fairy tale wedding

And of course, speaking of Kate and weddings, I couldn't go today without mentioning The Royal Wedding and "The Dress Seen Around The World" now could I?

I thought Kate Middleton looked absolutely breathtaking in her Alexander McQueen dress. The long sleeves and the lace is so elegant.


Those Middleton genes... Sister, Pippa, looked gorgeous as well.


I forgot to set my alarm to watch the wedding live but I was able to catch all the coverage after work. What girl isn't a sucker for the marriage of a Prince and Princess? 

mr. & mrs.


My friend, Kate, finally posted pictures from the wedding that I assisted her with. Everything about that day was perfect from the weather to the cute details. How beautiful are the photos?

I like you necklace


How cute is this In God We Trust necklace? For a long time, before my boyfriend and I said "I love you" to each other, we would always say, "I like you... alot." I was always worried that I would slip and say those 3 words first, before he was ready to hear it. If he gave me this necklace I think I would have laughed.

bridesmaid dress


I was thinking this dress from H&M's Conscious Collection would make a perfect bridesmaid dress. What do you guys think? I just love the scalloped hem. Also, it's made from recycled polyester and the $49.95 price tag doesn't hurt either!

Easter attire


I brought my camera on Easter with the intention of documenting the entire day and this photo of our shoes was all I took before I heard the wonderful words, "Dinner's ready!" Ah well. Dinner was well worth it. 

PS. It was the first time I wore these shoes and they are just as comfy as they look (as far as heels go).

nieces and nephews



My heart just swelled when I saw these photos of my niece and nephew this morning. I just love their greenish gray eyes. Aren't they just precious? I'm such a proud Auntie.

braided top bun


Lately, I've needed to find a solution to my super long hair that's in need of a cut. (I just haven't the time or the money). I first spotted the braided top bun here and had decided to try it out. Mine isn't as on top of my head as the model's, and my hair is really thin so the braid gets pretty small towards the end, but I still like the result. It brings me back to my ballerina days. Sigh.
