Wedding Bells

I'm so excited to share these images from my wedding! We just had our one week anniversary (woo!) and it is all still sinking in.
The day flew by in a beautiful, surreal blur. All the clichéd things people tell you about getting married are true, by the way. The best advice I received was 1) Do whatever you want. This day is about celebrating you and your betrothed in whatever way suits you best. Wear a black lace wedding dress (I almost did!), play your favorite weird 90s emo song (my friends had their first dance to a song called "Putting the Dog to Sleep" by The Antlers.. it was sad, quirky, and so romantically perfect for them), and skip any traditions that don't resonate with you. 
For my hair, I wanted a dark, romantic look inspired by Marcel waves. My stylist, Corrine, was a total doll who understood my vision. It's so important to find people that "get" you. Weddings are stressful enough without having to pull up a thousand Pinterest images while vehemently gesticulating to get your point across.

Dark Floral

vintage dress, thrifted Prada jacket, Catarzi for Asos hat (similar here), Everlane Petra bag

Got a little dressy for an outdoor wedding yesterday -- I always have a hard time getting dolled up while being weather appropriate in the winter months (hence the open toe boots, ha). This floral dress is super light weight, so the vintage menswear wool coat -- which is pretty much the gray version of this post -- was a lifesaver.
If you're anything like me, I'm sure by this point you're thinking, "alright lady, make with the boots already!" Unfortunately, I scored these at Nordstrom Rack at least 6 months ago, and they're nowhere to be found online. But fear not! I've picked out some perfect substitutes. I'm especially feeling that tan suede pair for summer....


how do you winter-fy a cute outfit? Or am I the only crazy person that wears summer dresses year round?
