And its a....

So, we found out what we're having...in case that's too convoluted, its a girl!!  My readers will know that this was probably inevitable for me...at least for my first. I know this is a cliche, but I really wouldn't have cared either way (something about overalls on a boy makes my heart melt).  Nonetheless, I believe God gives you what God gives you for a reason and I graciously accept!  I hope she loves ballet as much as I do.Here's looking to frilly, girly, pink and sparkly things everywhere :)

Stunning

Kate, the wedding and everything about it was absolutely gorgeous!  Its a fairytale I wholeheartedly take part in becuase, lets be honest, I wish I was a princess :)

Loving this picture...but enjoying, perhaps even more, the wee one at the bottom left who really isn't having any more of the noise from the crowd...lol!

Have a fabulous day!

Don't leave Dior behind

Today, marks Paris Fashion Week's Dior show.  Here's what I think; just because some fool opened his mouth and said something stupid doesn't mean that over six decades of beauty and long-lived history of this fashion house should be forgotten. John Galliano will be reprimanded for what he said and even ousted from the house...the clothes and iconic name and fashion will live on:

More pretty, please

I just got our first wedding invite and immediately I started thinking about what I would wear...naturally!  I love Marchesa and looked to her new Resort 2011 collection for inspiration:

V-Day is Coming!!!

I "love" Valentine's Day and I always have since I was a kid.  The reasons? Lots of love {to anyone in your life not just a "lover"}, hearts, pink, red, chocolate and romance {your lover, sometimes anyone ;)}. Here are some V-Day decor inspirations from Hostess With the Mostess Blog:

Pink and Sparkles, my loves!

Smell some Sparkle

I've seen this idea with bridal bouquets before and I never get sick of it obviously, because of the sparkle.  The nice thing about this is that you can find some beautiful silk flowers and do it yourself or as a gift for a special family member/friend.  Also, no drying involved, these will definitely last a lifetime.
