X Marks the Spot....

Talk about Ooh La La...
The Lovely Miss Clementine of Fruity Girl has magically pulled together one of the chicest ensembles I have seen in a very very long time!!
Oooh... those French ladies sure know mix it up right!!

Apparently I am not the only one who was inspired from her March post! J.Crew has (ahem) recently become transfixed on the Polka Dot and coincidentally Miss Clementine's perfect shade of coral lipstick.

Soooo..
I pulled together a few finds both expensive and inexpensive...

1. Polka Dot Dress at J. Crew
2.Biker Jacket at H & M
3.Chiffon Polka Dot Dress at AX Paris
4. Lambskin Perfecto Jacket at Schott NYC

There are also some FAB jackets at Zara

I guess the most important question is...
What shoes?

Lace it up....


It's official...
We are actually having a mini heat wave here in the Northeast..
Who would have thunk it would be right smack dab in the middle of June!!
You know it's really hot when the Tall One has "allowed" me to turn on the a.c.

That being so.....
When I saw this gorgeously fabulous gown from the 2013 Resort Collection of Monique Lhuillier.
my heart and soul were on FIRE!!
It is simply to die for...
Can you EVEN imagine owning this gown?!!
If there was ever a dress that could sum me up..this would be it!!
Vintage, modern, handmade, textural, classically cut and wonderfully colorful!

 A girl can dream..

But maybe..just maybe...
I might just find a little lacey number to soothe the soul..

A touch of Audrey.....


Rarely do I ever peruse the women's side of Boden....
Sadly, this Mom is always checking out the Mini side for the Monster. 

So..when I got this little ole email from them...
I decided..what the heck..why not check it out..

What I found was.....
a little Audrey, a little vintage and a whole lot of ladylike...

I am loving this little Golden cocktail number called the Audrey Dress (how perfect!)which just so happens to be on SALE (only until today, so hurry!)

But If you're not a Golden Girl, they offer it in a fab classic navy!

Now if only I could figure out that amazing pony, I would be good to go this holiday season!!

Something Old, Something New....

The Tall One and I have been talking for years about getting married again....
Not renewing...remarrying...
We are very different people now....
I'd like to think wiser and happier...
So why not have a REAL wedding instead of a renewal??

Ideas have flown back and forth, up and down, in and out..
Back yard..Italy...Back yard..
Italy!!

It wasn't until I was doing my daily Etsy persuing that our wonderful dream popped back into my head.
There she was...lovely, lacey and OH so fabulous!!
If only I could fit into this little number I would scoop it up and whisk him away to Italy on the next flight!
So for right now, I am completely content and overjoyed to watch as the lovely Miss Lena (my tried and true follower AND commenter!!) from La Petite Coquin  and her just happened last weekend fiance, Jon,
start planning for their big day..Now if you love weddings and all things lovely I would immediately hop, skip and jump on over....I am dying to know what specialty cocktail they will be choosing, what will be gracing her toes (peep toes I am guessing) and  what fabulous music will be playing...

Ohhh the world is your oyster, Lena & Jon..
Enjoy the adventure and be sure to laugh and smile EVERY day!!
