Jane Austen Appeal
Whether we call her Emma, Elizabeth Bennet, or Miss Dashwood, Taylor Crawford looks like she stepped out of a modern adaptation of any Jane Austen novel. Her sheer kimono with embroidered back, white cami top and jeans are from Ronne's on Market Street. She wears jewelry from Joseph Jewelers, including morganite dangle earrings with a diamond embellished rose gold setting, an elegant cameo ring, and a cabochon cut rose quartz brooch necklace and ring set from their estate collection.

The Great Gatsby
Just mentioning "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald conjures up a very specific time and vibe.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Nobody was late to this afternoon tea party styled in the fashion of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll. While Amy Certain and Allen Medeiros are picture perfect in attire from Planters Exchange, a certain cat insisted on taking center stage. Making the party extra festive was the fabulous cake by Sweet T's Cakes and the addition of flowers from A Courtyard Florist.
