This week in Study Hall:

I think it's mostly the fab lounge-y sofa I'm in love with here but I do think this bridal portrait is great! So relaxed and real (and such a beautiful bride!).

Several of you suggested I use one of my antique brooches in my hair. This is the first photo I came upon with said hairstyle. I like it!


Found on {ritzy bee} via InStyle

What does everyone think of this girl's smoky eyes? I was thinking about taking this photo with me to my next make-up trial. I'll be asking to try out some more natural-looking faux lashes with a different blush and different lipgloss.

And, our awesome photographers offered to stay an additional day to do a 'We Did' photo shoot the day after the wedding ... so of course, I already started thinking about our outfits! And, my go-to guide is always J. Crew so I thought I'd share some of my favorites. I love the argyle above but I promise not to wear any distracting patterns or colors. I just wanted to throw it in there!

Here's my line-up of inspiring outfits from the Crew:


I'm going for something casual and a bit beachy ... J mentioned khaki shorts with a white top and boat shoes and I thought that was simple and lovely. I was thinking about a white cable knit sweater with a khaki skirt or shorts and some metallic sandals or just flip-flops.

What would you wear?

I'm taking off for a long weekend to my parents' house so I won't be around until next week. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend! xox.

  3. I really like the idea of all white. Its timeless. Also, I do like the last pictured outfit. You could do the white sweater with khaki shorts and a navy jacket or a white top and a navy sweater tied around your shoulders. I love the idea of the "we did" photos!

  5. We're doing a "day-after" shoot, but we're going to get back into our wedding dress and tux. I'm not doing a bridal session, so this will give me more opportunities to be pictured in my dress, and by going the day after, we can get some really cool pictures and not worry about 1) keeping our guests waiting or 2) getting the dress or tux dirty (not that we're going to trash them!)

  6. Regarding brooches in your hair - I often use old clip-on earrings. You can clasp them to a pin in your hair.

  8. i really like the last outfit - there is a similar (but different...) style up on anthropolgie.com at the mo - you should check out their country style range of outfits; really cool but not too trendy.

  9. I love the idea of putting an antique brooch in your hair. It's so elegant! A little sparkle and shine never hurt anyone!

  10. Hi there!

    Check out this new blog these three 20-something girls are doing - one of them is getting married and the other 2 are bridesmaids. They all blog about their experiences and about the upcoming wedding. It's pretty funny. Anyway, here's an ad linking to http://thatswhatshewed.wordpress.com to post if you want. Thanks so much! Keep up the good work, we love your blog!

  11. I think the smokey eye look is actually classy, it doesn't look gothic or sloppy it just adds definition to the overall look and conture of the eyes. I say go for it!

  12. The model in the all white outfit (which I love) looks like the missing Minogue sister!
