For those of you planning a wedding, or who just love to have great ideas in your back pocket for when the time comes, you'll love The Brides Guide, and informative blog by Darcy Miller, editor-in-chief of Martha Stewart Weddings.

Towards the end of 2008 I began to explore my "inner hippie". It all started with a gorgeous printed peasant top with tassels from Bebe. Now I've moved on to patchwork finds from Urban Outfitters - a deconstructed lace inset top and a colorful mini. I love them all...and you should too!

Pics of my Urban Outfitters finds are below. Find your own!

A few months ago, I did an Artist of the Week feature on Ernie Barnes. Sadly, Ernie passed in April at the age of 70.
