Snowflakes... Icicles... Winter Wedding Wonderland... Oh My

We have some winter weddings sneaking up on us... and as I was doing some research, I stumbled upon these amazing inspirations that I thought I would share. I must say, I am so fortunate to be able to live through my Clients and help each and every one of them fulfill their Wedding Dreams.  If I was to get married again... I think I would do a winter wedding FOR SURE!

Totally in LOVE with Art Deco

Its Sunday morning and I was checking out some of my fav sites... These styles are amazing in every sense, timeless actually.  The Art Deco era was FANTABULOUS. It has geo shapes, sparkle, luxurious colour {who doesn't love the combo of Black, Gold, Silver with pops of hot colour} It is the picture of elegance,in my opinion anyway. Enjoy the looks!

Stripes on Stripes on Stripes

Horizontal, vertical, thin, thick, coloured, monochromatic!!
I { HEART } all types of stripes.  Although we have been told not to wear stripes with other stripes, because it is too busy.  Seeing as fashion rules exist no longer, stripes on stripes is a tres fab trend. 

The last photo is most { Fantabulous } with a staple Balenciaga Mortorcycle Bag! I'll take mine in orange please xoxo

DYI Ornament

Looking for a last minute gift?? Here is an easy DIY Ornament that you can put together within minutes.  Start by getting a clear plastic ball (I found them at Michaels and they are on sale!!).

Now it is time to find the accessories. I like peacock feathers, and you can attach them to the gold bauble a top of the ornament with a glue gun.  Gently put the bauble back on by carefully slipping the feather into the ornament.  Adorn the ornament with a beautiful satin ribbon to hang from the tree.

I also have a love affair with { glitter } .... If you are on a budget, head over to your nearest "dollarstore" for tubes of glitter (and if you have cents to share, then check out Martha Stewart's glitter collection which comes in a bajillion different colours).  Fill the ornament with the glitter about 1/4 full.  Find a jewel, and similar to the peacock feather, attach the jewel to the bauble.  Keep in mind....it needs to fit into the ornament.  Shake the ornament up to get the glitter moving around, and voila! {something beautiful}

Go on....get creative!

A Very Merry Gift Wrap

Once a planner, always a planner.....and that doesn`t exclude the Holidays.  Not only do I have all my shopping done, but it is wrapped.  I Used a beautiful blue and white polka dot wrapping paper (from Superstore), and I always wrap presents in boxes.  It always makes it look cleaner (stay tuned for a blog on wrapping the perfect gift).  I love to use satin ribbons, but I have a preference for a wired ribbon.  It helps the ribbon have volume when you place it in a bow.  I also included small silver Christmas ornaments in silver & glitter. I found a cute small package again at Superstore... yeah  { SUPERSTORE }

Add a vintage christmas tag to top off your modern chic gift wrapping, and voila...it's time for giving.
                         
                         Thats a << wrap >> for me. Enjoy!

I Heart Baby

A friend of mine is having a baby in January (I can`t wait for the bouncing baby boy!!).  Not being the one to give just any ordinary wrapped gift, I wrapped the gift in silk and organza ribbon.  I got a beautiful and cuddly baby blanket, with a matching reindeer touque (both from Chapters).  Babies are { FUN }

Love & Style,
