Pink & Green Thursday: The New Mrs. Toth!

Pink & Green Thursday is here again - hooray! If you are new to this weekly girly holiday of sorts, the rules are easy-peasy: post your favorite pink and green things and link up with the fab Trishy. Let the pink-and-green-fest begin!
Have I mentioned how much I adore Reese? In light of her recent nuptials, I have been searching the web frantically for photos of her in her gown to no avail. The suspense is killing me... I need to see her in her bridal glory! In the meantime, let's examine some of her gorgeous pink and green looks:
Pretty in pink!
Gorgeous in green!
And in honor of her famed Legally Blonde days as the ultimate lady in pink (with her leading man Bruiser in tow, of course!):

Snaps for Elle, and snaps for all of you! Have a fabulous day! XO

Tommy Hilfiger: Preppy for Spring

Have you seen Tommy Hilfiger's Spring ad campaign? Pure preppy perfection in this ladies' book. Observe:

That pink shirtdress, those white eyelet shorts, and those classic sweaters and blazers... I think I'm in love. How do you all vote: love it or leave it? (Personally, I would leave a few of those hair-do's... tee hee.)
XOXO

Midnight in Paris

Have you heard what is coming? Squeeeeeee! I was smitten as soon as I read the title, and I fell even more in love after watching the trailer. Rachel McAdams, Owen Wilson, and the most perfect setting ever...beautiful Paris as a backdrop. J'adore!



Did you fall in love too? XOXO

Monday Musings

-Katy Perry playlists are the perfect cure for the Monday blues.
-Chanel ballet flats make you feel happy in a way that other ballet flats just can't.
-What would I do to have just one more day of the weekend???
-Is Spring EVER going to arrive in New England? It is currently 35 degrees... icky.
-Babies are the cutest things in the world. After visiting with 3 of my girlfriends and their babies this weekend, I am just smitten.
-I am having static cling issues with this dress today...
-Pink Champagne needed a wardrobe change... I'm now wearing my Spring Lilly.
-I WILL start eating healthier today, pinky promise.

Wishing you all a marvelous Monday!

Here Comes Reese!

Happy Friday, my darlin's! Is anyone else as happy as I am that Friday has finally come? I cannot wait for a romantic date night with Husband tonight... newlywed bliss, le sigh. The rest of the weekend is jam-packed with a bridal shower, BFFL reunion, and Sunday lunch date. Do you know what else is this weekend? Reese Witherspoon's wedding!
I have always adored Reese from Legally Blonde to Sweet Home Alabama... she is always simply stunning. Here are her bridal looks from these two flicks... what do you think her look will be at her true wedding? I cannot wait to see her wedding dress (hint: it's a Monique Lhuillier)!   
So pretty in pink!
With a traditional birdcage veil down South.

Have a lovely weekend! XO

Pink & Green Swimsuits!

The snow is falling here again (hello, Spring... where are you?), and I am longing for days spent lounging on the beach. Last night, Husband and I stumbled upon our pictures from our trip to the Amalfi Coast and I found myself drooling over the pictures in the hopes of magically transporting myself back. The Amalfi swim collection by Shabby Apple had a similar effect on me... maybe we will have to jet-set back so I can frolick on the beaches in one of these chic, ladylike one-pieces...
This Thursday, I am celebrating all the PINKS and GREENS and everything in between! Link up with Trishy and play along too! (In fact, it was the fabulous Trishy that introduced me to Shabby Apple when I won her giveaway for a beautiful dress... how is that for a fun tie in?!) XO
The pinks (my personal favorite color): 
Bows!
And ruffles!
The greens (or just one green):
The pin-up halter
And ALL the in-betweens!
Anything nautical is perfect in my book - and polka dots? Bonus!
Tiffany blue - wahoo!
Siren in red
Pretty bow embellishments 
From Amalfi, with love. Ciao bella!

Elizabeth Taylor: Style Icon

I was so sad to hear the news that the beloved style icon and actress Elizabeth Taylor has passed. With one look at these photos and quotes from her very own lips, there is no doubt that she was one fabulous lady!  
I never planned to acquire a lot of jewels or a lot of husbands. I have been supremely lucky in my life in that I have known great love, and of course, I am the temporary custodian of some incredible and beautiful things.
Big girls need big diamonds.

 It is strange that the years teach us patience; that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting.
Some of my best leading men have been dogs and horses.
I fell off my pink cloud with a thud. 
I adore wearing gems, but not because they are mine. You can't possess radiance, you can only admire it.
I've been through it all, baby, I'm mother courage.
I suppose when they reach a certain age some men are afraid to grow up. It seems the older the men get, the younger their new wives get. 
If someone's dumb enough to offer me a million dollars to make a picture, I'm certainly not dumb enough to turn it down.

I feel very adventurous. There are so many doors to be opened, and I'm not afraid to look behind them.
My mother says I didn't open my eyes for eight days after I was born, but when I did, the first thing I saw was an engagement ring. I was hooked.
I am a very committed wife. And I should be committed too - for being married so many times.

Rest in peace, Elizabeth Taylor. You will always be remembered for your stunning style and your gorgeous jewels!

Spring-spiration from Kate Spade

The cold, dreary New England weather may say otherwise, but my Kate Spade wall calendar tells me that it is officially Spring (and Kate Spade has NEVER steered me wrong!). I need some bright colors and vibrant patterns in my life stat, so I turned to Kate Spade's creative director Deborah Lloyd to see what inspires her. Behold:
 Quite the inspiration board, oui???
This lovely would be sure to trick my neck into thinking the sun was shining bright! 
Ask and you shall receive. Bright colors: check. Vibrant patterns: check. This purse screams spring!
Just in case you need a little more sunshine...
This clutch makes me crave a pina colada badly... anyone with me?

Thank you, once again, Kate for the rays of sunshine bursting off my screen (until the real sun catches up). Wishing you all a bright Tuesday!
