Wedding Mondays

It is such a treat when I get permission to share a wedding video from one my friends. In our last Wedding Mondays post, it may have seemed like I was completely fed up with the series that I created on Yow Yow! but this post is quite the opposite. You may not believe me, but I likely would have posted this even if I didn’t know Anji and Sherwin. Prior to them hiring Kapsule Co. I had been following them on Instagram for some time. It’s unclear how I first discovered them, but I loved them for their simplicity and timeless elegance. It’s not just the weddings they shoot that fall into this category, it’s their natural aesthetic. The only downside? We wished the wedding video could have been longer because it left us wanting more – just like the day itself.

Sherwin and I met as coworkers back in 2014 and remained friends even after we both left the company. It was that same friendship that led us to working together again in present time. So of course, nothing could make this more special than seeing someone I’ve worked alongside closely for years get married! It was a perfect day in Winters, California. The venue itself was flawless serving all aspects of the day with four designated areas in one: ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dance party. I haven’t seen a better transition from one area to another in any other wedding that I’ve attended.

In addition to their Winters wedding, Anji and Sherwin also had a ceremony in China. This juxtaposition within the wedding video of merging these two events is one of my favorite parts and a nice addition given that many of their friends and family didn’t get to see this part since it was kept small.

Honestly, my commentary of this wedding doesn’t do it any justice. Instead, here’s a nice feature of it from the Park Winters [wedding blog] that is worth reading/viewing from start to finish!

Emmy’s Red Carpet 2019

Zendaya in Vera Wang

Wow way to shut a red carpet down. After the game, I watched the red carpet on television and look after look, I continued to be underwhelmed. The show had begun and I still was refreshing different blogs to see if anything else would come in that would stun me. Halfway through the show was when we saw Zendaya. Channeling Poison Ivy vibes in this beautiful Vera Wang, she absolutely steals the show. After every award show, I always post my favorite 5-7 looks on Instagram Stories. This year, we only needed the one.

Versace

We had to start with this photo because it is absolutely iconic. Jennifer Lopez doesn’t even look like she’s aged since the last time she wore the original rendition of this dress 20 years ago at the Grammys. I finally had a chance to catch Jennifer Lopez last night in “Hustlers” and she blew me away with her performance. This is her year and while she’s always been recognized as a triple threat, she deserves every award that comes her way.

Julien Macdonald

I’ve loved following Julien Macdonald’s collection for as long as I could remember. Never growing up with even an ounce of tom-boyishness in me, feminine looks have always felt more comfortable. Granted, I’d say Julien skews to the extreme end of feminine, but how fun is this collection? In a way, it walks a bit on the wild side. Most might believe they wouldn’t be able to pull off looks like these, but I think that’s the best part of it. Giving it a shot and if it doesn’t work out, you’ve learned a little bit more about your own personal style and what you can and can’t do.
