Wedding dress, second guess…

930109_013_b

Remember how excited I was to have found my wedding dress at J.Crew a few months back?  Well, I’ve changed my mind!  I still love and admire the original pick, but just haven’t been able to pull the trigger.  We’ll be moving come June and I don’t want to settle on a dress until I know where I’ll be wearing it.  I still want a small garden ceremony, but would love to it to take place in our new city (I’m currently rooting for Washington D.C.).  Anywho, I came across the dress above at Anthropologie last week and was instantly charmed.  Perhaps a simple, champagne tea length dress is the way to go?

Metropolitan Museum of Jewels

Picture 6I just received my catalog from The Metropolitan Museum of Art Store and am smitten with these three pairs of antique-y earrings.  I became a member of the museum when I lived in Manhattan last year and it was deadly—not only is the art collection unparalleled, but the gift shop is an art lover’s Eden.  The turquoise and pearl “forget-me-not” sets are based on a design by Peter Carl Fabergé that was popular in 19th century Russia.  The last pair of daisies is also based on a Fabergé design, drawn from an individual flower in his famed Basket of Wild Flowers Egg.  How I adore history…especially when combined with costume jewelry.
