And the Bridesmaids Wore Aubergine...

They're really wearing "plum," but doesn't aubergine sound so much better?

Sweetheart neckline, ruched, dropped-waist bodice - the Alvina Valenta dress looks absolutely stunning on them and I couldn't be happier.

Little by little, the details are falling into place for the wedding and I'm getting more excited as the days go by.

250 days to go!

Wedding Bliss

This weekend, I had the privilege of being a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding. Let me just tell you, she was absolutely stunning. So stunning that I cried several times throughout the night because she looked that beautiful (or maybe it was because I had one too many glasses of wine during the cocktail hour, who knows). I have never seen her look so happy and I couldn't have been more thrilled to watch her marry the man of her dreams. From the gorgeous venue to the delicious food - including a make-your-own sundae bar (my personal highlight) - the night was flawless.

Love you, girl friend, he is one lucky guy!

It's My Party

Today is my birthday! And it's Friday! So I guess I should celebrate...all weekend.

The weekend will be full of friends, family, margaritas, shopping and spending time with N. Oh, and maybe a cupcake or two :)

Another One Bites The Dust

And I'm absolutely thrilled. My best friend, my forever-valentine and the one who I've spent countless hours with imagining the men of our dreams, has finally found her Mr. Right and he popped the question this weekend. The bride and groom-to-be are glowing with happiness and I was just giddy to hear the news. So excited for a year of planning and preparing for the big day!

Much love to you both xoxo.

If You Found A Hundred Dollar Bill On The Sidewalk...

How would you spend it? There is a lot you could buy for $100, but I would do the following:

Buy this adorable dress from J.Crew - $39.99 (on sale!)

Treat the fam to an icecream at Pizzi Farm because Dad has paid one too many times (my pick: Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip frozen yogurt) - $14.00

Share an Upper Crust Garden Veggie pizza with my best girl friends accompanied by a hefty glass of chardonnay - $20.75

Rent a movie On Demand with N - $4.99

Call in sick from work and head to Good Harbor beach in Gloucester for the day - $20 to park ($25 on weekends)

I'm pretty happy with my choices and the grand total comes to... $99.73. Perfect.

For my blogger friends, please share your lists on your blogs. For my non-blogger friends, I'd love to read your lists too. Shoot me a comment with how you would blow 100 bucks if you had the chance!
