A Wedding for Your Wednesday: Pink Napa Valley

After planning my own wedding for almost two years and blogging about weddings for even longer, I was on wedding overload for a while there. When I first got engaged, I just couldn't get enough, but by the time ours came around, every event had started to look the same. But now that I have a few family and friends' weddings and engagements coming up in the next year, I'm just giddy over all the possibilities: not only for the weddings, but for the showers, parties, and rehearsal dinners! How I've missed the flowers, the linens, the food, the dreamy photos! My wedding may be behind me, but I'm starting to realize that my passion for entertaining has barely begun! So from now on, Wednesdays on the blog will showcase some of my favorite entertaining and event planning inspiration! I'm opening up the archives of all I've saved over the years, and I hope that some of you are as excited about it as I am! Today's wedding was held at Beaulieu Garden in beautiful Napa Valley, California. Anyone who remembers my wedding  and is aware of my love for pink flowers won't be surprised that I'm head over heels for this one, recently featured on Style Me Pretty:

The Coveted Celine Luggage Tote

I thought I'd brighten your Monday once again (and mine too) with a little bit of handbag eye candy. There are very few It bags that have had me jumping on the bandwagon, but if there's ever been one, it's the Celine Luggage tote. What do I love about this bag? Well, the elegant lines, the lusciously thick leather, the structured shape, and the lack of embellishment... to start with!

A few weeks ago there were a few for sale on Bluefly, and I was beyond tempted to go for it, but unfortunately the timing just wasn't right for my bank account. For now, I'll go on enjoying the bag vicariously through one of my very favorite style icons, Bee of Atlantic-Pacific:

What's your take on the Celine Luggage tote? Love it, or hate it?

What It bag are you willing to jump on the bandwagon for?
