Weekend Snapshots

The details are the best part of a wedding celebration - and the wedding outfit. I piled on a collection of baubles including my grandmother's white and goldtone bracelet, a vintage rhinestone bracelet discovered at a local antique shop, and an inexpensive watch from New York & Co.

I packed in a flu-ridden stupor, neglecting to include a few of Nate's dress-up essentials: a white undershirt and a black belt. Thirty minutes before the event, he was racing to Walmart as I leisurely finished getting ready.

Much to our surprise, we matched the floral arrangements ... and I committed a fashion faux pas. The watermelon-pink color of my dress perfectly matched that of the bridesmaid.

Nothing could hold a candle to the best part of the weekend: brandy old fashioneds. The cocktail may not get much recognition outside of Wisconsin's borders, but the rest of America is simply missing out.

  5. The stacked bracelets and watch look simply beautiful. I'm all about "excessorising" as Rachel Zoe says!
