Spring fever at Ruche

Have you seen the fabulous spring lookbooks over at Ruche? They're the result of a collaboration with the talented Stephanie Williams, who happens to be one of my favorite photographers. I can't decide which I adore more, the clothing or the photography!

Mouth-watering photography

My, oh my. These photos, featured in the March 2007 issue of Vogue Girl Korea, are so decadently beautiful that I just had to share. I don't think I'd be able to function properly with so much sugar in the room. Everything looks so enticing, no?

Black lace necklaces from White Owl

Sisters Courtney and Christina Spivak create the most beautiful jewelry out of recycled and repurposed finds. I love these black lace necklaces they handcrafted. Surefire conversation pieces, aren't they? If black isn't really your thing, you'll be happy to know that some of these designs are also available in white. Swing by the Spivaks' Etsy shop, White Owl, to purchase their gorgeous handmade creations.

Dreamy wedding dresses from Justin Alexander Couture

Here's a little-known fact about yours truly: I absolutely adore weddings. I don't anticipate getting married for at least a few years, but that doesn't stop me from scooping up bridal magazines at the newsstand or envisioning my own dream wedding. I frequently find myself perusing the websites of wedding gown designers, oohing and ahhing over their collections of gorgeous creations.

The dresses below are from the Justin Alexander Couture collection. I love their classic lines, sumptuous fabrics, and elegant accents. Aren't they stunning?

A delightful display

I'm in love with these photos of Store 518 shot by Lee Clower. Aren't they just dreamy?
