Wedding Dress Inspiration

Yesterday Mama, MOH and I attended my 2nd dress fitting. They were still able to button me into it, oh the relief! It was also Bustle 101. You won't be able to see it, but the buttons have to be color coded because there are so many and so many layers!
Without giving it all away, I will admit that I did add a little something extra . . .

Perhaps I was channeling something like these famous dresses:

This is Melanie Hamilton of Gone With the Wind, or rather a doll of her. This was the dress she wore to the Wilkes barbeque. I immediately thought of the skirt on this dress when I saw my wedding dress . . .

I was feeling a little bit like this (Princess Diana), skirt-wise, as I paraded around the floor at Kim's Tailoring.

I just can't wait for you all to see :)

A Wild Week

I am not usually a crazy hockey fan, but when offered tickets to a Wild game I'll go. Last week I was at three games. What a WILD week!



My advice when you sit in the suites, be patient. The dessert cart will come to you, it goes door to door. You don't have to try to track it down like I did :)


Anybody have a favorite sport that they like to attend? Hopefully you actually watch the games (unlike me who is more concerned with her Diet Coke and where are the chocolate covered strawberries?!).

Valentine's Day decor part II

Good afternoon!

I finally got creative and figured out what to do with the two gold picture frames hanging in our entry way.


I carried the paper heart theme into the frames and hung them from cute (preppy!) pink polka dot ribbon. Here is a picture of both:

Looking down the entry way:


Of course I had to make sure my apothecary jar matched

So I made up this little vignette. Isn't my little monkey cute?! His heart says "Wild About You". I got it as a Valentine's Day present from J I forget how long ago :)

Here is the whole "scene":

Complete with the banner, and you can see the frames in the mirror :)

If anybody would like to share how they decorate for Valentine's Day I would love to see it!
