PANTONE Spring 2013: How To Wear

Well, the outfits are IN! We love the new colors PANTONE has released for Spring 2013, so we put together a few monochromatic looks surrounding the hues. Enjoy!

Styled Event: Sparkle!

Lovely: A Style Blog Wedding Stylist Kristi was on hand to design a mini wedding design for local Austin wedding planning giant, Leave The Details To Me, Event and Wedding Consulting. Below are some photos of the stunning work. Sequins, glitter, and everything glam were the talk of the show! Hope you enjoy!

The key to using sequins or glitter en masse is to keep everything else clean and simple, and to let the focal point shimmer and shine as it was intended to do! Floral designs were provided by Flora Fetish, and rentals were provided by Premiere Party Central.

Seersucker Love

Seersucker is the perfect casual fabric. Nothing says fun, preppy or classic summer than this striped wonder! Think how sweet and fun this wedding would be...possibly play yard games like horseshoes or croquet, throw a mid-afternoon reception with heavy appetizers and light drinks. Tom Collins would be a perfect signature drink, as would freshly squeezed lemonade, and maybe even a flavored iced tea bar where people could mix squeezed juices and teas and adorn them with sugared fruit slices in lime or orange! Freeze raspberries into ice cubes and cool down the day. This would be a wedding to remember!

Modern Day Kitchen

Even though I tend to go for traditional styles in my own home decor, I cant help but love a good modern piece which made this week's blog especially fun! Check out this modern kitchen board we created with a mustard yellow base and bold pops of blue as accents. POC (pop of color) is the phrase of the year for 2012 I think! I also love the use of stainless in elements like the kitchen table and the chandelier keeping it tied in with the counter tops but maintaining a sense of individuality. No matchy matchy for this kitchen!

One thing I want to point out about this kitchen is that the accessories totally make the space! I am definitely an accessory girl and they are not just for ears and wrists anymore people! From the yellow elephant pillow to that adorable Georgia print, accessories are the perfect way to bring your personality and some color into any room! Don't be afraid to be a little daring in your rooms and you'll love them even more.

American Girl

Patriotic Wedding

Nothing says America like the good old red, white, and blue. And you can TOTALLY have them be your wedding colors, too! Who says they can't be tailored and elegant? And P.S....can you think of a better celebration than a wedding, AND the birth of this great nation? We think not!
