Remember that wallpaper we were talking about?

Well….Victoria’s Secret has come out with a swim fabric that is very reminiscent of it.

So what happened? I bought them. Two out of three featuring the fabric, and only because the third would have looked terrible.

…and they’re going to look just. like. that. on me. {that’s how it works right?}

Still can’t afford that wallpaper, but this is curbing the need for a while. Plus, getting a new ‘kini is always good motivation to stop eating those darn chocolate pastries at Panera.

Is that possible? Can all designers be obsessed with the same thing? This question was posed to me after pinning this coveted wallpaper on Pinterest.

Doubt it. But, sometimes it might seem like it.

Here’s the wallpaper in question:

This is the “Martinique” wallpaper. It’s so iconic it has it’s own website {and probably an official designer fan club}

{I personally, made it my life mission to own this ~$300/roll wallpaper before I ever went to school for design}

Look familiar?

You’ve probably seen it before in the iconic Beverly Hills hotel {where it was made famous}, Elle Decor, my dreams, Blanche’s bedroom in the Golden Girls, shoes, handbags, and I’m pretty sure I saw it in the Jersey Shore house that one time that I watched it.

What’s the big deal?

Honestly? Couldn’t tell you. I could make up a paragraph of fluff talking about the formation of the lines and the color palette and bringing nature indoors and tradition. But, let’s be real.

It’s just cool. There’s something really fantastic about something so bold, so bordering on tacky that’s just completely fabulous.

What are your thoughts? Worthy of style icon status or just too much?

Weddings are money-stealing, time consuming, family drama causing monsters.

But, gosh do we love them. We dream of them. We pin for them. We live for them.

Our photographer posted our pictures online a little over a week ago and I’m in love all over again.

We’ll get the rights to them a few months from now, but to hold me over until them I purchased a digital copy of one of my all time favs and I’d love to share with you.

The day went by so quickly. It’s so so important to choose someone to capture it who will put as much love into the pictures as you do into your new marriage.

Enter: Katie Slater.

She’s just recently started her own photography adventure (yay!) and she’s amazing.

If you’re in New England and looking for a beautiful, positive, love-loving photographer…she’s your girl.

Check her out.

(and no, she doesn’t know that she’s getting this free endorsement. She’s just that great!)
