weekend inspirations.

I decided a few things over the weekend. Here they are in no particular order of significance.

1. Charlotte is one of the most peaceful, wonderful places. Every street is lined with beautiful trees and flowers revealing homes (or castles) of all styles and sizes, many of which boasted yards so boldly strewn with giant Easter eggs. Festive.

2. I want to learn how to golf. I'll be honest - the attire doesn't exactly excite me but the sport to me is fascinating. Attribute it to the Masters, or the idea of socializing over rolling hills and holes-in-one. Maybe I'll brainstorm this week (for your viewing pleasure) about a get-up for the Wells Fargo Championship in May. I was told by one select individual that a lot of girls wear sundresses and tennis shoes. Ok, let's back this one up - am I alone when I say tennis shoes should only be worn to exercise?

3. I like to make things for the people in my life that inspire me. And make me laugh. And have great style. And are willing to let me experiment with their wardrobe and accessories. So thanks, I won't do you wrong.

The Jennifer Dress.

The bodice detail on this bridesmaid dress is one of my favorite. Each intricate pleat and overlaid piece adds interest and shape. An unexpected ruffle accent in the back makes this frock unforgettable. Just like the sweet friend who serves as the inspiration!

bridesmaids dresses | the meghan.

I've been hiding behind yards and yards of chocolate brown dupioni silk for the past two weeks sewing and fitting bridesmaids dresses for a dear friend's wedding in April. The only request was that we wear brown dresses, so beyond that the choice was wide opened on our end. The Meghan dress is the first one on the scene, fully lined and sleeveless with a ruffle neckline. Here are some of the details:

clutch | brown crocodile.

This leather inspired rich brown, crocodile envelope clutch is perfect for transitioning from daytime chunky sweaters to evenings out. You can snag your very own over on Etsy.
