DESIGNER CHALLENGE DAY 19: BURLESQUE

I have never planned a burlesque-themed affair, and thought that I never would, but after day 19 of the Full Circle Eventi challenge, I may just seek an opportunity out. 

I chose an understated burlesque feel with black, white, silver, and gold, with bits of feathers and bling, and I think the result is subtle and elegant.

DESIGNER CHALLENGE DAY 13: 2014 TREND OF CHOICE

There are so many amazing wedding trends for 2014, and with day 13 of the Full Circle Eventi challenge, we were tasked to design another wedding using the trend of our choice. I chose to focus on pops of color. 

We've seen pops of color in the past, but this year it's all about picking only one and using it sparingly. I took Pantone's 2013 color of the year, Emerald, and paired it with black, white, and nude for a fresh, modern twist. The green doesn't show up everywhere - just in pieces of the wedding - and in small doses as to not be overpowering. Take a look and let me know what you think!

TUESDAY SHOESDAY

Oh shoe boots, how I love thee. These Stuart Weitzman stunners might definitely need to find their way into my closet. Yesterday.

They have all the cuteness of your favorite black suede pumps, but with the added support of a tied shoe. And they're on sale for $155 (from $268) on Yoox.com - get 'em while they're hot!
