First Photos from Kim Kardashian's Wedding

How are you? I hope you all had great weekends! I know I've not been a great blogger lately, but life has kind of taken over. Just back into town from a much needed vacay and was catching up on the who-what-wear of Kim Kardashian's wedding, which took place this weekend.

Kim wore (three) Vera Wang dresses when marrying Kris Humphries in a to-be-televised wedding that included an edict that all guests don black and white. You can click here for a wedding sneak peek, which shoes Bruce Jenner walking Kim down the aisle in a strapless Wang. The bride is wearing a diamond headpiece and some really eye popping earrings. (She kind of reminded me of the Lisa in Coming to America for some reason, I think it's the hair/headpiece/earrings combo).

As for the cake? About six feet tall, black and white, and ringing in at a cost of $20,000. The best part? Guests were served from another cake. So, yeah, a big, brash, over the top wedding from a Kardashian. Not exactly surprising.

Above is a look at Kim's reception party dress.

Pippa Middleton Wears Issa's 'Lucky' Dress

The Duchess of Cambridge's sister was seen supporting her boyfriend at a cricket game in the same Issa dress that Kate wore when shopping in London pre-tour. Hard to tell if the dress is actually the same one, but the style definitely is! Photo via The Daily Mail.

Kate Moss' Wedding Photos by Mario Testino for Vogue

Mario Testino is my absolute fave celebrity photographer. Somehow, through skill and some Photoshop, he makes his subjects look relaxed, glowing and like their very best selves. Like Kate Moss' wedding pics, shot by Testino for Vogue. She looks amazing and in that first photo her dress looks like a dream. via The Daily Mail

Book of the Week: Spellbound

What's a girl to do when meeting The One means she's cursed to die a horrible death? Indeed. This is the quandry that faces teenager Emma Conner as she starts over at a posh NYC boarding school. Emma's had a hard time of it and moving in with her wealthy aunt seems like a fresh start, even if she finds herself having to navigate the jungle that is Vincent Academy.

Emma seems on track for starting over until she lays eyes on Brendan Salinger, a wonderfully written teen heartthrob hero in my opinion. Brendan is dark, noble, mysterious, and, well, plain hot. Not surprisingly Emma finds she can't resist him, perhaps a bit more surprising is the fact that Brendan seems interested in Emma. At first. Then he starts running hot and cold--the forte of teen boys everywhere.

While all this normal teen stuff is going on Emma is also dealing with other troubling events--like weird dreams and street lamps exploding above her head. These supernatural events and a mysterious locket eventually send Emma and her friend Angelique on a search for their truth, one that directly impacts Emma's would-be relationship with Brendan.

Sure, Spellbound's subject matter isn't exactly new. Past lives, fated lovers, we've seen it all before, but Cara Lynn Shultz's writing was snappy and entertaining. Plus I found both Emma and Brendan rather enjoyable. A nice, light read if you like a little bit of supernatural (no vampires or werewolves, mind you) in your romance.

Nature Inspired Wall Art

I think most of us have seen this image (or similar ones) of butterfly

wall art for bedrooms. Fun and whimsical it's an interesting

solution for what to do with all the above-bed space.

Serena van der Woodsen also signed on to the trend in her new

bedroom in the Waldorf apartment on Gossip Girl.

And now you can too.

Wallflower, $25 for 25

Wallflutter, $25 for 20

I came across these wall decorations from Urban Barn and,

while not butterflies, they'll certainly do the trick if you're

looking to get the same look in your bedroom.

Pretty Little Liars 'Save the Date' Episode and Fashion Recap

Aria wore some dramatic jewelry again this week, sporting a unique stone necklace and another pair of feather earrings. The girls were hot on the trail of the truth while A seemed determined to bring them down one by one. Poor Emily, getting all drugged and everything. And then the revelation that what really caused Alison's death was being buried alive! Ick. And I definitely felt bad for Hanna's mom (who will always be Sydney from Melrose to me), but she really should have known better.
