Featured Wedding... Emily & Mike

I'm so excited to have Emily and Mike's wedding featured in The Best Wedding Magazine! 

I had such a fun time designing their vintage birdcage-inspired wedding.  Emily was easy-going and calm throughout the whole planning process, and Mike, a talented graphic designer, created all the stationery, including handmade invitations out of paper towels!

Mad Men Fashion: Peggy Olson Twist

Peggy Olson's (Elizabeth Moss) is a junior copywriter at Sterling Copper. Once a bit of an odd duck, Peggy's new found self confidence makes you want to shout "you go girl". Her own office with a window, smoking marijuana, my gosh what's next burning her bra? That's not till seasons 7, but I can't wait!

This week fashion inspiration is a farewell to the old Peggy. No more little girl with a ponytail, even though I have to admit I'll miss her sweater's a bit.
