New fall lovelies at jcrew

Today I discovered some new beautiful pieces at jcrew while looking for a new dress to wear to an upcoming wedding that I am a guest at.

Silk gazar Channing gown… I love the black ribbon! Although I think it could be accentuated even better with something by Emerson made.

Silk dupioni rosette gown

Gwen dress… has jcrew heeded my call for a short wedding dress? Kind of, but not really. This will have to do! I love this. It’s very winter to me with the layers of chiffon, organza and soft French tulle, and a hand-stitched collage of glass beads, sequins and feathers. But for $2,000 you’d have to bury me in it.

strapless silk taffeta Gracen dress, slub silk Betty dress, and confetti flapper dress…. I love these options for your maids!

and last but not least, my favorite accessories! Love the shoes, but love the jewels more. I don’t really like a heavy shoe with a bridal gown so there wasn’t much to choose from with fall on the horizon.

Happy shopping!

This is one of my favorite weekly posts. I love to star my favorite blog posts through out the week and share them with you all. I also really enjoy reading YOUR weekly round up posts as they always point me in the direction of very talented people!

Okay, so the photograph above? I am loving this pink and navy wedding posted on The Brides Cafe Blog…. everything… the bridesmaids dresses… the flower girls cardigans… ALL of it… I LOVE IT. So much style!

I love this Mary Norton chiffon rosette purse featured on SevenEight…. it is super dreamy.

Real Simple‘s advice to accessorize with shimmer instead of a scarf this season… love their choices. I agree, a little shimmer on the collar bone makes such a difference!

I have a love of chalkboards, and had to share 8 cool chalkboard finds on Real Simple’s blog.

Having an e-session soon? Take note of inspiring details from style me pretty!

A little floral inspiration from Sarah of Party Perfect. Just what you need on a gloomy and rainy day!

Vendor Spotlight: Adorn Bride

On Wednesday I attended The Wedding Salon in Manhattan and while there, I met the lovely ladies behind Adorn Brides. I hadn’t heard of the company before our meet and greet, but the concept behind the company has been around for awhile. Adorn Brides lends fabulous jewels to brides for their wedding day and they are the only company I know of that deals exclusively in wedding jewelry rental. Their collection is gorgeous and I got to try on one of their $20,000 vintage diamond bracelets! The representatives of Adorn also mentioned that they do buy specialty pieces for brides and are not limited to their current inventory. Isn’t that fabulous? They do carry a wide variety of styles but I love that they will purchase jewelry on a brides behalf.
