Dressing The Groom (featured on GWS)

Choosing wedding day attire for your groom can be a challenge, especially if your fiancé isn’t exactly hung up on the details. With a little patience and a few tips (see our series on Green Wedding Shoes for mine), dressing the groom can be a piece of [wedding] cake.

As our wedding creeps closer, we're starting to get all of the little details in order. Ainsworth's suit was definitely new territory for me (and we've since decided to do away with the suit and switch things up a bit more non-traditionally) because menswear is a little less exciting than I'm used to. I'm so grateful for a supportive man who is up for braving GWS with me.

Happy Friday! + weekly roundup

Happy Friday! Things are looking a bit different this week and it's all due to a little technical glitch. Luckily, it was starting to feel like time for a bit of a refresh. Over the next few weeks I'll be tweaking and changing this little corner of the internet but in the meantime, thank you for being patient and continuing to check back for updates.

In other news, it's so great to be in our own space! The month of May was a total whirlwind and I was starting to forget what coming home actually feels like. With trips to Los Angeles, Tennessee and Florida under our belts, my little family is settling in and readjusting to our everyday routine. Hopefully this weekend allows you the time to find peace and joy in your own routine. If there's downtime in sight, feel free to catch up on a few of my favorite links:

Phil & Lui

When Phil + Lui, a German couple determined to create sustainable clothing in a world bursting at the seams with fashion fashion and fleeting trends, contacted me to share their story and I was immediately connected to their unique vision. A line of pieces with a story? An actual purpose? Those are the things that make style so special and important!

p.s. It doesn't hurt that Ben Dahlhaus and Elena Witzeck are so damn cool in this campaign.

Based in Munich, the label is producing meaningful pieces with a flair for urban, utilitarian and conscious fashion. Their first piece, named the "Fjodor", is a reversible t-shirt made with 100% organic and fair-trade materials and aimed to remind you to step back, broaden your view of the world and take it all in. I love the plain side styled with a lot of denim and a hint of relaxed attitude.

I'm so excited to share a bit more about these creative souls soon but I couldn't resist sharing these fun images with you!
