ALSO – EXCITING NEWS!… There is a brand new project about to launch. The Bloggers Wardrobe. I was asked to compete for one of the final spots in this network of the best fashion bloggers across the globe! Me?! Really??? I think this is an opportunity I can’t pass up. So the competition requirement is to tell you briefly why I should be chosen to be a part of this project:

The door is wide open….

…To promote the grace and poise born in the era of Audrey, and the beauty of femininity through fashion.

My best friends wedding in NYC

July 27, 2011

One of my best friends got married in NYC over memorial day weekend. My husband, baby, and I flew up to be a part of the wedding festivities. It was hands down one of the most fun weddings I have ever been to! Beautiful church and vows, incredible reception view, photo booth, killer playlist on the dance floor, mouth watering appetizers, and the best company you could ask for. Here’s a recap:

Even taking photos was a blast. She had an awesome photographer who wasn’t afraid to try new things on the fly and be spontaneous. For all you Callifornia based readers (he also travels!) you are in luck- he is based in the OC! His work is stunning.

Shop Feature: baum-kuchen

You know I love a good shop find! I was so thankful when Wakako of baum-kuchen shared her beautiful shop with me. Through her experience in design, she curates a unique and oh so lovely set of items in the baum-kuchen shop. You can get a more in depth look behind the scenes of each item on her blog 🙂 Enjoy!

Happy Weekend! Sharing today some of the neon pink faves I have found across the web! I used to NEVER wear pink, but in the last few years, certain hues have grown on me, and this is one of them:)

What a WHIRLWIND this past week has been. I am so physically and emotionally drained. It was so difficult to say goodbyes, and pack up our life. I am so happy to have arrived to GA safely though with my little family. That is all that matters. However, my husband and I swear we will never move again!… even though its bound to happen since we are renting a home, until we decide where we want to settle. I was seriously tempted to leave everything I own behind and live a simpler life. I have resolved to do so in some ways! 🙂

I have so much of you all to catch up with! I will be back in full swing soon, but for now, enjoy this summer post! <3
