I absolutely adore Amsale’s new ready-to-wear collection called “Little White Dress”. How cute are these dresses for the modern bride who doesn’t want a typical wedding gown…or even for a bride who wants to do a quick change into something fun for the reception!

Below are some of my favorite dresses from the collection. Which one do you like best?

This photo by Anna Kuperberg makes me think of the song “baby it’s cold outside”. Very appropriate for the week!

Have a wonderful holiday weekend peeps!

In the 4 years that I have lived here, this is the first winter in Orange County where I am actually cold. As much as I do love the sun in December, there is nothing like cold weather to remind you that the holidays are upon us. In honor of SoCal’s winter chill, I designed this Winter Wonderland Wedding inspiration board.

Doesn’t it make you want to curl up by the fire and drink some hot cocoa?

This image from Brian Dorsey Studios is so fun! There is something about it that reminds me of Sex and the City. Probably because of the 4 friends in the cafe…either way it’s a cool little detour for photos with the girls!
