Such Great Style! Wedding dress with Oxfords

This is beyond cool--a breezy wedding dress with Oxfords that appears in this month's Vogue. I love when something like the preciousness of a wedding dress is tempered by something not "sweet"; the shoes are perfect and her hair is a fabulous new take on mod.

Don't you just want to sink your teeth into this? I'm sure everyone knows I'm crazy about macaroons as I've referred to them a couple of times on the blog. They're just the best dessert--I even had a huge apothecary jar full of these sweet cookies at my wedding.

Vintage Wedding Dress

There has been a resurgence of the vintage look in bridal wear. When I was married this summer, I wore white swiss dots and it was such a breezy, classic sixties look. The dusty pastels of this tea length dress are perfect for an early fall wedding.

Super 8 Movies

Super 8 film is experiencing a renaissance—and thank goodness for it! In general, there is nothing like using film to capture the moving image. I believe the unique look of Super 8 is becoming popularized again because of the film’s gritty texture, which is just so genuine and magical. To be honest, I’ve become bored with slick, super clean images. The Super 8 clip above looks like its vintage 1960s, right? It’s actually my husband and I after our wedding ceremony this past summer. It’s my favorite picture from the big day. We didn’t have access to a lot of Super 8 film, so our cinematographer shot with two cameras and the final product mixes Super 8 sequences with digital video to supreme effect. I highly recommend Super 8 for any special life event you want to celebrate—the end result will be dreamy and super cool. Filmmaker Paul Krover shares more on what he has coined the Super 8 “Retro-lution".
