Friday Musings

1. We're ready for Halloween sweets! This skull cake tutorial is a fun and creative way to get into the Halloween spirit. Our favorite is definitely the Dia de los Muertos Skull Cake!
2. In honor of this weeks cooler weather (finally!)...

 

 

 

3. Sheer perfection

4. We love this fun phone accessory! If only Lady Mary was on the other end of the phone call.
5. Marc Jacobs nail polish. Need we say more? Gatsby would be perfect for any bride.

Have a wonderful, fall fun weekend!

Friday Musings

1. Sushi anyone? Does this not look amazing! We blame a menu meeting yesterday for our recent Sushi craze!



2. This star J.Crew headband would be the perfect addition for any flower girl.

3. The pictures, the fashion, plus a hint of pumpkin spice latte. Everything about this makes it amazing fall color inspiration.

4. Cannot even describe how obsessed we are. Neon pumpkins! Fall with a splash of neon (in case you're not entirely over summer).

5. An app to try on engagement rings? Sign us up. And not just any engagement ring, a Tiffany ring. Single, engaged, or married... doesn't matter, it's always fun to try on jewelry.

As always, we hope you all have an amazing weekend.

Friday Musings

1. How perfect is this list of good things?



2. Want to break news of your engagement in a cute, fun, and different way? We love this idea from Martha Stewart of creating your own fake newspaper! See the rest of the slideshow for other ideas on how to make your wedding unique.
 3. Newest obsession: Wantworthy. This website (and app) saves all of your favorite items in one place when you shop online. You even have the option to sort your favorite items by store and category. This has taken gift lists to a whole new level! The visual list will also make it much easier for your boyfriend/fiancé/husband to actually purchase the correct item :) 

4.  Fall decorating is upon us and my new favorite things is the Porcelain doll pumpkin. It's the perfect shade of peach for any doorstep.

5. With Paris fashion week having just ended we've got the City of Lights on our mind. And nothing beats a Parisian honeymoon in our eyes! Here's a list of 10 reasons to honeymoon in Paris

Have a fabulous weekend!

Wedding Wednesday

On this WEDnesday we wanted to share something we "like..." Grey Likes Weddings.



This blog is a social network just for brides! Use it for inspiration, guidance, or just for fun. Summer Watkins (the face behind the blog) aim's to "acknowledge that weddings are one of the few remaining reasons women circle together—a bride and her maids to reconnect, spend actual time together, and contribute to each others’ lives in a real and meaningful way."

 

They strive to go beyond just an inspiration blog and deepen connections of women everywhere! Whether you're the bride, bridesmaid, or even just a lover of weddings, they hope to create a community of  women who share their own personal experiences with one another.


Here's just a few pictures from an Ombre wedding that we absolutely love! Head over to the blog for more pictures and inspiration!

 

 

"The Ladies Society of Matrimonial Finery brings us together as we celebrate weddings. May it also be a cause for connection." - Summer Watkins



Fashion Police, Belle Style

Friday Musings

Happy Friday everyone. Today marks the first of many "Friday Musings." Starting today, the Belles will be starting a weekly Friday blog full of our current obsessions. This is what's on our mind on this rainy day!

1. Loving these Loren Hope earrings that would make the perfect bridesmaids' gifts! And as an added bonus they come in so many fun colors!

2. These chantilly lace BHLDN booties are perfect for the fall bride with a vintage flair!

3. This is a must for every bride who can't wait to show off her new monogram on her honeymoon. Perfect idea for a cute but practical carry-on.

4. Wise words from our favorite funny (smart) lady, Amy Poehler. Just because...

5. We really love the idea of wearing one color head to toe. So monochromatic chic and the perfect new trend for fall!


Have a great weekend!!
