At Elizabeth Messina's Workshop last month, I had the pleasure of meeting Andrea Langer, an amazig photographer for husband and wife photography company, Tag7. They are currently based in Switzerland, and have stunning photos. Andrea is one of the sweetest and loveliest ladies around. She is great to work! In addition to her raw talent, she is soooo stylish. I have to pay attention to fashion, and I definitely noticed her awesome outfits all week (not to mention she has hair commercial quality gorgeous long locks). I just cannot gush enough about her. Be sure to visit their blog HERE and say "hello!"
Recently, she posted some amazing photos of model, Gina Moore wearing a Twigs & Honey head piece and Elizabeth Dye shrug (that's my shrug!). Isn't Gina gorgeous, by the way??
Thank you, Andrea!!

Can't. Stop. Working!
I just had a lovely time chatting the evening away with some amazing Portland area bloggers yesterday and also on a project with this amazing photographer and this amazing stylist (there are other suprises in terms of the people involved, but I'm keeping it a secret until it's finished!).
Long story short, I've been a very bad blogger and I am so sorry for the dribble of posts for the last few weeks. I just feel guilty posting even if I have a minute! I promise to have some surprises over the next few weeks for you! Thank you so much for hanging in there with me!!
DK Designs :: beautiful hydrangeas
Posted on | Tuesday, June 8, 2010 | 4 Comments
I just can't get enough of Diane's handmade clay flowers. Her business, DK Designs, is just lovely. I actually remember being home sick when I was working full time AND starting Twigs & Honey... I was watching the Martha Stewart Show and saw Diane's work (she instructed Martha!). Her flowers look sooo real. Recently, I asked her if she might be able to make me a set of her beautiful hydrangea flowers but for my hair because I wanted to wear them in France. She was sooooo sweet and made me two sets AND a gorgeous arrangement (photos to come!). Long story short, she has listed these lovely hair hydrangeas in her Etsy shop. You have to get a set!! They are the ones you see me wearing in our France photos. Get your own set HERE, HERE, HERE, or HERE.

Summer, where art thou?
In Oregon, I feel like you have 2 seasons. 1. Winter, which is about 9 months long; 2. Summer, which is that small other window if you're lucky. I'm really bummed that we didn't have a spring this year. Anyone else in Oregon agree? Maybe I missed it while in France (France had amazing weather by the way!), but it was way too wet and cold this winter/spring for my liking. Anyhow, the past is in the past and I'm looking ahead for SUN! Specifically, I've been trying to see if June 18th will be a sunny day. I feel like I'm planning our wedding again. For the wedding, I checked the weather every single day because we had an outdoor wedding late summer with ZERO back-up plan. haha! Anyhow, good things happening on June 18th that I'll share with everyone soon, but as for now, the farthest out I can see in terms of the forecast is June 17th via weather.com:
Looking good, Thursday! Tomorrow, I'll be able to see Friday. Must be patient. The funny thing is, I should know better than to rely on forecasts so far out (fun fact: I used to study climatology/weather). Too many variables!
Woah Vera Wang, Woah!

I LOVE Vera Wang anything.
I love all her designs. I love her bridal AND bridesmaid dresses AND everyday wear.
I love the little empire she has created.
I love her personal simplistic style.
I love that she's successfull AND a mother.
I love how she creates her own path.
I really LOVE her 2011 dresses:
Just when you think she's outdone herself, she does it again.
Vera Wang... you rock.

I am in love with Kate MacPherson's work. Can't get enough. She came to Elizabeth Messina's Workshop in France all the way from New Zealand! So glad she did because her work is stunning and she is sooooooo sweet and easy to work with. I adore this photo she took of Gina:
