What to wear…the little white dress

by PixieThisBlogger on June 4, 2011

in Weddings

I’ve mentioned it before, but white is a great trend for this summer. I found these casual, flirty white dresses on Mango this week, just perfect for any bride needing to make her mark at a bridal event wearing the traditional white. If your summer is going anything like ours here in Portland, don’t be afraid to add a cardigan or a colorful scarf to keep you warm :)

J.Crew Swim

by PixieThisBlogger on May 27, 2011

in Weddings

This weekend I am braving the yearly search for a bathing suit. I’ve been scoping out a couple of my favorites online this week and I have landed at the same place I always do: The Crew. I am so predictable when it comes to suits. Colors: blue, grey and white. Pattern: stripes, polka dots or anything that resembles them. Fit: comfortable but still fresh and young. Style: classic. How many suits do I have that already have polka dots on them? It’s not worth the embarrassment of sharing. But do I stop looking at them? Of course not. Each year they are just different enough to call my name again and again…Brides, I know you’re on the hunt too and I would steer you toward my alma mater, J. Crew. They never disappoint. Look smokin’ on your honeymoon and skip the trendy metallics and crazy sequins, or the disappearing seats of bikini bottoms. Go with fresh sophistication :)

My two favorites?  The Marina-striped ring bandeau suit and The Annik-stripe string bikini.  In LOVE.  I wish they carried more swim wear at their stores…

What to wear…Elie Tahari Resort 2012

by PixieThisBlogger on May 25, 2011

in Weddings


Elie Tahari went exotic for their 2012 Resort collection, finding inspiration in Marrakesh’s easy wear kaftans, hot desert colors and not to mention turbans. I don’t know if you’ll ever see me sporting a turban but I assure you white, white and more white is what this season is all about and I will enjoy every moment of it!

Inspiration: tabletop

by PixieThisBlogger on May 23, 2011

in Weddings

You can’t go wrong with using a rustic table for any event, casual or traditional.  Bring your chunky, worn, antiqued table outside and dress up with almost anything you’ve got!  This tablescape is set with green and clear found bottles with fresh white hydrangea, a simple wooden box fit with summery succulents and lovely hand painted plates.  I love the woven mats and pops of turquoise.  Paired together it makes for a wonderfully bohemian combination of organic textures and bright accents.
