wedding
Our friends Jimmy and Becky got married in Larchmont, NY last weekend, and the reception was a full-on black tie affair at the Winged Foot Golf Club. I love wearing a gown! So here are some pics. A group of us, me in the center in my only floor-length gown (thanks, Erin!):
Dave and me:
And, of course, the gorgeous couple, mid dance, taken with my bad-iPhone camera. (They were soooo happy!)
Happy Friday!
My friend Jeff from high school got married over Memorial Day weekend in gorgeous, sunny Chapel Hill. In true Jeff style, the ceremony was at the Old Well -- a central campus landmark. It was beautiful, Stephanie his bride looked gorgeous (and she's smart and funny too!), and the whole thing just gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling. Aw, I love high school friends. Nipsy, you did well. Hipstomatic vows shot:
Bride and Groom!
Dave and Silent Sam. Man, I love this campus. (Go Heels!)
Old Well cake!
Me with Stephanie (is her hair the best you've ever seen or what?):
Two of my best high school friends, Jeff (the groom) and Jed. See, those friendships totally last!
Happy weekend!
My lovely friends Will and Orla got married a few weekends ago. They live in Dublin but their families flew all the way from Ireland to be at their wedding in Vermont! A wedding with Irish people is extra fun, trust me. Here are some photos:Me on the steps of the very white the Stowe Community Church:
Just married, and so smiley!
I'm telling you, these two are like moviestars in their lovely winter buggy:
They had a dreamy starry cake:
Orla wore amazing glitter Louboutins (yes, Julia, real ones):
Oh, and we did a little skiing too.
Fun, fun!
And I'm going to share some links too, because I found a lot this week that I was into and I like to share:
* I heart this writer. On Gabourey Sidibe from Precious: "She IS full-sized, mofos. She's not ashamed of it. Stop being ashamed for her! DAMN." Go read this awesome rant.
* Erika at Cafe Fashionista interviewed me about my style secret and I totally spilled it.
* You can follow a Magic 8-Ball on twitter and it'll respond with yes/no/etc when you @ it!
* Your shot at a signed copy of Lovestruck Summer ends on 3/15 (check out all the Teen Fiction Cafe posts -- we got deep into writing and the life of an author this week for our third anniversary!)
* Stole this from Linda Gerber, but totally love Simone Elkeles's trailers -- so professional! Had to share:
Happy Friday! Got links to share? Tell me below!
Oh, and PS:
(Can't help it -- EXCITED. Although I think the New Moon trailer was better.)
Those of you who tuned in last week know that for my wedding ceremony, I wore a 1930s slip that was turned into a gown by the amazing and talented Garo Sparo. For the party, though, I wanted a flouncy dress with tulle, 50s style. Once again, Garo came to the rescue, saving a doesn't-really-fit dress I bought on ebay (I had to! I loved it!) and making it mine. Here are some pics (click to enlarge if they look blurry): Two dancing shots (one clear, one I like to call "dreamy") where you can see its volume. 
And one more volume shot: 
A little shot of me and my friend Anne, and a shock of Carolina Blue! 
The shoes! The shoes! I loved them. Vivienne Westwood for Melissa. They can be yours. 
And, of course, I had to abandon the heels later in the night (this is the after party). Bloch ballet flats work, too. 
For the guys, Dave's suit is Gucci. He spent the money I saved on my vintage dresses! Thanks for bearing with me through my wedding fashion timeline. So if you have a thought, tell me: Which dress do you like better? Happy Friday!
