Wedding Crush.

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

My friend Jessica turned me onto the genius that is Alison Conklin’s photography. I am, to put it mildly, obsessed. These two weddings really sealed the deal though- from the mind-blowing bridesmaids dresses and scenery (interiors too) of a wedding in Ireland to a deliciously hip Philly wedding. I advise all of you, even those not interested in weddings, to look at her galleries. What a talent!

Coolest bridesmaid dresses I have EVER seen. EVER.

How cool si this room? Note the deer heads mounted on printed bases on the wall at back? LOVE. The wall color is perfection too.

Photographers have the most amazing way of turning simple spaces and groupings of objects into magical vignettes of life. James Merrell is one of those people. He’s shot for Anthropologie, Domino, J.Crew and Town & Country, among many others. I love the effortless feel these rooms and objects possess. (You may recognize a few shots from some of our favorite Domino spreads too…) Porfolios like these are such fantastic sources of inspiration!

Labor of Love

Monday, July 6th, 2009
I am simply enamoured with the wedding/portrait photographers Our Labor of Love. Creativity, artistry and fun permeate each image this group shoots- just try not to spend an hour going through their portfolio here. What lucky people who get to have their important life milestones captured by these creative geniuses… (and some fantastic wedding ideas for those who are planning too…)






This wedding below looks like it was spectacular! Tulips hanging from mossy “chandeliers”?
I die.





Loving the richness of the bold colors…



..and even the quiet moments sing with beauty!

OLOL also offers a “smilebooth” when they shoot weddings which looks like a perfect way to capture the silliness and exuberance of guests- filled with props and fitted with a remote to take the shots you’re guaranteed some hysterical images…

Eric Roth: Personal Space Exhibit

Monday, April 6th, 2009


photos courtesy of Eric Roth

You may recall the post I did a few months ago on the work of interior photographer Eric Roth, who shot my home for the Boston Globe Magazine. Well, he’s having a huge exhibit of his work, Personal Space, at the Boston Design Center beginning April 17th, and guess who is included? Me! I am so honored and thrilled that he chose two pictures from our shoot to include in his amazing retrospective exhibit and even put my little mantle scape on the invite above! If you are in the Boston area between then and June 16th you should take a trip over and take a gander at his fantastic work…

As for the Domino contest- thank you for your fantastic submissions!!! I’ll be judging them tonight and will post the winners tomorrow!

Life Through the Lens

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

I have found a new crush- photographer Paul Costello. Turns out he’s shot just about every image in my “absolute favorites” file and I had no idea. Photographers can take a space that looks ho-hum and transform it into something that sings. What they do is amazing, and I hope one of my “careers” in this life will be a photographer. I love the process, the lifestyle, the creativity and imagination. Paul’s work makes life look it’s best, and makes me wish I lived inside one of his pictures…


















Check out his fashion and lifestyle photos too- they are so charming!

If You Lived Here You’d Be Home By Now

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

I woke up with some serious bloggers block- lots of dog eared magazine pages to scan, but not feeling it today. So instead I hopped on Flickr and typed in “Beacon Hill”- the prettiest, most charming neighborhood in Boston (the South end coming in a close second!) I found such gorgeous images from so many talented photographers I decided to just post them. You’ll notice most of them are of front doors- I have a thing for front doors- and someday want to do a coffee table book of just front doors and entryways into homes. I think they speak volumes about people and what lies inside their four walls. Call me crazy, I know, but it’s just one of my quirky obsessions.
Andrew and I are toying with selling our home and moving into the city. How much would you like to live here?










If we were to move to BH, we’d have to live through that tiny door underground where the non-millionaires reside. :)








Can’t beat the shops and littel cafe’s either- it’s very European feeling, maybe that’s why I love it so much!

*sigh* Someday I hope I can call this place home. In the meantime, for more eye candy check out this photostream on Flickr.
