FÊTE TO FASHION: WHAT TO WEAR FOR MEMORIAL DAY

From Poolside with Slim Aarons via Martha Stewart.com

With Memorial Day this weekend, this fête to fashion focuses on the perfect lakeside or poolside BBQ and what to wear to it. I'm thinking sipping on this, eating BBQ and potato salad, and playing badminton poolside.

BISHOP BOUTIQUE LOOKBOOK LAUNCH

As hinted at on my Instagram a few weeks back, I had the amazing opportunity be a part of Carlis's stellar creative team for the Bishop Boutique Spring Look Book.  My task was to design and style the set creating a girly, outdoor picnic setting that the girls could enjoy on what should have been a warm spring day.  Although the weather didn't quite cooperate, you can't tell because of the entire team pulled together to "make it work" and then some.  It also helps when you have completely chic and adorable pieces such as this Hyla DeWitt stunner Aly was wearing or this Milly clutch in coral, Julip Made's favorite color.  See more from the shoot below and a carefully crafted video capturing the day...
