Floral Friday: On Trend with Lace & Emerald

It’s Friday.  And I’m feeling flowery.  And flirty.  And lacey.  How about you?  Hot trend for spring alert:  everywhere, everything, lace.  Pantone color of the year alert:  Emerald.  My lifelong number one favorite.  Forever, always.  So, Friday fave florals, naturally, combine both together in a romantic, elegant, vintage mashup worthy of any wedding table.

Floral Friday: Candles in the Wind

We are Chicago.  It’s winter.  Brrrrrrr.  (Don’t hate us, Al Gore, but we sure do love these warmer temps and lack of snow… so much easier for floral deliveries!)  No matter what the celebration, nothing makes an entrance like flickering, warm, wonderful lanterns.

TRAVEL THURSDAY: London Town

One short year ago… this was me.  On a plane to London, my nine year old daughter by my side, off to celebrate the Royal Wedding, girly girl weekend style.  And this was our view – for three, thrilling, tea party filled days – pretty petit fours – almost too pretty to nibble.
