Disney Shower = Much Happiness

A few weekends back we celebrated the lovely soon to be Mrs C...

A day at the park with all of the girls....

followed by dinner at Club 33, where we should have worn pearls.


We tucked our sweet bride in and awoke her with a shower...


many presents, and a fashion show, the bride had all the power...


Sweet and tea length, the bride did like...


Stevie Nicks inspired was her favorite....Psych!

The winning design had the bride already ready to sing...


Instead she just chose to show off her beautiful bling!

Many lovely ladies did show up to see...


Our beautiful and stunning bride to be!

Saucy Sandals

I am loving these Steve Madden Slivver Sandals because of their versatility. Great for light summer dresses and shorts, they bring a little glamour to your everyday wear. Plus you needn't worry about blisters on your heels as the strap is made entirely of fabric! These cute sandals are a steal of a deal at $27.99 and are also available in black and brown. Sweet!

Luscious Lashes

I have always been since I can remember a mascara junkie. With blonde eyelashes, I kind of look like a freak without it. True story, my senior year of college we went to Vegas for spring break and I bought four different tubes of mascara for the trip. You'd think I would have found a winner between the four of them. Not so much. Searching for the perfect mascara for the wedding wasn't any easier because I needed a mascara that not only lengthened, but also made my eye lashes fuller. I am very particular about my brushes and the wand. I hate ultra long wands, what's the point?

Well my friends, I have found my new makeup staple. Prescriptives 'Lash Envy' Mascara, is almost perfect. The wand is the perfect length, the brush is full without being harsh, and the color stays all day without flaking. It was the mascara I used for my wedding day and I think it will be one I use for many days ahead. In fact I even had a gal at Disneyland ask me what type of mascara I use, it's that good!

So if you still haven't found a good mascara, try this one out...stop being envious and go get the lashes you have always wanted!

Song of the Week: You Can't Always Get What You Want

I began watching the show Swingtown a few weeks back mainly because Grant Show was on it and he has a mustache. I know, not the best reason to tune into a show but I do love me some Jake from Melrose Place! The show is pretty good, it makes me giggle and grimace a bit, but what I love most about the show is the music! Incredible tunes that have me singing along all night long. Last week's episode featured The Rolling Stones, You Can't Always Get What You Want and I was reminded of how amazing that song is, and how it really does apply to life in general. For example, I really didn't want the weekend to end, yet somehow today is Monday and I am back at work. Music to my ears :)

Forever Frugal Friday


Keeping with the theme of summer time and Friday, this dainty
Satin Sand Dollar Necklace it the perfect piece to let everyone know that summer has arrived. Sweet and simple, perfect with a white dress, simple flip flops, and your hair fresh from the beach.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Popsicle Inspired

Soapsicles by Soapylove , Dress by Insight

Insight must have been hungry when they designed the Sugar Hill Dress. Beautifully bright and blended this dress will have you craving a popsicle all day long. If you aren't one to blend in with the rest, then this is the dress for you!



I had seen the dress in the pink and blue combo above on Urban Outfitters online, but did not see it there today, so perhaps check at an actual store. I must also point ya'll to Soapylove's Etsy shop, which is full of cute creations that look good enough to eat.

These handmade soaps would make great gift adornments and also look adorable at your summer house in the bathroom. Regardless of how you use them, they are candy for your eye and these dresses are sure to be candy for someone eyes.

Summer Lovin'...Had Me A Blast

Kathryn over at Snippet & Ink did a special post at Ritzy Bee about the best summer wedding inspirations. Her board on ice cream treats had me drooling at my desk. Seeing as it is officially the first day of summer at 4:59 PM today, why not treat yourself to a little treat. I know I am planning to after this tasty board!
