About

Dear Reader,

Hello there! My name Stephanie Poli.

Welcome to my blog... 

The Story of
Love & Lace

What began as an outlet to plan my wedding (check out the archives here) has evolved into a place for me to discuss fashion, design, crafty-goodness, showcase our ever-evolving home and share all things I find lovely.

My husband & I live in south Orange County, California. My mister is a little blog shy, but he has a cameo every now and again. After purchasing our first house in the summer of 2009, I've been busy remodeling, decorating, second-guessing every thing, painting walls black and other design decisions deemed "odd" by traditional standards.

Work & stuff

After working in broadcast television advertising for 6 years, I ventured out on my own doing video editing, graphic design and script writing. In August 2011 I launched a new blog, The Darling Dapper Society along with the opening of my etsy shop, Darling Loves Dapper, an assorted collection of handcrafted goods.

A few of my favorite things...

*typography

*black & white

*ghostlore
*halloween
*joss whedon
*zooey deschanel

*fashion

*ladies who brunch

*modern + vintage

*bookstores

I love conversing with readers, so don't be shy - I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks for stopping by! - kisses, Stephanie
