KNOT & POP: NEON & OMBRE WEDDING INSPIRATION SHOOT

I’m so excited to introduce you all to Knot and Pop!

Knot and Pop = Claire and Susie, a dynamic duo of creative UK wedding and event planners and stylists with a refreshing, imaginative and bespoke approach to all things wedding.

The thing I love most about Knot and Pop is their focus on creating weddings that are ‘wholly reflexive of their couples’ lives, loves and relationships’. Plus they take the term ‘chic and unique’ to a whole new level!

Just take a peek at their latest wedding inspiration shoot in all it’s ombre, dip dyed, neon glory.view more

Dear readers,

Your Monday is about to get a little bit weird and a whole lot lovelier thanks to Adrienne and Hunter’s rustic ranch wedding!

Things to watch out for include a beautiful bride in a sparkly, be-sequined wedding dress, bright pops of blue and orange, real oranges wrapped in ribbon and placed ontop of burlap runners, DIY flowers and mixed metallic tablescapes.

The whole day was a love filled celebration of mutual weirdness captured beautifully by Cory Kendra Photography.view more

DAILY RECORD: Den Sorte Skole

It won’t be a release show per se, but there will be plenty of fanfare when NYMPHplays at Strange Matter on Wednesday, June 26. The band is releasing a new full-length album, New Millennium Prayer, one day earlier, and if the recording is any indication, I’d expect they’ll be celebrating on Wednesday by letting loose a wildly colorful, seven-piece explosion of creative energy and musical freedom.view more

It's been some time since the idea of an artist sampling another's work could be considered shocking or transgressive, either in the positive sense of an artful reappropriation of extant work (Negativland, DJ Shadow) or in the inverse, Cocktail Dresses that of popular musicians swiping large chunks of older material in order to lend their own music a context that it would otherwise lack (too many examples exist to choose from, but Jimmy Page by way of Sean Combs or the legion of gospel singers that acted as window-dressing for some of Moby's better selling work come easily to mind). Same goes for the sort of Western artists who jet-set around the world in an attempt to search for the next big Third World thing, whether that's the work of the well-intentioned (Sublime Frequencies or Mississippi Records) or that of a certain brand of cultural conquistador (Diplo). It's all been done, and it's been done a hell of a lot.view more

Almost out of your Justin Bieber Girlfriend perfume? You're in luck: One Direction just announced a fragrance, One Moment, slated for release later this year.

"It's been a long and exciting process, and we're really proud to have made a One Direction fragrance," Harry Styles said of the fragrance that features a "vibrant and playful fruity floral" scent made of pink grapefruit, wild berries, red currant, jasmine, freesia, musk and patchouli.

"I've tested it on my family and they love it — and we can't wait to show it to our fans across the world," Niall Horan added.

The scent — housed in a feminine pink bottle — will set 1D fans back $20 to $60. Oh, and be sure to set aside some cash for the body lotion and shower gel.

Perfume not really your thing? Don't worry, One Direction is also hopping on the celebrity nail polish bandwagon later this summer. The five-polish collection — with each hue named for a band member — is part of the group's anti-bullying partnership with Office Depot.

The "1D+OD LIVE.LOVE.MOVE Together Against Bullying" campaign is a total throwback to the '90s with notebooks, pens, stickers and collectibles all featuring photos of the five British boy-banders. The best part? The products will all be priced under $10, with a part of the proceeds going to "educational campaigns in schools across the country."

Why bullying? It's a real issue that affects the fans — and the band. Liam Payne once opened up toSeventeen about his experience being bullied at school.

"I was bullied by a few people who were much older than me," he said. "So I went to camp to learn how to box. I was 12 and my coach was 24. It gave me confidence to know that if I could fight him, I could stand up to anyone."

Kristin Cavallari is now officially off the market. The Hills star and her NFL star husband, Jay Cutler,exchanged vows at the Davidson County Clerk's office in Nashville, Tennessee, on Friday.

"Im officially Kristin Elizabeth Cutler!!!!!" she tweeted after the event, along with an Instagram photo of her diamond wedding band atop Cutler's all-black ring.

Cavallari will likely pair that diamond band with her huge 5.2-carat engagement ring. That's a lot of bling on one finger!

The courthouse nuptials came just days after the mom of baby Camden Jack hosted her bridal shower. The bride-to-be — outfitted in a Donna Mizani dress and her own shoes and accessories — had a fabulous time at the Ciroc vodka–sponsored fete at West Hollywood's London Hotel.

As for the "real" celebration? Cavallari has kept most things a secret, but it will reportedly take place in Nashville this weekend.

"It's going to be about 150 people, so not huge," theLaguna Beach star told US Weekly earlier this spring. "I was never the girl who dreamt about my wedding or any of that stuff, but the wedding how we're planning is exactly what I wanted. I think it's going to be perfect for what we're doing."

As for the dress? We have to wonder if it'll feature her favorite material for spring and summer: leather.

"I am loving leather," Cavallari told SheKnows earlier this year. "It's a fun time of year because now you can start wearing spring stuff and incorporating fun colors."
