The Other Sister

Pippa Middleton Pippa Middleton attends the wedding of Katie Percy to Patrick Valentine at St Michael's Church in Alnwick, Northumberland on February 26, 2011 in Alnwick, England. A friend of Prince William and Kate Middleton Lady Katie Percy, 28 who is the eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, will marry Patrick Valentine, 30, before a party at the family home Alnwick Castle.

Everyone now knows who she is – Pippa. Before the coming out party for her derriere, (otherwise known as the royal wedding) she was the sister of Prince William’s girlfriend, a chic British socialite. Now she is a whirlwind, worldwide phenomenon. She’s constantly watched and reported on, her fashion recreated and sought after, her figure envied. She seems to be taking it all in stride. So, what is it about Pippa? She’s been called the most eligible girl in England. Her booty has a Facebook fan club and in my opinion, she is quite cute. What do you think?

Way down yonder in New Orleans

My bags are packed! I’m ready to go! It’s hard to believe that I’m heading to New Orleans to celebrate my bachelorette, see sweet friends that I haven’t seen in a long time and get excited about my wedding in exactly THREE MONTHS from tomorrow!

The weekend has already started nicely, my dress was delivered today! I haven’t opened the box yet but I’m so excited.

I hope you have a lovely holiday weekend! I’ll leave you with a little picture of the future Bridewells.

With all the craziness, sadness and unpredictability of our society today, it is evermore important to hold on to what’s real and valuable in our lives.

I hope something makes each and every one of you devastatingly happy this weekend.

I’ll be relaxing, celebrating a dear friend’s upcoming baby girl and continuing to nest in the new place.

My wedding dress comes in next Thursday, then it’s off to New Orleans for my bachelorette celebration with college friends. Don’t we all have so much to look forward to?

Rehearsal Dinner Dress?

I’m seriously considering purchasing this vintage beauty on ebay. Any thoughts?

Bridal Baubles Inspiration (Something Blue)

The other day I was thinking, why not do your “something blue” in the form of jewelry? I’m not sure if that’s a popular idea but I am exploring it. Earrings or a bracelet in a blue hue could be divine and depending on your dress/accessories/atmosphere, could be as subtle or as attention-grabbing as you like. I’m probably not going to do a necklace but that could be beautiful as well.



This isn’t blue but I am slightly dying over it.

Too Much for a Rehearsal Dinner Dress?

I mean, honestly…

Sadie Dress by Jones and Jon**

I think, as long as it’s not sheer and there is double sided tape involved it could work. But I could be way off.

Either of these would  probably be safer…
