Quotable Pink and Green Thursday


Happy Pink & Green Thursday! Aren't all pink and green days happy? Let's play with Trish (who is in beautiful Mexico with her hubby - lucky lady!) to celebrate, shall we?
"I believe in PINK. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles." — Audrey Hepburn
"Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again" — Brendan James

Prayers for Baby Cohen

Please send your love and prayers to Megan & Brent, who lost their precious baby boy to a heart defect just 12 days after he was born. Today is Baby Cohen's memorial service... send warm wishes by linking up here.

Here is a clip from his obituary as it appeared in the paper:
"Born in Dallas, TX on June 7, 2010, the first child of Megan and Brent Marshall, Michael Cohen Marshall came into the world at 7 lbs. 6 oz., with a hearty cry and a congenital heart condition. He was known as The Mighty Cohen in his short little life, for he endured multiple surgeries and procedures. For twelve days, Cohen fought with the heart of a lion, but on June 18, 2010, his little body could not match his fighting spirit. He was delivered into the Kingdom of Heaven at 8:35pm in his parents’ arms. He was loved and adored by his parents, their families and friends every day of his life. Cohen touched thousands of lives with his story. The world came to know him through Megan’s blog and many felt they knew him long before he was even born. Sometimes the smallest feet leave the biggest footprints in this world and Cohen has left a lasting impression on us all; he was truly an amazing little boy. His parents want to thank all of his supporters, doctors, nurses and prayer warriors for their care, concern, support and prayers."

Cute Questionnaire

The wedding was lovely, the bride was absolutely breathtaking, and we had a fantastic time! I'm back from my best friend and MOH's wedding, and I was greeted with a terrific tag from my blogging bff Trish over at Pink Preppy Lilly Lover. Visit Trish if you are not already acquainted - she is an absolute doll and just the sweetest! Thanks for the fun tag, lovely! I've missed you all dearly and can't wait to dive right in!

favorite color?
PINK. Have we met???

favorite restaurant?
This is a tricky one, because Fiancé and I sure do love fine dining! One of our favorite spots is the Chatham Bars Inn on Cape Cod... breathtaking ocean views, scrumptious seafood, to-die-for desserts, and we always spend hours with a bottle of wine of champagne in front of the huge fire place. My stomach is growling now!

hobbies?
Boating. Being on the water with the sun beating down, the breeze blowing, and my love by my side is pure bliss.
Dancing. Alone in my underwear, with my best girlfriends all dolled up, with Fiancé in the living room, or reliving my 11 years of dance classes... any kind of dancing is fine by me!
Tennis. While I no longer play competitively, I still love to throw on a little white skirt and swing a racket.
Being sung to. What girl doesn't go gaga when she is serenaded?

what does your room look like?
My current room is the ultimate girly escape, complete with satin bedding and French Vogue photos framed on the walls. For our newlywed master bedroom (currently in the works), we have gone with a very classic, traditional feel. Restoration Hardware monogrammed (our soon-to-be MARRIED monogram) white bedding with silver sage embroidery, pale blue walls, and a white brick chimney as a central landmark. I cannot wait to hang a gorgeous chandelier to complete the look. I believe EVERY room should have a chandelier. Tres elegant and romantic!

if you could have dinner with two people, dead or alive, who would they be?
Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. Audrey was just the sweetest most elegant lady, and I'm sure Marilyn would have some juicy stories to tell!

what is your next big splurge?

With the wedding coming up, the honeymoon on its' heels, boating season upon us, and so many home projects in the works, saving is our goal. I already bought Fiancé's wedding present (TOP SECRET... you are going to LOVE it, darling!), but I will say that was it if I'm allowed to bend the rules and choose my last big splurge.  

what is your favorite joke, quote or saying?
"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." -Audrey Hepburn
Proof of why I adore Audrey!

anything else you would like known? (a random fact)
Monday was exactly 2 months until my wedding day, and I can feel the excitement building more and more each day. I think I'm going to burst soon!
 
This was such fun! I tag these lovely ladies:
-brown eyed belle
-bumpkin on a swing
-the pink prep
-pink peonies and pearls
-lily lemontree
-nola girl
 
Enjoy! xoxo

PS - have you seen Sweet Southern Prep's Lilly giveaway? Too adorable for words - you MUST check it out!

Photo Friday: Peacocks!

My Best Friend's Wedding (note the Julia Roberts reference) is this weekend, and I am bursting with excitement. Her theme is peacock feathers and their colors, so in her honor here are a few lovelies for Photo Friday. Enjoy!
Congratulations to the soon-to-be Mr. & Mrs! *Big bear hugs and air kisses!*
