I Dream of Bridesmaids

Ok, so I'm not going to lie... I'm not even ENGAGED and I'm planning my "hypothetical" wedding. Ha! What can I say- I just love to create AND design AND DREAM! SO.. If my boyfriend and I were to get engaged and hop a plane to Vegas tomorrow- this is my vision of how my fabulous bridesmaids would look as they come dancing down the aisle of the Elvis Chapel.

Stunique Boutique!

I came across the greatest little store the other day and I just had to share! The store is called Stunique (Stunning + Boutique = Stunique!) and the have some really great finds at good price points. My absolute favorite are their delicately decorated cake and cupcake wrappers. I've never seen anything like them before! These beautiful little additions would make even BURNT cupcakes look good! Another thing I love... Monograms! Stunique.com is also a retailer for PSA Essentials stamps and embossers. I love this line! You can select from a number of different designs and create your own monogram, which is such a beautiful touch to all of your stationery. PSA Essentials stamps and embossers have been featured in magazines ranging from Real Simple, to Better Homes and Gardens, to Fit Yoga! They also have some really chic invitations and gifts.

Here are some of my favorites!
