I remember a few years back when I had what seemed like back-to-back weddings every month. Well, now things have shifted and we are at the stage where it is one baby shower after the other. I’m not going to lie, I’m not a fan. OK, so I usually groan when I receive an invitation to one. However, I really appreciate when a couple understands what makes a baby shower downright boring and try their best to do the complete opposite. Cue one of my oldest friends, Camero. She knows what’s up.

Royal Fashion

The Royal Wedding has a special meaning to me.
Sure, everyone can’t help but be excited – a regular girl, about to become a princess. The fashion. The pomp and circumstance. But I have a different reason.

I was born on Prince Charles & Princess Diana’s wedding day. Rumors have it that everyone in the delivery room exclaimed, “Princess Diana has arrived!” when I crowned. It was at that time that my middle name was chosen: Diana. That day was July 29th, 1981.

And now, one of Diana’s beloved sons, William, is to get married to the beautiful Kate Middleton. A “normal” girl. A fairy tale come true. And it’s happening on April 29, 2011 – my sister’s birthday. What? It’s so strange.

But I digress.

How gorgeous did the new princess (excuse me, dutchess) look in Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen??

& her sister, and maid of honor, was not far behind in a slinky, form fitting beauty of a McQueen gown in a rich cream.

Much congratulations to the new couple, may they be the voice of a new generation!

ps; I loved all the fun hats/fascinators!

Lovable Friday!

1. Dino Bracelet

You would be seriously bringing it back to the old school with this dino bracelet found at Olive Shoppe. I hate when I fall in love with something on Pinterest, and then follow the link only to find that it is sold out (or ridiculously expensive); this bracelet fell under both categories. Bah humbug. Can’t somebody talented out there replicate this for me? I’ll make you cupcakes.

Zara + Color = Love

How much am I loving the new Zara line?
All the bright, vibrant colors? The light, breezy fabrics?
Oh please, ye fashion gods, shine down some good fortune. Or at least a money
tree to support my habit.

What I Wore | Photographer’s Assistant

On Sunday afternoon, I helped the hubs by being his stylist for one of his morning shoots. I always love participating in photoshoots, and getting to help the girls feel a little more comfortable as well as pretty. We also took a little pit stop to visit the hubs’ new office space. It is stunning! It also made the perfect backdrop for my outfit photos. Obviously I was going for comfy and casual, but I always enjoy throwing in some really fun accessories to make it a little more interesting!

1. Stamp Rug

I really wish I could have more rugs in my home, but with 2 rowdy (& hairy) dogs, it’s always a bad idea. But something tells me that I would make an exception for this kick ass stamp rug emblazoned with the Queen’s likeness in bold, kicking colors. Maybe slapping one on the wall would be a better option. ;)

What I Wore | Art Walk

Every second Saturday of the month, all the art galleries in Miami’s Design District open their doors to the public for free. I used to frequent the gallery walks years ago, but was really surprised to see this past weekend how huge the event has gotten. Food trucks line the street, amazing bands playing in every corner, free drinks and quality art. It only makes me wish there were more events like this in Miami on a regular basis! I had a great time with my friends and we are hoping to make this a monthly outing.

What I Wore | Bridesmaid Brunch

I am extremely happy for two of my closest friends, Elissa & James, and their recent engagement! Even more so after I was told I was to be the maid of honor! The rest of the bridal party (also some of my closest friends), decided to take the bride-to-be out for a bridesmaid brunch to celebrate the engagement at the Pelican Grand in Ft. Lauderdale. We had a fabulous time – maybe a little too fabulous – I ended up sick as a dog the following week. But I have to say, spending time with these girls is always worth it, no matter the outcome!

I think this outfit fit the vibe perfectly. I wanted something feminine and romantic since we were celebrating love and marriage, but also needed something airy as we were going to be sitting outside by the beach. Everyone knows this season is all about the maxi dress, but it can be pretty difficult to find the right one. I found my perfect maxi while perusing the clearance section at Marshall’s (along with 2 other beauties, but I digress)! I am in love with its little ruffles and tiers. Everything about it screams girly. I paired it with some gold accessories and was on my way!

Of course, I had to add the sparkly goodness! Congrats, my love :)
