What an incredible weekend. We arrived at Ft. Lauderdale airport Friday afternoon and spent the remainder of the day on the beach – drinking Acai Mojitos (consumed far too many…). We ate at Hollywood Prime, then headed to the Justin Timberlake and Jay Z Legends of the Summer concert. It was honestly the best concert I’ve ever been to, by leaps and bounds. It was at Sun Life Stadium in Miami, which is uncovered, so we were super hot (thank goodness I chose a black romper – nice and breezy), but danced like fools the entire night. The set list for the concert is here. Could you pick a better compilation of songs? We slept in on Saturday, then lounged at the pool all day (handstand contests for hours), then showered and met Sasha’s cousins for dinner at Sardellis. I got the burrata salad (which we had at the wedding), and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Sunday was a relaxed morning – we headed to the airport in the late morning. It was truly the perfect beach getaway weekend.

Bienvenido a Miami

And we’re off again! This weekend, we’re heading to Miami for the Justin Timberlake and Jay Z Legends of the Summer concert. I’ve seen JT in concert a few times now, and he is amazing. I could not be more excited about this concert. And beach time. Much needed.

I Love Tulle

tulleskirts

It’s official: I have to get a tulle skirt. The perfect fall essential that can be dressed up to a party or dressed down to hang out with friends (see Blair’s layered chambray + checkered button-down combo). I’ve been seeing lots of tulle lately, and I decided that I need to bite the bullet and buy a skirt. I’m leaning towards the Free People About Girl Tutu (number two above). Are you a tulle fan?

Gallery Walls

I love gallery walls. Like, obsessed. One of the few things left to be done in the Manor is hanging stuff on the walls. For some reason, Sasha is afraid to make holes in the wall, so he’s pushed back on me about all of the prints I’ve wanted to hang. I’ve convinced him to do a gallery wall in one of the guest rooms, and I’ve laid everything out on the floor for another in the study. I’m still not sure it’s perfect yet, so decided to pull some inspiration. My favorites below! What are your thoughts on gallery walls?

Fabric Invites

I really enjoy unique wedding invitations (ours featured here) – the recent trend that has caught my eye is having fabric invitations and/or save-the-dates. Whether it be a screen pressed invitation, a fabric pouch for the paper, or a custom printed handkerchief, the different material adds a special element to the set. I’ve put together some of my favorite examples below, including a site where you can order all sorts of custom fabric invitations for a very reasonable price. Click here to shop.
