Weekend links are coming up in a sec, but first a sneak peek from Flutter magazine…

Stylist Kelly Oshiro explains a bit about the shoot: “Kim from Flutter Mag approached me about doing a 12 look series on bridal style inspired by the signs of the Zodiac. For each sign, I looked to famous celebrities to get a sense of that sign’s style as well as researching the various characteristics of each sign. For Gemini, I looked to the most famous Gemini of them all, Marilyn Monroe. I choose a figure hugging mermaid gown and paired it with a colorful orange and yellow bouquet I arranged (Gemini apparently love color). Gemini are also playful so we used BHLDN’s Seaspray veil and had some fun with the wind that day in the tower at Sunstone Villa. For hair and makeup, we went with a 60′s bouffant, dark merlot lips and vintage earrings. I loved how this look came out!”
