As I can't afford a Celine, nor anything near that price range, I have been on a quest to find a satchel that is not only beautiful and well-made, but also budget friendly. I've considered Kate Spade, Tory Burch,  and J.Crew. However, this one by Michael Kors definitely fits the bill! Made of saffiano leather, it won't show marks or get scuffed up quite so easily. I haven't pulled the trigger yet, just looking around really. But isn't she lovely?

Blazer - H&M (recent)
Blouse - F21
Jeans - Loft
Pumps - Zara

 
This is another H&M find from my latest Spring shopping trip.  H&M is often hit or miss for me, but their new styles have been well done and the two blazers I've purchased are already on heavy rotation. The sleeves fit well, and I love the little peplum hem. I like wearing my blazers open, although this looks really cute buttoned because the peplum is accentuated. I'm enjoying the last of my "Winter" wardrobe  by pairing darker colors together, but I'm really looking forward to Spring's color palette.

I think a wedding post/update once or twice per month is appropriate for my little blog, no? Sure, why not :)
My best friend and I were just talking about how consuming wedding planning can be. I promised myself when I first started this process that I wouldn't become "one of THOSE brides". You know, the ones you see on t.v. that make you question why people really want to get married in the first place! Those kind. Well I don't think I'm anywhere near becoming a bridezilla, but I am thinking about the wedding all the time now.
We have most of our planning done, and that's a huge relief! My favorite part thus far? Definitely the little details. I love details. I love accessories. Jewelry and handbags are my favorite part of getting dressed, so it's hilarious to me that I am treating my wedding planning in the same manner.

These are just some inspiration pictures, mostly from every bride's guidebook - Pinterest.

My veil is quite a bit shorter (elbow length). But this one is a stunner.

I love the elegance of the bow in the back



Pretty yet simple centerpieces


The perfect all ivory bouquet





Pretty idea for seating guests
