I Just Got Back From a Destination Wedding, and This Is the Outfit I Wore

Last month we attended a black-tie destination wedding in Saint Barthelemy, so I searched to strike the perfect balance between elegance and comfort.

Ultimately, I opted for a floor-length one-shoulder gown with feathered trim from Taller Marmo. I wanted to focus on a dress that was elegant and sophisticated, with a touch of old Hollywood glamour. Taller Marmo is known for its lighter-than-air satin kaftans and asymmetric gowns that ripple with fringes, ostrich feathers, and gorgeous colors.

To complement the beachy and sophisticated vibe, my accessories from Cult Gaia, including a bag, sunglasses, and hair clips (similar) were perfect for the celebration; simple, sleek, and elegant with the pearl touches.

Eres is always a destination favorite with its beautiful colors and classic styles. This black one-piece is also super supportive, and I love the asymmetrical one-shoulder touch featuring a center-front cutout and twist detailing; plus, the strap can be worn on either shoulder to allow for a customizable fit.

Here is a new brand that I’m excited to share with you; this jumper is so comfortable and also works as a bathing suit cover-up. My caftan is over ten years old; I continue adding caftans to my closet; they never go out of style!

Natalie Martin's pieces are stylish and the easiest to pack. Just roll them up, and you are set for a week of feeling chic and comfortable. (especially when it’s hot out) Most of her pieces can be dressed up or down; she's a great resource if you’re packing for carry-on only. Bag / Sandals / Necklace

My husband wore David August along with all the other men; you can read more about his clothing brand here. Loved the simplicity of this small bag, and it’s perfect for carrying just the essentials.

Sonja wore Monique Lhuillier

Cheers to the guy who makes the coolest fancy pants I know. On the night before the wedding, David designed pants that were made for all the men, and it set the tone, I must say. All the guys looked fantastic!

Congratulations to our dear friends, Sonja and David; we had the most incredible time celebrating your wedding day and meeting your family and friends!

The FootCloud Gel Cushions - Chrysmela (earring saver)

You can never go wrong with a pair of Aminas. I adore the rhinestones on these strappy sandals, and the only way I survived dancing the night away, The FootCloud Gel Cushions, saved my feet. Also, all my earrings are now replaced with Chrysmela - the most secure, lock-and-unlock earring back on the market, and that’s a fact!!

Happy Mother's Day 2023 - Have A Beautiful Day!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the awesome moms around the globe! I love this day so much; it's a day to show appreciation for all our mothers have done for us, to let them know how much we love and value them, and to remember, “Life Doesn’t Come With a Manual; it Comes With a Mother….”

May we celebrate this day with gratitude and grace.

stroll down memory lane - London, 2010

This is one of my all-time favorite photos of Luca and me (who is now 20) from one of our vacations in London after leaving the park, and London has the best parks; Derek took this photo on our way back to the hotel. Luca was and still is an excellent traveler, probably the best traveler ever… Looking back at photos literally melts my heart; I am thankful to be Luca’s mom. It’s been a joy I could have never imagined.

There are many ways to celebrate Mother's Day, personally I loveeee flowers so when I had the chance to experience this DIY from Bouquet Box I thought what a meaningful and rewarding gesture. If you’re not able to be with your mom, maybe you could Facetime the arranging together.

Each Bouquet Box arrives with a precise number of curated fresh-from-the-farm flowers. A floral #diy that feels so nice!

Delivered right to your door complete with beautiful fresh flowers and a step-by-step card on arranging your blooms.

If you live far away from your mother, you can still celebrate Mother's Day jewelry feast from Chrysmela, so she will never lose an earring again! That’s a fact; these are a must-have if you don’t have any! Then wrap her up in silk with this beautiful robe or yourself!

From Zahava - Choose your special date and stone for a special heirloom calendar pendant - Derek & Luca gave his grandmothers and me this calendar pendant last Christmas. Perfectly put in this “mama” necklace from Sydney Evan (this is where my grateful necklace is from)

My chain on the right is from Petra. I’ve added my meaningful charms so I can wear them all together. My Opal charm is from Anne Sisteron - It is said that precious opal, with its display of fire, can spark creativity; I love that!

Put them all together for a collage of calm & memories. Pictured here - palm - opal - evil eye - butterfly - 222

In the United States, Mother's Day was officially established as a national holiday in 1914, thanks in large part to the efforts of Anna Jarvis.

Thank you to my mom and my grandmother’s who raised me like a “rockstar” I love you…I am grateful for all you taught me.
