There is a house in my neighbourhood that stops passers by in their tracks:
The front garden is populated by a stunning magnolia tree and hundreds of amazing bulbs that burst with lush colour.
People literally get out of their cars to take photos and one women even set herself up on the sidewalk with an easel so she can capture the beauty on canvas.
I had to take some photos of my own a few of weeks ago before the magnolia lost all of its pretty petals.
Aren't spring flowers the best?
My sisters and I are thrilled to be included in the bridal party for our beautiful bright and stylish cousin Alyssa. As first-time bridesmaids, we didn't know what to expect at her bachelorette party a couple of weeks ago...
Luckily the maid of honour Rachel and fellow bridesmaids Penny and Julie planned a night full of hilarious hijinks that kept us entertained for hours
To add some naughty flair to an otherwise girly spread, I baked some phallic cookies. To tone down the ick factor I iced them in purple and pink (normal, right?)
Some cookies got pretty pink pubes!
And others were customized with the bride's nickname.
A stunning homemade cake from Jaclyn Hafner was the perfect purple confection to top off our ice cream and sushi extravaganza
After we dressed up the bride, we surprised her with pink ladies jackets because we are cool riders for life.
We hopped on to a karaoke bus that was furbished in pink and black fur and vinyl and a stripper pole and embarked on a fabulous scavenger hunt around the city.
Some odd karaoke choices were offered ("amazing grace" and "get up off of that thing" to mention a few)
The entire night was so amazing and provided an amazing bonding experience for the large bridal party (there are 14 of us gals marching!)
The wedding is this weekend and I am so excited that words hardly describe! Stay tuned for photos as the bride has amazing taste and it is going to be an unbelievably beautiful night!
Have a great weekend everyone!
I tried these on last weekend and swooned. Too bad these babies break the bank because they are amazingly perfect summer sandals. Patio-busting heels that won’t slip between planks and cocktail-spill-resistant patent are the clinchers, not to mention a slight platform helps matters too.
Please go on sale now- thanks!
The designer I work for collects issues of Architectural Digest. I thought it would be fun to browse some of the older issues for some inspiration (and chuckles), and I was actually shocked at how relevant some of the design seemed today.
This 1977 vignette created by the late interior designer Arthur E Smith is taken from a Park Avenue duplex. I think the deco-esque round table mirror, lucite lamp sand tailored skirt on the console is totally something you could find in any recent issue of Domino!
