But that doesn't mean I didn't adore the shoes that I did wear on my big day (thanks for the hook-up, Coco)!

new favorite bracelet

I just bought this bracelet at J.Crew last weekend and I am loving it!  Super simple, chic and adds just the right amount of bling to any outfit.  It comes in a few other colors (kelly green, hot pink and beige), but as usual, I opted for black.  And at $22.50 it also makes for a great gift!

this just in: shopbop friends + family!

valentino's bows

I'm typically not a huge fan of bows.  In fact, when they first started showing up a couple of years ago, I avoided them at all costs.  Then they started getting a little looser, less perfect, and last fall I actually got on board!  

Last weekend, I was wedding shoe browsing/consulting with a good friend who's getting married in June.  She is seriously considering the most amazing pair of Jimmy Choos as the winning candidate... but I digress.  

While we were dissecting every pair of designer shoes on Nordstrom.com, she pointed out a gorgeous shoe by Valentino... with the most perfect bow ever.  And in a few different styles, it really could be the most perfect shoe ever.

inspiration: for soon-to-be mamas

I'm a little late to the game on this, but everyone is all abuzz about HATCH, a new line of maternity clothing.  Their Spring collection is beautiful, and I'm actually contemplating whether or not I can pull any of these things off as a non-mother-to-be...
