A White Christmas

This holiday season was nothing short of amazing. We finally got our white Christmas and we owe it partially to the fact that we left the slightly warmer climate of Maryland. (Emphasis on slightly) A longer car ride than we would have preferred later, we arrived in Freeport, Maine. Known as the birthplace of L.L. Bean, the darling town is even more picturesque when covered in a blanket of white. Sprinkled with inns and bed&breakfasts there are numerous places to find lodging, but we were so lucky to have stayed in the L.L Bean House at The Harraseeket Inn. Check out some of the images of below!

The views were seriously postcard worthy.

The Sagamore Pendry, formerly known as the Recreation Pier, opened earlier this year in March as Baltimore’s newest boutique hotel. Long awaited, the surrounding community of Fells Point watched as the abandoned and rotting building was transformed into a breathtaking edifice with touches of old world beauty and the promise of a glittering night life.

A Short Sabbatical

This weekend past, I took another trip into Middleburg, Virginia but this time with my family to celebrate younger sister’s twenty-first birthday.

A favorite location of mine for its quiet and amazing service, for three days we stayed at the Salamander Resort & Spa. Sitting on 340 acres in the heart of the city, it’s the perfect haven of recreation of relaxation with activities to suit persons of all ages. Take a peek at a few of my favorite shots from that lovely couple of days!

Summer Wedding Palette

May 24, 2017 kirstenbeverlyLeave a comment

I was thinking about summer and my take on an ideal color palette for a summer wedding! Although Greenery was announced as the Pantone Color of the Year, I prefer a lighter and brighter shade of green, Kelly Green. Perfect to pair with other light and bright colors such as cream, rose, and gold, this shade is perfectly accented by darker shades such as imperial blue and aubergine.

Middleburg Hunt Point to Point

May 6, 2017January 29, 2018 kirstenbeverlyLeave a comment

A few years ago, a dear friend of mine invited me down to hunt country in Middleburg, VA for the annual spring race and of course, I was hooked. A sunny day for pretty dresses, hats, socializing while sipping on Veuve Clicquot, and watching beautiful horses and their riders speed across a race course, I couldn’t think of a better way to spend a weekend. Since that first year, I’ve tried to make each outfit better than the last. This year I had two dresses as options thanks to the new collaboration between Victoria Beckham and Target–you can find the full line here. Unable to decide between the two, I put them on Instagram and asked my followers to choose!

The likes came rolling in and the next morning, it was decided–I was to wear the black and white seventies number.

Although pink is a much loved color for spring, I found this ensemble to be much more to my liking and taste as it was memorable and allowed me to perfectly pair it with a black netted fascinator, over the top cat-eyes shades, and a perfect red lip!

Everything is popping up with bows!

And I couldn’t be more excited. Trends will go as fast as they come, but I’m determined to ride this wave out till the newest fad reaches our shores. I’d like to take a moment to thank the universe that flower crowns seem to have found their exit, I never caught on to the flower child idea. The bridal spring designs for 2018 brought us many things that French and elegant fashions have praised for years. From skirts resembling that of the much beloved Grace Kelly’s own bridal gown to silhouettes that bring to mind Audrey Hepburn in all of her forms, with sprinkles of bows, pearls, and black velvet in between, here are just some of the gorgeous gowns to grace the catwalks this year!
