Just Because: Sonoma, Parasols & Bikes!

How fun/beautiful/quirky/real are the photos of this gorgeous vintage-inspired Sonoma wedding  featured on Style Me Pretty??? 

My personal faves - jumping groomsmen with parasols in hand...

I do not know many brides who would jump on a bike in their white gown, but this photo is awesome!

Towel Envy

Claim your lounge chair by the pool or sandy beachfront locale in style with a beach towel by CHANCE. The "SPF 10,000" is calling my fair skinned and freckled name!

Wouldn't these looked great atop lounges in classic Sunbrella striped outdoor fabric? Now I just need a pool...and a backyard!

Acrobats of God

This weekend I popped into Opening Ceremony with the sole intention of "window shopping" (I swear!). But really what is a shoe-loving girl to do when she runs smack into a lovely looking lilac heel! For the record, I do not currently own any lilac heels so trying them on was completely justified - almost like research (do my feet look their best in lilac?!).  I know it sounds like a myth, but these are the most comfortable shoes E-V-E-R. The straps are all 100% elastic, hold your foot firmly in place, and the heel is a very modest height. I will let the shoes speak for themselves, but I have a definite new shoe crush: Acrobats of God.

Daybed Delights

I spotted this vintage fretwork daybed over at the Petite Flea online at Jayson Home & Garden. Is it not amazing? I would love to curl up on it with a book and a glass of wine. I can just imagine the oohs and aahs it would elicit from guests - quite the showstopper!

Now to find an apartment with a large sun room...

TTT Turns 1 Today!

Today is the one year anniversary of To The Tens! I have been so swamped this week that I was afraid I had missed my own blog-iversary, but am thrilled to have caught it just in time. It has been a great year and I have learned and been inspired by so much. Most importantly, I have discovered how classy and welcoming fellow lifestyle bloggers are - thank you and my readers for all of your support!

I look forward to another great year of To The Tens...

Adore Adele

I cannot get enough of Adele's new album, 21. I find a new song to fall in love with with every listen and I have yet to tire of one track. Vogue wrote a short piece on the British darling a few years ago that you can read here. I love her mix of vintage, girly, and street - it results in a perfect ladylike edge! I think it is about time this uber talented and insanely adorable artist grace the cover of one of the big 4...Gaga did Vogue so let's get Adele out there!

Below is Adele in her home in London discussing and performing "Someone Like You." I would love to be her neighbor and get to listen to her sing all day...

Amazing Alexa

I was totally captivated by these images of Alexa Chung in this week's Net-a-Porter magazine. It proves what we already knew, but is still utterly annoying - Alexa looks divine in everything...

This red lace Erdem dress is going to the top of my lust-list. Insanely gorgeous!

Are you a Matchbook Girl?

Matchbook Mag debuted their sophomore issue last night and I am readily identifying with the list of traits that describe the matchbook girl. Particularly "considers picnicking an outdoor sport" (although one I love)...

I am thrilled to see that one of my favorite fashion designers, Chris Benz, graces the cover this month...

After winning the CFDA/Emerging Designer Award upon graduation, Chris went on to start his own line at only 24 years old. I personally love his use of color and play on "sportswear."

I was very pleased to learn that Chris is one of the few designers who still manufactures his clothes locally in the garment district.

Almost all of the items in his apartment were purchased on eBay! I could use a serious eBay tutorial for him...
