Wedding Dress...

Princess Catherine
Kate, now Princess Catherine, was absolutely breathtaking in her Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen dress.  It’s a fitted white v-neck gown with “a long-sleeved lace overlay” and "a two-meter, 70-centimeter train,” according to People. Princess Catherine also wore an “ivory silk tulle veil, which was trimmed with hand-embroidered flowers” and “held in place by a Cartier ‘halo’ tiara, lent to Kate by the Queen.” Her diamond drop earrings are by Robinson Pelham and a gift from her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton. Her sister, Pippa Middleton, also wore McQueen.

Now on another note I have to say Princesses Beatrice, 22, and Eugenie, 21, (cousins to Prince William and Prince Harry and daughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson) looked like the evil stepsisters.  I adore their hats but for some reason I can't get Cinderella's stepsisters out of my head.  What do you think?

Royal Wedding...

Official photograph released by the Royal Family
Yes I will be one of the millions of people who will be up at 4 am (on the east coast) to watch the wedding of Kate and William, and I have to admit I'm a little excited! 

We've also been super excited about the many brides who chose us for their special day. In honor of all the brides we've selected some wonderful items for a wedding day...

Matte Nail Polish...

OPI
My new obsession, Matte Nail Polish.  I literally had a heart attack when I saw the new trend of matte polishes.  The only problem...I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars collecting all the new matte colors.  So I did a little searching and found this amazing top coat Essie Matte About You.  It can turn ANY of your nail polishes into matte colors...AMAZING!  I've tried it three times since I've gotten it and I'm in love, plus it's only $6, can't beat that.

Yummies...

I heart Lucinda Scala Quinn from Mad Hungry.  Not only are her recipes amazing but the girly girl in me is obsessed with her red nails...I know it sounds insane but I literally love watching her cook becuase she paints her nails red (I'm a crazy dork).  Anyway I've tried out the Spaghetti Amartraciana recipe (below) twice once on A and the second time on my family.  Both we're in love with it and let me tell you I think I might make a ton of sauce next time and freeze it so I can cook it up when ever I want pasta...like for breakfast (just kidding!). 

The second time I made it I added extra red peppers and it was a nice punch of heat.  I'm telling you try this recipe out you'll love it!

I love Mom...

Beauty...

With summer around the corner I've been re-thinking my beauty routine.  I stumbled upon a blog that is percisely what I need for tips and tricks to add a little flair into my life...
The Beauty Department
It's funny becuase this site is actually run (in part with a few others) by Lauren Conrad...you know the girl from Laguna Beach and the Hills.  Here she gives you her style tips with a twist of what's to come on the runways.  I thought I'd share this fun website with you...

Weekend...

Everything Fabulous
A and I had a fun weekend planned but with rain in the forecast we're going to spend Saturday lazing around in bed.  I found a few new recipes that I'm going to try out and I hope to have a quick bike ride tonight and on Sunday.  Do you have anything fun planned?

Weddings and Bridesmaids....

The Wedding Row
Weddings have been on my mind a lot, especially with so many of my friends tying the knot.  I've updated my website a bit and added a "Wedding" section.  We receive so many requests from brides and thought we'd make it simple with a few recommendations for the special day.  Everything is customizable as well as available in larger quantities (with a discount).
