#IFB Con

I am thrilled to announce that I will be attending IFB Con with long-time blogging bestie Julie! I cannot wait to listen to the amazing speakers (dying for IFB to reveal who they are!), meet some fabulous bloggers, toast with cocktails at the Plaza, nibble on macarons at Ladurée, shop til we drop, and celebrate in the city that never sleeps. Did I mention we will finally meet the lady behind Blair's Headband?!

Are any of you attending, too? New York City, here we come!  

Pink Champagne, MBA

Today is the big day: I have officially completed my MBA! No more pencils, no more books...this lady is finished with school forever. 

Just call me Pink Champagne, MBA. wink!

Now...time to celebrate!

Catching Up

Hi lovelies! Lots of celebrations have been happening in my world lately, and I would love to share some photos with you! Remember the 1920s themed gala I referred to for New Year's Eve? Here is a glimpse into our own little Great Gatsby! 

Pearls and feathers were packed...

The Inn was prepared for its guests...

My outfit was planned, topped off with a vintage fur...

We enjoyed a delicious dinner and lots of champagne...

And the Inn was aglow after a night of dancing to the jazz band...

Brunch on New Year's Day required a fur shawl and a glittery bow...

Before I knew it, my birthday had arrived and I was the big 2-9. Husband gave me a gorgeous pink houndstooth coat with big pearl buttons (doesn't he know me well?) and an Italian coral bracelet to match the necklace he had given me for our wedding. 

We toasted in our hotel room with pink champagne (what else!?)...

and pretended we were in Paris while enjoying delicious dinner and dessert at a French brasserie. 

I closed my eyes tight and made a wish...

I adored the Tiffany blue ceilings and stunning chandeliers of the hotel...

and we just had to snap a photo in the lobby!

Champagne cocktails followed after dinner as the celebration continued. 

Cheers to a fabulous year! XX

Birthday Celebrations!

Today, I turn 29 and Husband & I are spending the weekend celebrating in the city! We will visit my favorite three little triplets in the world, toast with champagne cocktails, dine at a French restaurant and pretend we are in Paris, do lots of window shopping, and stroll the beautiful streets. 

In honor of my 29th birthday, I am throwing myself a little blog celebration filled with my party favorites. Have a cupcake and pop the bubbly!

Details to come! 

Milly & Banana Collaboration

Have you heard the news?! The best news ever?!

Banana Republic is collaborating with one of my favorite designers, Milly, and I am dying for a sneak peek. Confession: I may have squealed when I came across the article.

I adored Banana's Trina Turk line this past summer, and I have high expectations for the Milly line to come. A new print created for the capsule and six updated Milly prints?! I die. Even better news: the capsule line is launching in May, just in time for our trip to Greece. Wink.

The line will evoke a "summer feeling of great homes and beautiful beaches. The easy, breezy style of Milly and her Hamptons-chic style is a new take on aspirational summer dressing for our consumers." - Simon Kneen, Banana Republic Creative Director 

The Hamptons are calling my name! 

The Year of Emerald

2013 is the year of EMERALD! Yes, the pantone color of the year has been announced, and I am smitten. Elegant, glamorous, and rich, this jewel tone is parfait for the new year if you ask this lady.

Will you be donning and decorating with the color of the year?

I Resolve...

 

It's a new year filled with new opportunitues and possibilies, and Pink Champagne has a new look to celebrate all that is ahead! I have a sneaky feeling it's going to be a fabulous year, darlings!
