Merci beaucoup

A few months ago we had the chance to meet up with Jacqueline Weppner, the beauty behind Merci New York. Can I just tell you, this woman is inspiring?! Along with being incredibly sweet, she founded & operates a {New York based} company that offers styling services for brides, an inspiration-packed blog and a lovely little online style shop.

Today’s Purseday pick is straight from their shop. This coral python clutch is begging to be in my closet but really, any color would do.;)I just love the versatility of this little bag and one of my favorite parts… you can choose between vintage inspired brooches for the front closure!! Oh details!

Pretty Paper: Stephanie & Colm

On this Wedding Wednesday, I’m happy to share with you some fun, punchy stationery. First off, I want to say that the bride and groom {Stephanie & Colm} were an absolute kick to work with! Their fun and vibrant wedding vision was a perfect reflection of them… well, with a Lilly Pulitzer influence. Today for Wedding Wednesday, we wanted to share the pretty, preppy invitation suite that set the tone for a gorgeous, relaxed oceanside wedding. Hope you enjoy!!

A whimsical work of art

As you know, we’re obsessed with details. Whether it’s in weddings, stationery or in a fashion form, details are the cherry on top of any design. These Donna Karan wedges from her 2013 collection, are a prime example… with a whimsical floral pattern etched into the lucite wedges.

What do you think of this trend?

Featured: Sree & Patrick

We thought it only fitting to start the week with {1} good news and {2} something absolutely stunning. So friends, get ready to swoon as you see more of this incredible wedding that was recently featured on Style Me Pretty’s main page {the good news!!!}.

We absolutely LOVED the vision of this wedding from the start and welcomed the challenge of setting the stage for two weddings- one Hindu ceremony and a Christian ceremony & reception the following day. Be sure to check out more of Sree & Patrick’s chic, tropical inspiration!! But first, we couldn’t resist sharing this lovely photo of their invitation suite shot by the fabulous 13:13 Photography!!

Happy Monday!

Weekend Inspiration

Is it just me or did this week fly by? After a fabulous time last night at our Fashion Crush event, we’re SUPER excited for this weekend. Why you may ask?? Well, keep reading our weekend inspiration!

Look at pretty paper

Emily and I are getting ready to pack up and head to NYC for the National Stationery Show! Among stationery nerds like ourselves, this is like Christmas. It only comes but once a year and we anticipate, plan and strategize how we want to tackle it. We’ll be soaking up the latest stationery trends, new paper lines and all of that fun stuff.;)If you’d like to celebrate this joyous occasion, you can do so by picking up some pretty paper and sending notes to friends and family!!

Spice up the bun

We all love the sock bun, but let’s be honest… sometimes it’s a little too formal for everyday wear. One of my favorite approaches for the bun, is to put the sock at the base of a loose, high ponytail but rather than rolling the hair in the sock, wrap it around the sock, then pin and spray. This creates a loose, messier version. After catching this pic on Pinterest, I am now excited to pop a scarf into the mix for a fabulous little springtime take!
