Lush-ious

Eidia Lush, one of the fantastic designers at Winter on the Runway, has launched its Couture collection of shoes!

We were very happy to have them contribute to the show, and their designs definitely helped give the runway a bit of flair! I was surprised by the options and different types of styles that could be made, as well as the fact that these are not too expensive! Yay for that!

Check out their website to find out more about this couture collection, OR to create a style of your very own!



I am seriously contemplating using either of the below designs for my bridesmaids in my wedding. I LOVE the peacock one-so simple yet so different. The one below that will definitely add some flair to the Bridesmaids outfits.

For a chance to win 10% off this collection, leave a comment below and one lucky winner to get a discount!

Guess who is tying the knot!

My soon to be Brother-in-Law Eric and finance Caitlin are getting married in Carmel in January. Not to mention my BFF/Maid of Honor/soon to be Sister-in-Law getting married in Feb! Following them are a few of my close friends! Yep-2010 is going ot be an exciting year.

This brings me to my next point, WHERE should I have my wedding??? Carmel, Monterey, Napa, Los Gatos and Saratoga are definitely on my list of places to check out! Here are some spots in Carmel that I found and really loved!







Anyone have any recommendations in Northern California??


I'm very excited because Abby from Style Me Pretty said she would give me her recommendations for incredible wedding venues!! YAY! So next week I will show some of the besties!

PS: Pretty soon I will have my wedding blog all set up so I can blog up a storm about my fantastic and ridiculous wedding plans! Until then, I hope you guys enjoy all this talk about weddings!

So dear to me






So Dear. So Simple. So Chic.

My Dear Thing is the creator of these beautiful pieces!

PS: Yesterday we were pleasantly surprised with a letter from someone we hadn't heard from in quite a bit. It was a congratulations regarding our engagement- and of course the question came up, When will the children come??? And the answer: roughly in February 2012 (I am quite the planner!).

Thanks for the letter and here is to hoping that all our friends and family will be present to celebrate our wedding together! Keep those lovely letters coming.

Winter on the Runway, the runway show we had on Saturday, was extremely successful! The feedback was great, the show was beautiful and the place was packed! Pictures and video will be coming shortly! Thanks to everyone who attended and contributed to the show! I was amazed at the number of people ready and willing to help!

I will be showing the highlights of each designer as well as the sponsors AND some giveaways I still have left. Those things will unfold as the week goes on and I attempt to get everything organized and working again!

In the meantime though, I am having a SALE! With Christmas just around the corner, these items are actually quite marked down!

I will be adding more and more throughout the day and week. Please e-mail me with any questions. info@aspiringcouture.com

It's my birthday!!!

Getting word from a lot of the designers that items will be on sale, AND offered as Giveaways at the show! So make sure you get your tickets today, so you can be part of all the excitement!

Winter on the Runway is only 5 days away!!! Find out more, and purchase your tickets on our website. If you want VIP seating, buy soon-we are practically sold out!





All of these pieces are hand-sculpted and so unique. The thing I love about her shop is that she does more than just her one type of jewelry. She has so many completely different styles on her shop. Check out Glass Goddess Jewelry's Etsy ship for more unique pieces!

My favorite color is Peach







I love these simple designs by Roger and Peach. I like when a dress can act as both a holiday party dress and a cute summer dress. These definitely provide those and a lot more options, which makes for a cheaper wardrobe change!

I'm really looking forward to their next collections! Can't wait to see what else they do!
