Peach + Blue at J. Crew

Final sale items at J. Crew are currently 40% off with the code STYLE40. I got a few J. Crew gift cards from work recently and went a little crazy cashing in on this amazing deal. I quickly realized that almost all of the items in my shopping cart were either blue or peach – two colors I’m currently in love with. Below you’ll find some of my favorite items that are included in the 40% off sale. Happy shopping!orangebluejcrewsale

The Wedding Preview

I am so blessed to have a best friend whose boyfriend is equally as talented at picture-taking as she is, or else I would have no photos to share of the wedding until I get our official ones back from Ryan in a few weeks! Sophee and Johnny captured some precious moments from both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding day. Sasha and I got married on July 19 at The Carneros Inn in Napa, and while everything didn’t go as expected (to be explained momentarily), it was the most perfect day of my life…

As mentioned last week, I fainted during the ceremony (honestly, who does that?). All of those warnings to eat food, drink water, bend your knees, etc. are not to be taken lightly. Fainting runs in our family, so neither of my parents were surprised when 15 minutes into the ceremony, Sasha asked me, “Are you okay?” To which I replied, “No,” then subsequently fell onto his shoulder and he placed me on the ground. A whole two minutes later, I wake up to a host of very capable people putting ice on my neck and holding me in the right position. I had two doctors and a paramedic at the wedding, so I was well-taken care of. After going inside to cool off, we returned outside – to continue the ceremony seated (with parasols – see pictures below). I was in good spirits about the entire event – you truly cannot let anything ruin this special day. It also helped that Sasha scooped me off my feet to carry me inside, which his groomsmen swear was all planned to make him look like a knight in shining armor. The rest of the evening went without a hiccup – the speeches, food, drinks, company, and dancing were all incredible. I cannot wait to share Ryan’s pictures with you when they arrive. In the meantime, here are some that Sophee and Johnny took. Thank you to them both! Love y’all so much.

Our Rehearsal Dinner

Our Rehearsal Dinner was on Thursday, July 18 at Gundlach Bundschu – we invited our bridal party and family to the dinner, then opened the event up to all guests for drinks at the end of the night. I honestly couldn’t have envisioned a better way to start the wedding festivities. I got to meet some of Sasha’s extended family for the first time and saw some of our Scottish friends whom I haven’t seen in years. A very relaxed evening and a perfect segue to the Big Day.

Favorite Looks of the Week

We’re back from California – and I’m a married! We won’t have the official wedding photos from Ryan for awhile, but I have some pictures that friends took which I’ll post next week. I’ll also include some details from the happiest day of my life… like me fainting during the ceremony! True story! I rebounded quickly though – the rest of the day was a fairytale. Below is a collection of my favorite looks. Which do you like the most? xo
