....love this color combination for an early spring day wedding.. so soft, fresh and serene!!! The Tablescape is so simple & chic, with sky-blue fabric that doubled as table runner and place mats... and dahlias centerpieces. In each table a welcome cheese platter with cute name tags compliments the decor... while a light-blue parchment wrapped mini-baguette was used for the name tag... how cute? It's really about keeping the color palette in the details....from the dessert table to candies to the invitations, etc... that creates a stunning event! Some powder blue fabulous shoes and some champagne jewelry would would add a glam touch to your look!

Fashion Inspiration: Badgley Mischka S/S 2011 Rumer Willis

<span class=
<span class=
.... Rumer Willis is looking fabulous on these to-die-for dresses in soft pink..!! Loove the first dress... so feminine.... and the gold accessories in both pictures give some sophistication to the looks!!

Did you watch the Oscar's last night? If you where to attend the Award ceremony... what dress would you have worn? I personally liked the Elie Saab soft lilac dress that Mila Kunis wore and loove the Calvin Klein dress and Gold Michael Kors dress from Gweneth Paltrow.

Love the eclectic vibe of Jessica Stam's NY apartment... from the hand-carved Moroccan sliding doors that leads into into her bedroom.... to the black-and-white tableau she found from the 1960s against a wall of mirrors... to the fabulous light mint velvet sofa...!! What is quite surprising to find in a NY apartment is so much light... !! Another plus... the high ceiling and the dark wood floor.....fabulous!!

In her own words, Stam is “always redecorating” .....“My apartment will never be done,” she says.

New Hair Color!


....I've read some time ago that there is really no hair color trend for 2011 but rather changing color is the new thing to do!!! And out of the blue, and not really triggered from this article, I walked into Target yesterday and decided right there that it was time for a change... so I went home and got busy... 30minutes later.... gone where the bright blond highlights... and Hello Light Golden Brown..!!! My husband got back from a trip last night... and was happily surprised...!! Truth be told, I actually felt more sophisticated this morning...!! Will see how long it last... but for now I love it!!!

Now you know I have to ask, if you where to change your hair color... what color would you choose?? Read More......
