Happy Weekend + More Pom Pom Love

I can't believe it is the weekend already. Sadly, thanks to a winter storm, I may be stuck inside all weekend, but hopefully will have power! On another note, I saw this adorable picture of Scarlett Johansson wearing this fluffy pom pom heart tee and instantly thought "this would be a great DIY" Unfortunately, aside from 7th grade home-ec, I have zero sewing experience and couldn't quite figure out how to sew a pom pom securely onto a tee shirt. Does anyone have any suggestions? Someone needs to make a tutorial for this!

Lately I have been inspired by sexy, piled-on-top of head buns Hot, right? Probably only appropriate for fashion shoots, but maybe not........

It feels like Fall

The temperatures are dropping and soon the leaves will be changing colors......It feels like fall in my town!
I put together this fall color board and for the first time used a color generator to extract a soft and beautiful palette. It is a simple tool to use and would be really useful for a bride trying to narrow down her wedding colors. Try it out!

Ruche

Have you heard of Ruche? Ruche (pronounced "roosh") , is a darling online boutique with the prettiest clothes that remind me of Anthropologie but at seriously half the price!

their outerwear is so chic

and they have a truly unique and stylish selection of bridesmaid dresses!
I am smitten with this "glitz and glam ruffle coat" It would work perfectly as a nice outfit coat and at less than $50 it's a steal!
