Here in New England, we woke up to a light dusting of snow this morning. Really, March? It was 80 degrees last week, and we’re ready for spring. Here is the list of inspiring links that helped to cheer us up after that rude (and chilly) awakening…

5. Did you pre-order a copy of Elizabeth Messina’s Luminous Portrait yet?

6. This Libro Clutch from Scout and Catalogue would make a fabulous bridesmaids’ gift.

10. Love is…

We always say “I do” to Claire Pettibone, and her Spring 2012 line is no exception. The romantic fabrics and vintage French feel have us head over heels. Our favorite dress, the Fleur De Jour, is the epitome of romance. The strapless, beige, cotton toile gown features a subtle pink and green embroidered overlay and an optional ruffled sleeve bolero.

We love all weddings; it’s a fact. But oftentimes, when it’s a wedding professional who gets married, something special happens. Nichole Michel of Coral Pheasant Stationery + Design was kind enough to let us feature her swoon-worthy Rhode Island wedding photographed by Carla Ten Eyck. It is to die for. Every detail is carefully executed, and the stationery was absolutely gorgeous, obviously. With coordination help from Jubilee Events, this bride put together an unforgettable soiree that takes our breath away, and we’re super lucky that Jim Altieri of Vintage Cinema captured the entire thing on film. Grab a tissue…
