Like most girls, I go weak in the knees at the sight of a sparkly stone. I really love them all, but I'm going to play favorites today, and admit that I'm particularly partial to antique jewels and vintage engagement rings.

Fall Transition Color Palette – Elegant Gray and Green
Pantone just released their Spring 2012 Fashion report, and in it were the colors Alloy, Tender Shoots, and Tidal Foam - reminded me of a gorgeous photo by Eric Uys, and the lovely color palette it contains that seems to be a perfect transition from summer to fall. Throw in one of my all-time favorite Vera Wang gowns, some pretty earings I just received for my birthday (amazing in person!), one of the most elegant flowers, white delphinium, and you've got the perfect fall inspiration!
