Enough is enough. We’ve been patient, remained inside with little complaining, fought (for salt), and saw our fair-share of sNOw men. We braced the cold, shoveled fiercely, and drove at our own risk. We succumbed to the fact that our clothes would be static-filled and our brain would be frozen. We woke up, day after day, waiting for the explosion of cherry blossoms. The vibrant green grass. The ability to sit in front of our fireplace because we wanted to, not because we had to de-thaw. We survived winter with a special thanks to a glass of wine and the foreseeable future…a future with Christine’s Spring 2017 “Wonderland” collection being something to look forward to. Whimsical prints coupled with exclusive silk fabric makes for a luxurious look and a comfortable feel. Enter a land of wonder, a land of possibility, and a land of timeless beauty. Shed some layers and remind yourself of what it’s like to feel special again. The “Wonderland” collection encourages embracing femininity with a refreshing twist and zest for life. Leave Winter in the past and move forward into a bright, chic, and flirty Spring. The “Wonderland” collection is calling your name – and it’s time to get exclusive.

Welcome to our very first installment of Christine’s Designer Diary! Christine was ecstatic to plan her youngest daughter’s wedding and has eloquently written about Izzy and Luke’s magical day.

“My youngest daughter Izzy was married in August. She was the most beautiful bride! Years ago, I found exquisite Tambour and Honiton lace from the late 19^th century which I had saved just for this occasion. I designed her strapless gown from champagne Duchesse Satin, completely overlaying it with my treasured antique lace.  The lace itself was dark ecru in color and fell in embroidered panels to the ground and formed a chapel length train.  I had the bodice of the gown hand beaded with tiny pearls for just the right amount of shimmer. 

Izzy’s maids wore custom dresses in soft peach chiffon, accented in antique lace to compliment the vintage inspired bride. The flower girls, in their tulle dresses, were magical as they cast petals down the aisle. It was especially endearing when the youngest carefully handed a petal to the groom.  The ring bearer was a mop of blond curls and darling in his silk bow-tie, while the groomsmen suited the enchanted woodland wedding perfectly, wearing forest green.

A close friend of mine hosted the wedding on her gorgeous wooded property, with sprawling fields of tall grass and grazing cows. At the moment when the pastor announced “the bride has come”, Izzy stepped into the clearing just as the sun came out. I looked up at the huge maple tree and the leaves sparkled as they caught the light.  The scene was like a painting from an old master; enchanted, ethereal, and full of love.

I cried for the beauty of it all.”
