for the lack of fashion show coverage this season here on the blog. We’ve been delightfully busy here in the office and I must admit, I haven’t been very inspired by the shows overall. Now that Paris Fashion Week is over, I’m sure we’ll backtrack and find some looks we can’t help but share, but I’m afraid it’s that same feeling I got when I was an editor. Sometimes it’s just that kind of season that “makes me crazy” {that’s good} or one that makes it feel more like a job.
Have you checked out the blog Shelter yet? It’s incredibly chic and packed with design inspiration! The lovely Paloma introduced me to the blog and provided a link for a peek into Julie’s home {Julie is the woman behind the interior design firm and blog, Shelter}. Care to take a tour?
I love how craspedia can break up a lush, romantic bouquet and make it slightly modern while adding incredible texture. Don’t they do the same for the Heidi braid?
I just discovered a fantastic new digital shelter magazine and had to share. It’s called Nesting Newbies and is geared towards people “new to nesting and have no clue when it comes to cooking, entertaining, and decorating”–a great resource for those of us who have not quite mastered our way around the kitchen {I’m SO guilty!}. The affordable ideas for creative tabletops, cooking videos available on the website, and delicious food photography may just be the ticket to helping me overcome my fear of the kitchen!
I’ve always viewed Martin Margiela’s designs as works of art that should be collected and appreciated as such. So when I read that more than 1,000 vintage and one-of-a-kind pieces, owned by the late Marcia Berger are now on display at Resurrection Vintage Clothing in New York and Los Angeles, I was elated! 300 select pieces are also featured for sale on design auction website 1stdibs.com. With most pieces priced in the four-figures, this collection isn’t for everyone, but perusing the pieces online is a must-do for fashion lovers!
Attention engaged readers!! This Monday, March 1st, Swoon is launching a contest that will have you salivating… The winner will win three gorgeous Swoon bridesmaid dresses of her choice. That’s a sure-fire recipe for three happy bridesmaids if I’ve ever heard one! {That’s almost $1,000 worth of chic silk bridesmaids dresses, free!}
The contest runs from March 1st through April 30th. Here’s all you need to do: Brides-to-be submit a written statement {to: enterme@swoondress.com} explaining why you adore your bridesmaids, what they mean to you, and why you picked them to be by your side on the big day. Swoon designer/owner Amy Wong Micucci will choose the winner and will announce the winner in early May.
Please keep in mind that the dresses are made to order and will take 3 to 4 months for production. Good luck!! xx
