"November 2009"

I hope everyone had a great weekend and is gearing up for one of my favorite holidays EVER! I thought we could start the week with a little pre-holiday indulgence...shoes! Carrie has put together an incredible pick list of shoes that will totally make you swoon and if you're anything like me, will get you SUPER excited about your wedding day fashions. So! Rather than just blab on and on, I am going to let Carrie take the stage and share all of her shoe goodness with you!

This wedding is SO Style Me Pretty. It's simple, subtle, totally elegant. The color palette is soft and muted, the flowers are off the charts gorgeous and the bride and groom, well...probably should be models. Sandra Pan snapped the lovely photographs and you can tell that she put her heart and soul into each image. It's pretty obvious that she fell madly in love with this couple and wanted to really show the pure joy behind the day.

Today is a day of Napa inspired goodness.

The Napa Valley vibe is all about effortless elegance. Creating a warm and totally personal environment.
