Ban.do Launches New Black Label

Super duper excited to announce that the always fun, colorful and whimsical Ban.do have launched their black label today! As the name suggests, it is their more upscale and couture line, featuring one-of-a-kind, but still youthful pieces. And man, do I wish it was released 5 years earlier! I would have loved to have this selection of headpieces for my wedding attire, so brides: perk up those antenna! You are all going to go absolutely ga-ga over these beauties for your big day and all the festivities leading up to it!

Here are some of my personal favorites that I would have rocked with my beautiful Monique Lhuillier gown (wasn’t she lovely??):

l to r: over dressed; love struck; crystal punch; up to no good
Feel free to browse the rest of the gorgeous collection here.

It’s a nice day for a…wet wedding!

I hope you all had a really great long weekend – I definitely did! I was the maid of honor (please don’t call me a matron) in one of my closest friends’ wedding at the beautiful Addison in Boca Raton. I had a great time laughing uncontrollably at ridiculous google searches, watching hilarious youtube videos and singing Disney songs as we got ready for the big day. Although the day turned rainy right before the event was slated to begin, everything worked out fabulously. My friends looked so happy, we were with so many special people and there was so much love in the air. I hope it was everything she ever imagined and more!


Our bouquets were made of paper! Amazing, right?

It’s hard to believe this was snapped 3 years ago.

Three years ago, I woke up feeling happy, excited and anxious. But mostly so incredibly lucky to have found someone I could call not only my lover, but also my best friend. Someone I could trust with all my deepest, darkest secrets. Someone that loved me for who I truly am, not who I’m supposed to be. Someone that understood me better than my own flesh and blood. Someone that made me realize that love is real, and sometimes it hurts and knocks us down, but it is the one thing in life worth living for.

Agustin Sanchez, thank you for coming into my life and for making me the happiest girl in the world.
Me and you, just us two. <3

Lovable Friday!

1. Tim Burton's Installment at the MoMA

Is it now considered cliche to love Tim Burton? How Hot Topic of me. I am, as always, envious of all New York City residents because now they can see this exhibit at the MoMA until April of 2010. The exhibit includes props from his movies, sketches and amazing designs from one of the most creative minds in Hollywood (in my opinion anyways). I’ve begged the hubs to take me on a weekend trip to NYC just so I can hit up this event. Anyone that has gone or is going, please feel me in so I can live vicariously through you!
