Feature Friday ::Peplum and Coral::

There are only so many days left to wear the beloved linen (in New England anyway...) so I decided to feature a flashy summer color (coral... one of my faves!!), with a peplum style top that is here to stay for a while longer. Summer whites are still allowed throughout the year as far as I'm concerned so don't put them away just yet. The peplum also looks polished with a pencil skirt or cropped black pant and heels.

I will be doing a fashion feature every Friday and plan on getting some new and fabulous faces up here so be sure to check back! Waa hoooo!



 






 








 
 
sunnies, cole haan (currently loving these) :: peplum top, anthropologie :: linen trousers, j. crew (these are amazing) :: wedges, toms (SO comfy, you could walk in them all day... these would be perfect for fall) :: messenger, deux lux :: anchor necklace, poshlocket (well priced, but not the best quality I must say... just be careful with it if you want it to last!) :: pearl droplet necklace, in2design (this wrap necklace is so versatile... dress up or down. also a small business.) :: cuff, st. thomas (similar here) :: starfish ring, Tucci Design (boutique in Stonington Borough, CT. also a small business.) :: lips, mac (in vegas volt)


   
Check back next Friday for a new feature... Have an idea? Would like to be a guest contributor? Contact me! pura vida, K

Monday Makeup Madness

I recently found a new blog that I am obsessing over. BEAUTY IS BORING is a blog / photo essay by make-up artist & photographer Robin Black. He uses the face and body as a canvas more than any make up artist I have seen before. His craft is creative and out of the ordinary. Each photo is accompanied by a statement from Robin explaining the look, products used and where his inspiration came from. Check out his blog here. It makes our liquid eyeliner look like peanuts.

Nautical & Preppy


A new wedding suite design with one of my favorite combinations: anchors and pops of prep. Clean design with unique pieces to give it that extra something special including belly bands with a custom monogram and bakers twine, specialty envelope liners and a stacked enclosure card. Right now I am loving this color combo that can be fun and energetic, but still transitional into different seasons.

Take a lookie.




 



... some orange and navy loveliness...

how awesome is this girl? haha

Baby Shower Thank Yous and a Monday Clip

I recently designed custom thank you note cards as a baby shower gift. The couple is having a boy named Miles with a nursery full of nature inspired elements and color palette. I thought they were super cute so I added them to my etsy shop here! Thanks Suzanne!



...and here is just a hilarious clip for your Monday. Gotta love Jon Stewarts take on what is going on with NY's soda ban vs. the marijuana penalty reduction.

Evening Inspiration

Here are some images of the lovely Emily for an early evening shoot. We were going with a warrior vibe while enjoying the local texture and landscape of Mystic, CT. Em was a great sport giving me free reign on styling and make up. Thanks for being such a rock star, Em...how about those eyes? Amazing.

love the light.
one of my favorites.
