Summer Bag Perfection

All of last summer, I was in search of the perfect straw summer bag. Where was this bag last year when I needed it??? The white trim, the flower applique, the frayed edge...this screams beach chic!  I'll take the sandals too along with oversized sunglasses and a floppy straw hat, thankyouverymuch. Le sigh.

National Wear Your Lilly Day

Three cheers that Summer is officially here! Hip hip, hooray! Hip hip, hooray! Hip hip, hooray! I'm celebrating wearing this Lilly top, white pants, my Lilly twisted bangles in pink, green, white, and gold, and the gold earrings I won from Sweet Southern Prep's giveaway. What are you wearing today? XO

Ode to the Father of the Bride

Cheers to my Daddy, as I'll always be Daddy's Little Girl. To my tennis partner, Mr. Fix-It, jokester, car repair man, house project helper, moving man, boat engine consultant, and "face game" opponent. The man I would run to every night at 5:15 when he would walk in the door and jump into his arms, who would flip me upside down, carry me on his shoulders, and be my human jungle gym. Who I would call on the phone and ask to come upstairs and play with me, who would read the "Large and Growly Bear" to me in the perfect bear voice, would take me on "toe rides" in the swimming pool, and who would sing "My Girl" to me. To the man who will walk me down the aisle, give me away, and spin me around the dance floor in just 68 days... Cheers to my Daddy, the Father of the Bride - I love you!

Photo Friday

Fiancé and I have a huge wedding weekend coming up, and I am positively tickled pink! Today is the day of my first DRESS FITTING... I am counting down the hours until I get to slip into my dream dress and see myself in the mirror... le sigh. Tomorrow, we are meeting with the priest to finalize all ceremony details and then I am headed to the salon spa with my mother and future mother-in-law for trial hair and make up appointments. Such FUN. Sunday is another meeting with the wedding coordinator (hopefully taking our boat to the meeting... fingers and toes all crossed). This bride is on cloud nine this weekend! Could Photo Friday really be anything OTHER than a wedding photo today???

Pink & Green Peonies

Happy Pink & Green Thursday, lovelies! Peonies are a favorite flower of mine, and if I were having a spring wedding they most certainly would have been my wedding flower of choice. In celebration of pink and green and these beautiful blooms, take a deep breath and take in their beauty. Can you smell the lovely aroma through your screen? Almost??? Use your imagination!

Wishing you all love, happiness, and lots of pink and green!

Lusting After Milly

I find myself daydreaming about this lovely Milly dress, and with it on sale, I am feeling veeeery tempted.

The colors, the neckline, the prints... le sigh. Deep breath. Do not click buy, do not click buy, do not click buy...

Happy Friday, darlings! Fiancé just landed moments ago in Fort Lauderdale for his bachelor party weekend, so today's Photo Friday is in his honor. Here is a picture of Fort Lauderdale from our New Year's trip this year... wouldn't you love to call this home? Sigh.

Have a wonderful weekend! XO
