Outfit of the week - Navy & Tan

So since my Tuesday Shoesday posts have turned into whole outfit posts I thought it was time to change the title... and let's face it I was always pushing the boundaries of getting this up on a Tuesday (well in my time zone!). How cute is the style of this dress? And whilst I'm not usually a navy girl (she says whilst wearing a navy shirt!!) I adore it with this ivory and tan combo.

Outfit of the week

TuesdayShoesday {for the love of nautical dressing}

Eeekkk... I'm seriously LOVING this outfit!! So much so I couldn't just choose one pair of shoes... had to go for two! I'm on a bit of a nautical kick this week.. not sure why, perhaps because we've seen signs of spring around here, and I'm dying for warm summer days out on the water!! I was pretty bad last summer at getting out on the water so must make more effort this year! How cute are these little colour block shoes? And the ivory brogues with the jacket and shorts give the outfit a real Katherine Hepburn look to me. Definitely a cute wee outfit for swanning around on some fabulous luxury launch!

Board#125: Cabin in the Woods

Morning everyone! Hope you all had an enjoyable weekend? Ours was busy... full of socialising and lots of eating!! Can't complain about that. It wasn't until I finished this board and looked at it thinking... hmm, there really isn't a whole lot of wedding in this. BUT, I don't think inspiration always comes in such a literal sense. Sometimes it can be from the most random of sources, and may simply be a colour you see in a magazine, or some lace you see on tablecloth or the way something is arranged in a shop window. I can totally look at this board and imagine a cozy winter wedding with lots of candle light, warm wraps for the bridesmaids, an open fire, mulled wine... you get the picture. So don't restrict yourselves to just wedding magazines, blogs, bridal images... look all around you, you never know what may spark the look for your big day.

Board#117: Marmalade & Brogues

Ok the husband is officially ditched when it comes to naming boards/invites (after being so helpful earlier in the week!!). He told me that this board was a bit of a mish-mash and it didn't make sense!! Hmmppf!! Boys! I argued that they didn't always have to make sense, it was about putting colour schemes together that you may not instantly think of. Sometimes they have a 'theme' or 'era' to them, other times it's simply a colour story that is meant to inspire further ideas. Do I sound defensive? Fancy him second guessing my work! Honestly! This from someone who had quite the debate with me once over a top I bought that I said was orange and he swore was red... he also thinks lobsters are red rather than coral... sorry but I think they're more coral/orange than red. Anyhoo.... I think I've said enough about this board... hopefully you can see past the mish-mash :-) Gotta love him!
