoes in the mail-and I am so excited! Aren't they so cute? While I tend to be a high-heel girl (the higher the better, I say) we are having an outdoor wedding and I am afraid my heels would sink into the grass. Plus, these will be so much easier to dance the night away in! And, green is my all time fave color, and I am having a green sash made for my dress as well, so the look is all coming together...I love the look of this green sash (below) with the flower at the waist-I will be sporting a similarly fabulous look at our nuptials.

While we are on the subject of Green Wedding Shoes...that also happens to be the name of a wedding blog I have become obsessed with. Visit Jen, a newly wed herself, as she explores all things matrimony-chic. Thank you for your constant stream of inspiartion Jen-I can't get enough!

Fashion Goodies: Megan Nielsen

As I was checking all my daily blog reads I clicked over to visit Jessica Schroeder at What I Wore. This is one of my fave daily fashion indulgences-everything she puts together is so dang cute! I am loving the new line by
Megan Nielsen that Jessica is blogging about today.
Jessica even did her lookbook-no wonder it is adorable. Check all her sweet pieces out right here.
Here is my fave piece from her collection: its the perfect girlie summer dress. Maybe I will win it!
Thank you for sharing Jessica and Megan!

Affordable, Beautiful Letterpress

Who doesn't love more letterpress goodness? I can't get enough! And while I have my heart set on it for our wedding invitations, it is definitely expensive! Which is why I was so pleased to receive an email about affordable letterpress from Trish Jackson of Ajalon Printing & Design. This charming family-owned shop, located in the heart of Sonoma Wine Country, has been crafting gorgeous designs for over 50 years. A green printer, they print on 100% recycled cotton paper and use soy based inks.

And they are affordable! Trish and her team are running a special:
100 letterpress invitations and enclosure cards for only $439!

Lovely designs, a talented team, eco-friendly, and a good deal?! Yes, please!
Visit Ajalon Printing & Designs to see all they have to offer and check out some of my fave designs...
Thank you Trish!

Modern, Vintage, Sweet & Fabulous

So many ways to describe the sheer gorgeousness of the vintage brooch bouquets from Fantasy Floral Designs!

Who doesn't want a bouquet that'll last forever?
