Under the Weather

Feeling not so great today. I'm fact I'm feeling as icky as the stormy weather here...

At least Florida storms are pretty...

Today's outfit details: In an effort to brighten my day with a little cheer I wore my comfiest shorts that have a happy neon print, spin pins for an easy out of the way updo, and for an extra pick me up pink pearl earrings and my fave perfume. 

Also, maybe it's just the head pain talking  but how cool does this mercury glass votive holder look through my water glass? Gots to keep hydrated whilst sick you know? Or else you start seeing things... Ooh, it looks like shiny silver scales.. 

Kisses,

What I Wore

My Brother's Wedding

My youngest brother got married this summer on June 15th!

His bride is the sweetest thing ever and I'm so excited and happy to have her as a sister now!

The wedding was a gorgeous affair at Church Street Station in Orlando, a beautiful historic Victorian building full of gilding and stained glass. (I'll post more on the location another time.)

The wedding was touching, lovely, and a blast! Just what a wedding should be.

Here's a little peek below:

The dress. So pretty. (Also note the rich wood and gilded wall coverings.)

The bridal party was large but close and I was honored to be a part of it. I'm second on the left from the bride, one of only two tall girls, the rest were adorable shorties. Such a fun group of girls too!

Obligatory silly sibling shot (I've got one of the groom's legs and am holding my bouquet up in the air). "Quick! Everyone pick up the (6'4") groom!" Yeah, that was my goofy idea... He's the baby after all, no seriously, he's the youngest. :) His nickname from me is, ironically enough, small child. From when he actually was.

The lovely flowers that my Aunt put together. The bride wanted pink, pink, and more pink with French flair.

Photo booth with the sisters! The bride and groom picked out an Effiel Tower they liked and put it in front of a black background. And the props? They're was a box full of fun. Not to toot my own horn but I made all the props myself... Toot. Toot.

Perhaps I'll post more later? For now though I think this is a lovely little bit of loveliness.

Kisses,

K

Oh Happy Day; Birthday

Today is my eldest sister's birthday today!

She is wonderful big sister and a vivacious, caring, and all around lovely person inside and out!

She volunteers at the oncology ward at her local children's hospital (among other places), just graduated nursing school, and is also a successful promotional model.

She's the type of girl who was president of her sorority and loves a bit of sparkle but is super intelligent and kind hearted. In short, I'm lucky to have her as my sister! (She just got engaged to a great guy this year too and will be getting married in Hawaii in January!) She sounds pretty fantastic doesn't she?

So, please join me in wishing her the Happiest of Birthdays!

 

Thanks for being awesome and hope you have the best of birthdays dear sister!

Kisses,

K(J)

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes

I love me some zebras and these shoes are the kind of quirky I admire. Definitely a statement piece but a comfy looking statement piece.

"Muffie Linen Loafer Yellow

We are thrilled to introduce our first collection of iomoi loafers Hand made in Italy 100% linen, soft supple leather in pop colors inside and on the soles. Once you put these on you will be in LOVE!"

On sale for just $200. Sooo affordable right? At that steal of a price these cuties won't be seeing any action in my closet but it's fun to look!

Kisses,

Happy House: Rachel Zoe

Love or hate Rachel Zoe (Confession, I love.), you have to see her gorgeous house... While not typically my taste, I find it super lovely.

Even with a baby in tow it's a minimalist dream of gorgeousness!

So chic. So light. So white. Almost like a design palette cleanser.

 

The current September issue of InStyle is sharing all the deets but it's the photos of the space itself that really sing:

 

She calls her living room the white room. Note the platforms on display on the coffee table, so fashion.

The kitchen is perfection! I love me a mostly white kitchen, yes, please! It's a total shame that she doesn't cook in it except for baby food... The things I could make on that stove... Le sigh...

Her bedroom manages to be both spare and comfy looking. Lurve her fluffy throw on the bed and the Missoni pillows.

Apparently her huge to die for "couch bed" (sic) is by Philippe Starck. Yes, please! Also note the framed vintage Hemès ads on the wall, so fashion chic.

 

This, is the best part to me though. This outdoor space is insane! Just absolutely gorgeous and perfect! Would.not.change.a.thing.

And of course, I couldn't not post her closet perfection. Zebra dress, zebra rug, zebra love!

Even baby Skylar has a chic closet of his very own complete with designer clothes, natch.

While I don't think I will be buying designer baby clothes ever, they are pretty cute...

Overall it's a gorgeous space, no? Would you ever have so much white in your house? It's certainly lovely but not very practical... But I don't think practical was on Zoe's design requirement list...

Kisses,

K
