What Would Jackie Wear?

Desiree — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 15:19:47 +0000

By now I am sure you know my obsession with Jackie Kennedy, I mean seriously how amazing is she? I blogged about her here and here and sorry kids, I am going to do it again! Some of my friends are getting engaged this year (yay), and that means lot’s of engagement parties. I have to ask myself, what would Jackie wear? Maybe something like this?

Are you going to a lot of engagement parties this year? Tell me about it!! What are you wearing?

A Modern Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! Which means it is a month of extra love, sweets and kisses. Last year DSE did this shoot with one of my favorites Trent Bailey Photography. To get us all in the spirit, I thought I would share! You can see the whole post on Ruffled Blog.

Do you have any fun plans this year for Valentine’s Day?!

I am back from vacation! So excited for everything DSE in 2012!

This year I just started liking tomatoes. Gasp! I know! I never liked them before, and now I can’t get enough of them. I’ve been dreaming up some dishes to make this weekend for the family, and look at these gorgeous pictures I found…

Wardrobe Essentials for a Winter Wedding…

Desiree — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 19:15:08 +0000

Attending a wedding this winter season, and have nothing to wear? You probably already scoured your closet for that perfect outfit, and have just given up.

It can be difficult to find something suitable, cute and weather friendly. I think we all want to reach for that little black dress, after all you can’t wear red (too literal) and you certainly can’t wear winter white (no upstaging the bride) so what to do?!

I say go for patterns, a statement shoe and some rocking accessories. Here are my faves which you can purchase entirely at Shop Bop!

1. Tory Birch gold clutch
2. Kate Spade licorice suede pumps
3. Eugenia Kim earmuffs
4. Missoni turtle neck sweater dress
5. Porter Grey camel coat
6. Marc Jacobs necklace
