“Someday My Prince Will Come”

Did you ever dream of being a Disney princess bride?Now you can be with the line of Disney princess bridal gowns. Which princess would you be?Preferences based primarily on dress design. The prince is a secondary consideration.Besides who remembers any princely potentials besides Aladdin? Ariel.They used to call this style ‘fish tail.’Now it’s ‘mermaid.’ Still something fishy about it to me.Personally, I think it makes every girl look like she’s packing a little more bait in the dorsal fin. But… [Read More]

Normalcy.

I have been deeply affected by the enormous tragedy in Japan. The images coming in everyday are overwhelming. I try only to watch at night which has probably been the reason for my restless nights. I have a bad feeling. The kind where you go about your day and look around like you’re trying to capture normalcy knowing it will be gone when you wake up tomorrow.There is a nuclear power plant in south OC. A big one. As the… [Read More]

Vera Bradley Metropolitan Travel Bag

I met with lovely Michele, our local Vera Bradley rep last week and she showed me the Metropolitan travel bag. *LOVE*!!! Lady Kate, my best friend from college, and I, met for lunch at the Mission Viejo Mall where we ventured into a store with a plentiful VB collection. Lady Kate, who is a Congressional wife, travels to DC frequently for extended stays so I wanted to introduce her to the Metro bag. I knew it would be perfect for… [Read More]

J. Crew Pave Linked Bracelet

If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile you know bracelets are a passion of mine. Unfortunately, I can’t say no very easily. My friend found this pave linked bracelet on J. Crew. She is what I would call my ‘jewelry enabler’. And I love her for that.

Vera Bradley “All Wrapped Up” Jewelry Roll

Little $18 promotional Vera Bradley jewelry cases called ‘All Wrapped Up’.*LOVE*They were very difficult to find round these parts as not every VB retailer carried them but they are as cute as can be as in ‘adorable’ and ‘girlie’ and ‘you’ve got a find one and make it your own’. Definitely worth the hunt if you can still find them even if perhaps they have gone back up to $28. Up close and personal~ A magnet keeps the compartments stationary… [Read More]

It’s Always Sunny In…. Coto

When you think of SoCal do you think of mountains and green rolling hills? The green won’t be here for long so I’m really making a point of enjoying our spring weather. I’m very fortunate to live in a pretty location and I know I don’t always appreciate my surroundings as I’m driving in and out so I grabbed my camera yesterday and took some photos on my way out. One rule I adhered to was to take the photos… [Read More]
