Give me more Angela Moore!

Have you lovelies heard of Angela Moore? If not, you sure are in for a Tuesday treat! You can shop these fun, bright, colorful pieces in Newport and Palm Beach or online if you are not lucky enough to be near these gorgeous boutiques. You will find hand painted jewelry, resort fashions and home accents based around "making everyday living an art."

I started my collection a few years ago with the Turtle Treats bracelet, and looking at some of the other fun choices I might have to add one or two (or three) to my jewelry box...

Turtle Treats - my Angela Moore wrist candy

Here are a few on my lust list:

Fancy Flamingoes - This one is calling your name, Prissy and Preppy Flamingo!

Sea Goddess Pink/Green - pink, green, and sea shells... beautiful!

Sandy Sea Shells - more shells... LOVE for summer.
Watches too! Aren't they gorgeous?

Pink Poppies Grand Watch
And one from the newest line:

Safari Chic - Chic, indeed Miss Moore!

The perfect accessory to any Lilly outfit, oui? J'adore Angela Moore, and I just know you will too! Which are your favorites? XO

Cocktails a la Breakfast at Tiffany's

Tonight I am throwing my kissthesinglegirlapartmentgoodbye party, and you are all invited! Oh how I wish we all lived near and could get together to toast with champagne. It would be such fun! Here is the invitation I designed:

I am wearing a Tiffany-blue colored cocktail dress and fabulous jewelry, channeling Holly Golightly in her cocktail party scene in the movie. I'll be sure to drink a glass of champagne in your honor, dear blogging friends. Cheers!

Wishing you all a lovely summer weekend! XO

Pink & Green Thursday: Lounge under an Umbrella

Who wants to play hooky with me today and go to the beach? We will lounge under a pink and green umbrella, lie on pink and green beach towels, and wear adorable pink and green bikinis!

Guess which umbrella we will be under?

There will be lots of giggles and silliness...

And umbrellas sprinkled on the sand as far as the eye can see...

Maybe we'll dance

and most definitely play in the waves!

While looking adorable and perfectly pink and green.

Play along with Trish each Thursday!

Blog Love Fest

So many awards to share!
The darling Jen from Nola Girl and the adorable Katie from Jersey Girl awarded me the Sugar Doll Award. Thank you, my darlings! Oooohhh sugar, sugar, da da da da da da... are you singing along with me?

I also received the Versatile Blogger Award from Blonde Steel Magnolia - visit her adorable pink and green blog for a little sunshine!

I present to you: ten of my favorite things!

Anything wedding related... white gowns, lace, flowers, cake, and diamonds make my little heart go pitter patter!

White lights at Christmas - aren't they just so magical?

Soft serve twist ice cream in a plain cone with jimmies... *drool*

Summertime - the sun, boat trips with Fiancé, bikinis, warm nights, sundresses, outdoor dining... summer is my favorite season.

Travel - I adore seeing new places and experiencing different cultures. 

Lilly Pulitzer - pink, green, gorgeous prints, and darling designs. True amore!

Champagne - give this girl the bubbly!

Jewelry - a little sparkles makes me smile.

And shoes... even better when embellished with a bow or flower. (I'm cheating and combining these two as one under the umbrella of "accessories".)

Fireplaces, chandeliers, and Parisian architecture. Le sigh.

Long phone calls with old friends.

I tag 5 of my newest followers. Welcome, lovelies!

Here Comes the Bride: All Dressed in Lilly!

Here comes the Lilly Bride! I'm sure many of you have already heard the big news: Lilly will debut 12 unique gowns incorporating Lilly lace, grosgrain and fun hints of pink and green in late 2010... a tad too late for this bride-to-be (and I'm in luuuurve with my gown), but I cannot wait to feast my eyes on these lovelies! Perhaps we can renew our vows someday...

A Little SPARKLE for your Monday

Pink & Green Thursday: Shower Part 2

Happy Pink & Green Thursday, my fellow pink and green lovers! More shower pictures for you today, and more pinks and greens!

Here is the famous cupcake in the box with the poem... recipe is on the back. (And if you want to bake yourself, see my last post!)

On the walls... our fairy tale come true.

There may have been some Tiffany-blue boxes... (hint - think wine glasses and champagne flutes!)

And a few pink and green Lilly surprises as well - drink shaker, picture frame, and two adorable nightgowns.

And my beloved shower dress from the Jubilee collection - true amore!

Send some love to Trish in Mexico, and play along with us with your favorite pinks and greens! *Air kisses on each cheek!*

Diamond Ring Cupcakes

Hi lovelies! I still haven't gotten the chance to upload my pictures from the shower, so here is the recap Part 1. Part 2 will include many more pictures - pinky promise!

Here is the gift table (see all those pretty pinks and greens!) before I arrived and tore apart all that lovely wrapping. It was at a restaurant overlooking the harbor, and the weather could not have been more perfect. We enjoyed brunch and strawberry shortcake trifle for dessert, while sipping on mimosas (my favorite!). 

The favors were "carrot cake" cupcakes with a "carat" diamond ring in the frosting - how adorable! Here is the darling poem (an original by Mother - so creative!) along with the recipe (my soon-to-be Mother in Law's) that guests received. 

In case you have the itch to bake...

Carrot Cake

2 c sifted flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
2 c sugar
1 1/2 c salad oil
4 eggs

Cream Cheese Frosting
1/2 c butter or margarine
1 (8oz) pkg cream cheese
1 tsp vanilla
1 lb confectioner's sugar
2 c finely grated carrots
1 (8 1/2 oz) can crushed pineapple (drained)
1/2 c chopped nuts
1 (3 1/2 oz) can flaked coconut

Carrot Cake:
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt & cinnamon. Add sugar, oil & eggs. Mix well. Add carrots, pineapple, nuts & coconut; blend thoroughly. Bake in a 9"x13" greased & floured pan or three 9" round layer cake pans. Bake at 350° for 35-40 min. Or make 11/2-2 doz cupcakes and bake at 350° for 20-25 min.

Frosting:
Combine butter, cheese & vanilla; cream well. Add confectioner's sugar gradually, beating well. If mixture is too thick, add a bit of milk.

YUM-MIE! Happy baking, dolls!
