The Proposal
We’re engaged! I am still in shock, completely. My sweet (fiancé – gahhh!) Robert asked me to get hitched on Friday night. I was totally surprised. My mom was in on it and lured me out to the Fayetteville square on the guise of taking family photos. He was completely caught off guard when the square was full of people, horse-draw carriages and even camels. We started walking around and he told me I was the love of his life – to which I said “you’re the love of my life too babe!” I did not get it until he dropped to one knee. I couldn’t believe it and collapsed onto him, hugging him. We are out-of-this world excited. His family honored me with his Great-Grandmother’s ring. Many more details to come!

Bird is 11 Months: Flashback
Remember when I shared that I had acquired the sweetest puppy, Birdie? Cue the cutie-cute puppy pics…
Little baby!
Meeting her “daddy dog”
Well now baby Birdie is a big girl! 40lbs! She is happy and healthy and still the cutest thing ever (in my opinion anyway).
For Halloween, she was a witchy-woman.
With her brother, Mr. Wiggs
More Birdie here! Sorry…I’m a proud mama.
I would live here in a perfect world.
This family has managed to create my dream house, without ever having met me! Qualifier: I die for white interiors but I might tone down the crispity-crispness of the sitting room, especially. The outdoor shower sold me. Feast your eyes.

Ok or Not Ok?
Literally, no pants. Granted this is Paris so…any thoughts? Would you attempt? It must be said that I am loving the shoes, the hat, the bag – in that order.
Envy
I’m into the whole look she has going but I’m particularly attracted to (insanely jealous of) her jewelry. Et tu?
Polish
Prim, pretty dresses with feminine shapes combined with glamorous make-up, hair and accessories…ahh to travel like this!

Pretty Bows
I love bows in hair, on shoes, on pins, on wrists, tied on a man’s (or woman’s) neck, cinching waists, wrapped on packages…you get the idea. For your consideration/inspiration, see below.
