Thoughts? This is a really good shipment!!!

Song of the day
Grand National, great discovery. Love this song, especially on this incessantly rainy Friday.
SNL Faves
SNL can be so hit or miss but when it’s on…IT’S ON. I’m partial to the digital shorts, Bill Hader (esp Dateline), What Up With That? and anything with Justin Timberlake.

Weekend Nostalgia
My mind is taking me to New Orleans today to fete with the festers at Jazzfest. Alas, I remain in Arkansas. In store for me this weekend? Cabin on the Buffalo river tonight and shrimp/crawfish boil tomorrow. So…I have to admit those are pretty good weekend plans.
I stumbled onto this photographer, Jose Villa’s blog today. Just look at this gorgeous “Honeymoon in New Orleans” – ahhh I die.
This is where I’ll actually be – Buffalo River
Fayetteville Farmer’s Market
PS: Here’s a peek at my fat little puppy. We caught her with her paws (literally) in the cookie jar, gorging on her cousin Dwight’s – the mastiff- food. Below is the aftermath.
Happy Friday!
Bridal Porn – Fall 10 shows
OMG. The Fall 10 bridal shows have taken place and thanks to NYmag, they are very accessible. The great thing is, I have a girlfriend (McCall) who just got engaged, so I don’t have to feel quite as silly pouring over the details of wedding dress after dress…I cannot wait to see Monique Lhuillier but alas she has not shown yet. Here are my faves so far…
I loved the use of floral hair accessories in the Douglas Hannant show. The white makeup…not so much.
I always enjoy seeing the looks from Badgely Mischka, I especially love that they’re showing back!
Thoroughly loved Reem Acra.
Definitely my favorite…Oscar De La Renta tinged on the Spanish-Virgin-Mary-ish but a few of the dresses were SO FREAKING GORGEOUS! Loved a bunch of them – didn’t love the white hose though.
Junko Yoshioka was feminine and lovely
Always a favorite, Vera Wang was elegant but slightly safe.
Carolina Herrera didn’t blow my socks off. This was the only one I liked below.
So sweet and different from Jenny Packham
Loving from Elizabeth Fillmore but so wish I could see the backs!
Alright but didn’t quite captivate me (Click designer to see for yourself): Anne Bowen, Nicole Miller, St. Pucchi
Love this look
Ginnifer Goodwin via NYP. Casual, cute, comfy, chic…love it!
Bliss
The other day I was looking at the lovely blog Apartment34. While Erin, the owner of the blog, is off getting hitched she asked some of her favorite bloggers to share the things that bring them joy. Sometimes it’s really good to look at your life and recognize the things that truly bliss you out.
Here mine goes! (In no particular order)
Warm Weather
Sun-drenched afternoons, midnight swims, baseball games, picnics, sundresses. This girl loves summer.
Girlfriends
My girlfriends mean everything to me.
Food
Food and the dining experience. Long conversations over dessert and wine. Meals that make you appreciate being alive. Trying a new recipe and knocking it out of the park. Fresh fruit. I believe in eating for sustenance of the soul.
Being a girl
Makeup. Tulle. Smoky Eyes. Sky-high heels. Baubles and bangles and berets and belts. Hair -curly or teased or straight or up. I love being a girl because of all the wonderful things a girl can be.
Reading/Learning
Becoming more aware of the world through the words of those capable of expressing amazing, insightful things.
Everyday Luxuries

Fresh flowers, laughs, puppies…
Winding down

Crawling into a clean bed, lounging on a rainy afternoon, sleeping in, the few moments before you drift off to sleep…
Adventure
I’m talking travel, music festivals, float trips, a new thrift shop or restaurant. I try to go on adventures often and whenever possible. It keeps life fresh, exciting and provides great photo opps!
Music
Music feeds my soul. Discovering a new band or song can make my whole day turn around. Concerts, instruments, singing…I couldn’t live without it.
Merriment
Whether it’s a holiday, a birthday party, a job well-done or just the weekend. I love to celebrate, drink champagne and enjoy life’s happy moments.
Love
The love of my sweet-as-pie beau, my family, my puppies…love is the thing, you know?
I die
My friends and I have always had a mild obsession with MK & A Olsen. “The unofficial biography of Mary Kate Olsen New episodes every Monday and Thursday”. These webisodes are so hilarious. Thanks to Elements of Style for introducing me! See more here.

Just like home
Don’t you love having friends that are like family? When you go to their house, you feel like you’re home? My friend’s parents’ house is like that for me. We had dinner over there last night and I couldn’t help daydreaming about the sunny afternoons and warm nights of the upcoming summer.
Beautiful weather +
Lots of friends and sunshine +
Champagne +
Pretty clothes +
Gorgeous surroundings +
Laughs +
More laughs & big hair +
Yummy food & crystal +
= Bliss
