Planning a wedding has brought an entirely new meaning to the phrase fashionably late. I am the most fashionably late person I have ever met, but mix that with the year of a wedding and you’re looking at a lot of things not getting done.
What do you do in preparation for New Years?
Aside from the basics of buying a new dress, I spend the month of December prepping for the New Year by crossing off last minute things on my bucket list for 2016 and dreaming up 2017. You could say that the time between Christmas and New Years Eve is crunch time for creating my vision for 2017 and that is exactly what I have been working on this week. When I say “working,” I mean watching Taylor Swift music videos (I prefer the 1989 World Tour on Apple Music), drinking wine, and reading books about movers and shakers of the world to remind me of what’s possible.
Have you thought about your holiday outfits yet?
I cannot believe how quickly they snuck up ! This cozy coat is what I will be wearing while I am listening to Justin Bieber’s Christmas album (my favorite song is Christmas Eve), and drinking a festive holiday cocktail with everyone in town to celebrate the special season! Whether you are a Biebs fan or not, you have to admit that his holiday tunes are fire.
Hey guys, Cath here! I am coming at you with some last minute Cyber Monday sales inspired by this #ootd look I wore in NYC and beyond. Is anyone else having a hard time restraining themselves with all of these deals going on? If you haven’t had time to get anything yet – check out my picks below!
PS I am especially into this Vince leather jacket + this amazing Topshop blouse!
Reb and I love shooting at this spot in Richmond.
We have been coming back to this abandoned building in Scotts Addition with cameras in tow, in our TCP best (#ootd) for over a year now. However, when the two of us pulled up here to do our usual TCP thing recently, we were shocked to see what used to be a very white building painted grey. I have to admit we were both intially disappointed in not only this change, but the thought of the change that is impending our reliable shooting location.
Rebecca and I have both been on board with the crushed velvet trend. She recently scored some blue velvet booties and I recently picked up these grey ones. I love the way these boots compliment the TIJN mirrored sunnies in this ensemble. Not to mention, these Simmi booties give this ASOS black dress just the uniqueness that I was looking for. What velvet pieces are you crushing on this season?
So, I guess I should announce that I am getting married in 7 months, May 20th. (WTF!, so much to do, so little time!)
After visiting a couple of venues and making some wedding related decisions, I popped over to Lunch for some post-decision-making grub. Whether you are visiting the river city or live in Richmond, I would highly recommend sitting on their patio as the months grow colder. It is perfectly instagramable and dressed up with open fires and string lights. (more…)
I have acknowledged on several occasions during the life of TCP that I am a self-help junkie. While some may dismiss self help literature as overindulgent and selfish, cathclaire (that’s me) thinks the complete opposite. Is learning how to show up as the best version of yourself for everyone in your life really a selfish thing? If you become better, can’t you help everyone around you in an improved, better way?
If there is a piece of jewelry I can’t walk out of the house without these days, it’s this Drift Riot “When I think of You” knot collar. (sweet name, right?) We’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: there are so many awesome companies based in Richmond and Drift Riot is one of them.
How is everyone feeling on this fine Friday? Are you loving yourself as much as Kanye loves Kanye today? How many times have you listened to the new Chainsmokers song? Do you like this ASOS dress?
