Hello Summer!

Summer is my favorite season. Not only is it a beautiful time down here in South Florida, but it’s also the one and only time I get to wear my princess crown: my birthday! This year I’ll be heading back to the West Coast to celebrate my birthday with my closest friends in San Diego for Comic Con and it’s about time for me to start hunting for that perfect birthday girl dress! After all, who knows who I could run into that night?

These adorable dresses from Lulu’s would definitely fit the bill! And at their great prices, I wouldn’t have to pick only one (because you know I don’t settle for just one celebration)! Check out their new items and I’m sure you’ll be dreaming of crashing waves and strolling down a boardwalk with an ice cream in hand in no time!

Lovable Friday!

Once Kate Spade was the queen of prep, but I absolutely love the way the brand has evolved over the years. It can still be labeled as preppy, but in such a fun and whimsical way. Their pieces are so girly and fun – I don’t think there is one Kate Spade item I don’t like and these flats are no exception. The gorgeous shade of purple, the adorable little present bow, I just can’t handle it! Get your own for $95 at Zappo’s.

1. DIY Fake Mustaches
1. DIY Fake Mustaches

I truly believe fake mustaches are the best party favor ever, so I absolutely loved this adorable DIY mustache tutorial on the blog, The Wedding Chicks. It says that it is for weddings, but I truly believe this would make any party that much more festive and fun. Can you imagine a few of these babies as part of the prop box for a photo booth? I think I may seriously attempt these for our epic Fourth of July party!

Pretty in Oscar

I’m going to have to forego posting about my weekend this Monday so that I can pay homage to the Oscars Red Carpet – afterall, I know celebrity gawking and gossip is way more entertaining than my own life, right? Right.

I have to say that I was a bit disappointed with the level of glamor this year at the Oscars. It seemed like everyone was “playing it safe” when it came to their gown choice. Everyone’s outfits kind of resembled dresses I would see being worn at any black tie wedding. I mean, I’m sure they are thousands of dollars more, but you get me?

Although there weren’t many, here are my favorites from the night:

So what did you guys think? Do you agree? Disagree?

Have a fabulous week, everyone!

It’s Swimsuit Season!

Or at least pretty damn close, right?
Usually this is a time of year that makes most females cringe, drop that cupcake and hit the gym in a fury. Luckily, this year I can’t wait to buy some new swimsuits because #1: I may have a pool come spring (!) and #2: Thanks to my amazing trainer, I have lost over 10lbs and 2 inches off my hips (!!!). Victoria’s Secret must have sensed my enthusiasm because I just got their Swim ’10 catalog and I’m loving so many pieces! Now if only I could get their models’ abs & tans!

Plasticland Favorites

One of my new favorite online shops is Plasticland. You may remember that I purchased the most awesome-sauce pink cuckoo clock there for my new pink room. Well, they don’t just have housewares. They have a variety of amazingly fun and retro items to choose from. And here are some of my most recent favorites:

P91126702

Watermelon Mini Skirt – $44

Can I get one in every color under the sun? I would literally wear this skirt every single day.

P91117901

Bardot Platform Pumps -$39

Oh heck yes. Pair this with a black dress or with a pair of skinny jeans and you will get all the right kind of stares.

P00209018

Decorated Tin Cupcake Carrier – $36

Being a big fan of baking and eating cupcakes, I often struggle with how I will transport them to parties or to my office. This is the most perfect and adorable solution ever.

1. Wear Today, Gone Tomorrow
1. Wear Today, Gone Tomorrow

I really love dress shopping (no secret on this blog), but I really hate how I often times have to pick the runners up because my favorites for events are usually way out of my price range. So I stroke them a few times, give them a kiss and then set them back on the rack. But I just discovered the site, Wear Today Gone Tomorrow, and I cannot wait to give it a try! The site is much like those seen for purses or even camera lenses – you get to borrow high-end designer dresses at 90% off for however long you’d like and then return them right back and pick up a new one! The lovely Paul and Joe Sister number above is one of the dresses on my current wish list and is only $34.50/week. Best part is I doubt I will need any of my dresses for more than one week as I’ll just be snagging them for special events like weddings, parties and showers. Has anyone used this site before? I plan on giving it a test drive next month so I’ll let you all know how it goes!
