Fab & Fug Princesses
Of course, Kate looked stunning. She was a vision and I have no idea how she was able to keep her composure but the whole thing was so lovely. Yes. I was up at 4am.
However, I feel that Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice need to be addressed. These pictures don’t even do justice to how truly fugly they both looked despite the chic hats.
The Princess
Ok…I have royal wedding fever just like everyone else. I’m not sure I’ll wake at 3am to watch Guiliana’s E coverage but I’m still excited. I can’t wait to see what she’ll wear!! Everyone waits with breath that is baited. I heard that everyone in the UK gets Thursday and Friday off, duh. Kate Middleton looks gorgeous – here are a few more shots of her for your viewing pleasure.

Crazy Love
I’m OBSESSED with this editorial. Especially the first photo which seems to scream Romeo & Juliet in a modern/princess/fashion way. Such high spirits in these photos! Doesn’t everyone deserve to be as happy as this?

My Wedding Inspirations
Today is April 27th. That means our wedding is exactly four months away. I hyperventilated a bit when I realized. In honor of that and of the royal wedding (of course) I thought I’d share some of my wedding inspirations. If Kate Middleton forsakes Queen Victoria’s jewels for flowers in her hair I will never forgive her.
anything vintage or meaningful
a jewel-encrusted gown
a stunningly simple setting for the ceremony
shoes that sparkle
a ranunculus boutonnière
on a classic tux
sneaks at the reception
all the girls in light, feminine hues
flowers in her hair
honeymoons in far off places
a little new orleans flavor

Bridal Inspiration {Invitations}
Have you heard of Minted? It’s only my favorite stationary shop online. What do you think about doing an ultra-modern invitation? I feel like I want something modern and “us” or just very traditional – beautiful paper and script. What do you think?
I Love Gallery Walls
Sometimes you can have too much of a good thing. I don’t believe that applies to art on the walls. When done right, a gallery wall can be spectacular. It can be done in any room, with or without a theme. It can cover a blank wall or a busy one, a small room or a large one…just make sure you’re happy when you walk in and don’t be afraid to take a few decorating chances.

Vanity
I am lucky enough to have a vanity. It’s a very special piece of furniture that was given to me by a dear friend of the family. It’s the essential piece for a lady that loves to get ready. That may not be every day but it does happen. I stumbled upon some gorgeous vanities on {this is glamorous}. I prefer the mirrored versions, you?

My sweet little vanity :)
The Palm Springs Getaway
I have not seen so much rain in a short time span as I’ve seen over the past week. I’m beginning to forget what the sun looked like. That is, until I saw this gorgeous photoshoot of a Palm Springs getaway.
