Fab Frock Friday: Then & Now

Oscar Carvallo SS 2013

There is something about the billowing fabrics and their unexpectedly gorgeous colour combinations of these gowns which made me want to see them together. Whether new or old, beautiful designs never lose their appeal.

Study designed byThom Filicia

I've been daydreaming about the Dream House again. I'm picturing blue design elements being used throughout the house. I'm envisioning the front door being painted a beautiful blue (the same colour as the one shown above), and the study being painted a gorgeous blue hue (much like Jeanette Whitson's library painted Farrow Ball’s Hague Blue, top image, shown above)--actually, they seem to be nearly the same shade. I have always loved blues, from light to dark, cool to warm, I love them all.

Maybe the reason I'm in the mood for the colour blue today is because, two days ago, Glen and I found out that we are having a baby boy. I'm 20 weeks along, which means that I'm halfway through my pregnancy. It's so exciting to imagine our life with this new little person. As much as I'm a girly girl, and I adore all things pink and pretty and feminine, I will certainly love this boy of ours.

Wedding Wednesday: Elegant Australian Wedding

I wish I knew more about this lovely wedding in Australia. All I know is that it looks like it must have been very elegant. The bride and her gown are just so beautiful. I love how serene she looks.

Feeling peachy today, as you can see.

Wishing you a lovely weekend!

Not Too Shabby

Some shabby chic goodness for you today...

While shabby chic is not a style which I gravitate towards very often, I do always love a bit of romance. Honestly, I've never been quite sure what shabby chic is--I just think I know it when I see it. Pretty things always make me smile. I guess I don't really feel the need to know or understand the myriad style labels out there. I just know what I like. And these lovely images fit the bill.
