Italian Riviera Photoshoot in the Olive Groves

(The grounds of the mansion, we decided it looked too much like Hawaii and made our way to the olive grove)
As you know from this post, my husband and I were just in Italy 3 weeks ago so that I could style a bridal editorial and to celebrate our one year anniversary. We stayed up north in the Italian Riviera, photographer Maria Lamb of Anthem Photography made time out of the busy schedule to take anniversary photos of us to commemorate. The bouquet was just an extra from the editorial that was the day before, my hair the aftermath of swimming in the Italian Riviera, and my skirt was a fun eBay win from Topshop :) I hope you enjoy the photos as much as we do!! Maria is incredibly talented and works worldwide, in fact, we're already planning ahead for more international work ;) Contact her at Anthem Photography! PS: You may notice I'm on my tippy toes in a few of these, I wasn't about to bring heels to the Italian Riviera, I want the sand in my toes ;)

I am in love with these photos, it's amazing to me that Maria captured the love we have so perfectly, so sweet and pure and genuine. Thank you Maria!!!

Jeff Koons for H&M: The golden balloon dog

H&M has partnered with famous NY artist Jeff Koons to bring you a limited edition designer bag in the campaign "Fashion Loves Art"! They just held a party last week in New York at the opening of their biggest store yet, you can check out photos from the grand opening of their 5th avenue store on Vogue! When H&M asked me to feature the limited edition bag I jumped at the chance to have my very own Jeff Koons piece, especially since this is one of his most popular works! Thank you H&M, keep up the amazing collaborations!! If you want your own bag (of course you do) you can head to your local H&M if you live in New York or LA, otherwise you can find it online at H&M.com. I love the versatility and quirkiness of this bag, and am excited to wear it on nights out or to run errands. 

PS: You may notice the purple streaks in my hair or the flared leg jeans, I'm having an early 2000's moment ;)

1 Year Anniversary in White

As you know from this post, we just celebrated our one year anniversary this past weekend! We went away to the Italian Riviera together at the beginning of July and then celebrated the actual day by heading into city center of Leeds and enjoying a traditional English roast, followed by sticky toffee pudding at the Alchemist. Delicious!! I paired my favorite Sarah Seven dress with this sheer kimono from Chiara Fashion and threw on my go-to summer heel. I kept the accessories minimal by adding touches of gold, like this bangle from Michael Hill Jewelers. I wore the sample vintage necklace from my great-grandmother that I wore the day of our wedding. A classy, comfortable, and bridal inspired outfit. It was a beautiful day in Leeds and this outfit allowed for plenty of room to eat, relax, and stay cool in the summer heat. Which I have been told is totally odd for Northern England, but I'm not complaining!
