Happily Ever After

The new Nonpareil went live yesterday and never have we seen such a sweet treat as in the beauty of this editorial! Our very own Anne Sage, stylist extraordinaire and blogging sensation at The City Sage, conceptualized, produced, and styled this gracious wedding.

Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice was the inspiration behind Anne's vision, where she created a sensibility of romance and elegance, with a touch of whimsy.

Teacups and hairpieces like the ones of Austen's time are perfectly suited for today. After all, style is timeless because it always rings true.

A folding screen covered in beautiful butterfly wallpaper makes a sophisticated alternative to the usual cloth backdrop.

Flowers that ring with elegance and effervescence, capture a sense romance and classic beauty.

Head over and give it a peruse, there's more beautiful images and tips to be had!

Eye on Style: Lili Diallo

I'm completely smitten by the work of Lili Diallo, set designer and prop stylist extraordinaire. She gets to do the fun stuff - pretty up a space before it's photographed. How much would I love that job? LOTS! 

And aren't these hanging pendants simply fantastic? Matched with the checkered tablecloth in the first, I love it for its humorous mix of country traditional and modern futuristic. What a fun combination! The different graphics and geometric in the second one is what grabs my attention next. It'd be so easy to get lost in all those shapes and patterns, but Lili manages to keep it in line with a simple color scheme that ties it all together: the always lovely blue and white.

It's no wonder she used to be a stylist for Domino (back when there was a Domino). That magazine seemed to do everything best!
