NYC recap and Ann Taylor windows

Matt and I went on a last, last minute trip to NYC earlier in the week/weekend and had a great time. We've both never been so everything was new. :) It was mostly meetings and business, but we did get to squeeze in some great meals and sightseeing.

Visiting Lovely Bridal Shop. It was so great to meet Lanie and the ladies at Lovely! Such a gorgeous shop - brides - you should check them out!

The lovely Elizabeth Dye - West coast on the east coast. :)

Dining at Momofuku - delish pork buns.

Chocolate french toast at Norma's - layers of sliced loaf chocolate cake, cooked like french toast, with pan seared strawberries, pistachios, chocolate sauce and whipped cream. Yum!

English Dept. Novel Romance Fashion Show 2011

I always love everything at Elizabeth Dye's shop, The English Dept. I also love that Elizabeth is always so sweet and lets me make some pretty things for the Novel Romance Fashion show. You know she made my wedding dress and many wonderful things... yes? Matt and I went to the Novel Romance show yesterday and had a great time. Held at the Ace Hotel event space, the Cleaners, the place was packed. I loved seeing all of Elizabeth's dresses, but also loved the new Ivy & Aster dresses. Bouquets (which I adored) were by Ink & Peat. I took a few photos from the back row so excuse the heads in the photos. There will be many more beautiful photos by Lisa Warninger (of course!) coming soon.

Twigs & Honey Belt paired with an oh so pretty Ivy & Aster dress. :)
