monday's muse #6

I am thoroughly obsessed with this chandelier. It is like an epic explosion of vintage diamond broaches.

In love.

Maybe someday I will have a fabulous house and this will be in the bathroom. 

Yeah. The bathroom. Because I will have even cooler stuff in the bigger rooms ;]

What will be in your fabulous house? Dream it up this week!

monday's muse #5

Getting more creative with hair do's...

{ see tutorial here at Fashionising }

Something that I can say I really haven't seen before, and is legitimately wearable. Although I am suspicious that it may be deceptively difficult despite it's laid back appeal.

I guess I will need to give it a trial run! 

Have a beautiful week.

monday's muse #4

1950s elegance...

And most of all--red lipstick. I am currently obsessed (and found a fantastic shade and formula... more on that another day!)

I want to look this lovely every day, don't you?

Monday's muse #3

Turquoise color schemes at home...

This makes me crave spring. LOVING the graphics mixed with the fresh colors.

I especially love Tiffany blue with cranberry red. I almost went with that combo for our wedding colors. We opted for navy and yellow. I am still definitely drawn to the loveliness of the blue and red, though.

Happy Monday!

Monday's Muse #2

The first time I drove by the Monique Lhuillier store on La Cienega in West Hollywood I caused traffic to slow.

I had to brake. I had to. It so much pretty to take in all at once!

Luckily I get to drive by it every day on my way home from work :] One day I finally pulled over, parked for 45 seconds and took pictures of every window while the valet attendant silently stared. 

Whatev. I highly doubt I am the only one who has taken pictures of these beauties.

I hope you enjoy this whimsical wintery wonderland of wedding-ness as much as I do. :]

Monday's Muse #1

I can't even begin to describe how difficult it was to narrow down favorites...

Photos taken in Portland, OR by r Photography
Models: Helena Albanese (my college roommate and bridesmaid!), Nate and Selena, Nate, and Weston Borne
Helena's Oregon-designed attire... yellow dress by Sarah Seven and red dress by Margaret Kathleen (Maggie has been my friend since the 5th grade and I am so excited to see her getting her designs out there! More on her another day!)

Monday's muse... start your week off right with some style inspiration!
