Wedding season is upon us and if you have as many invitations as I do this summer, you’re also thinking, “What am I going to wear to all of these events without breaking the bank?” The beauty about summer is that you can get away with lighter fabrics and generally less expensive pieces as events…

Haute Halter: Caramel Open-Back Halter Dress, Oversized Tassel Earrings, Spiked Christian Louboutin Suede Pumps and Black Faux-Croc Clutch
Wedding season is in full swing and I just can’t get enough of going to lavish soirées, dancing, seeing my closest friends and family, and celebrating love, all while dressed to the nines. But, as fun as wedding season can be, it can also be a bit pricey (gifts, outfits, lodging, etc. etc.), especially if you know you’ll be seeing the…

Anniversary Romance: Open Back Lace Dress, Glittery Jimmy Choo Criss-Cross Sandals, Gucci Mini Chain Bag and Vintage Chanel Earrings
It’s wedding season! Just a year ago, I, like most brides-to-be, waited until the very last minute to find “bridey” (you know, “bridal inspired”) dresses for my various wedding-related events (i.e. engagement party, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, engagement shoot, etc. etc. etc.) and struggled to find outfits that were special enough for the occasions. So,…
Lewiston New York Wedding
This past weekend, I had the honor of not only being a guest at VM and PJM’s nuptials in beautiful Lewiston, New York, but was asked to do the bride and bridal party’s makeup. When I look back on my own wedding day, the “getting ready process,” was one of the most special parts of the day…
Happy Anniversary
I can’t believe it’s already been one year. It feels like only yesterday that I was badgering you about wedding colors (terribly unsuccessfully) and music and bridal party pair-ups and everything else. But, as I look back nostalgically on that day and the special time before our wedding, I can’t help but smile and feel that everything was just…
MY Wedding Registry Guide
So you’re ENGAGED! Now, REGISTER! Just this morning, my lovely VUL, who is recently engaged, asked “how did you decide where to register?” and I was reminded of how daunting the process felt. When Bugsy and I got engaged almost two summers ago, I spent the first few months of our engagement frozen in indecision about…
Destination: Tulum
Exactly two Cinco de Mayo’s ago, we were celebrating HT and AB’s nuptials in paradise. Not only were we super excited to witness the first “Scholars” wedding (HT, MW, VUL and I were Presidential Honors Scholars at NYU), but the couple could not have chosen a more magical place for the festivities – TULUM, Mexico. Although it’s become a popular destination for industry…
Saturday Makeup Session
This weekend, my dear VM came by for a makeup trial for her upcoming wedding this August in upstate New York. Not only am I over the moon about her recent engagement to the love of her life, but she’s asked me to do her makeup for the wedding. I could not be more honored….
MY Makeup
For as long as I can remember and certainly since High School, friends would ask me to do their makeup for events – prom, Sweet 16’s, birthdays, weddings, etc. I can recall the days when my best girl friends would come over 3 hours early and line up outside the bathroom to get their faces done…
COLOR INSPIRATION – Black and Gold
While planning my wedding last year, I began to notice that my decor palette was becoming all too neutral (how exciting can shades of white really be?) and begging for some jazz. So, I decided to take a walk through our gorgeous wedding venue, The New York Palace, for some color inspiration and immediately spotted this gorgeousness – a glimmering…
