With the look and...

Despite the fact that I rarely stay awake long enough to watch the ball drop (lame), New Year's Eve is one of my favorite days of the year. The sparkle, the bubbly, the all out fabulous. But more so, because 11 New Year's Eves ago...I met that guy. The one that I would spend the rest of my life with.

Doning the sparkliest, prettiest (maybe shortest) little dress I could...

A coffee shop bridal shower after a vanilla bean latte engagement - I love it! This bride was inspired by the latte she was enjoying when her fiance popped the question. With delicious baked goods, big round mugs of coffee and burlap table runners made from old coffee bean sacks, this shower looks like it was a ton of fun! And it definitely makes me crave coffee, that's for sure! Many thanks to ...
