I Heart Monsieur Boudin

What a charming doggie! Monsieur Boudin is certainly quite the bon vivant, eating pastries and tooling around Paris on his little white moped. A good life indeed! See more of his adventures on these adorable notecards designed by Lab Partners...

Summer Dresses at DVF

'

Lots of yummy prints and flirty shapes in the sale section of my most favorite dress designer, Diane von Furstenberg...

Twigs & Honey

I can't stop dreaming about these delicately crafted silk flower creations from Twigs & Honey. Perfect to accent a wedding dress, for sure, but equally nice for adorning an everyday ensemble. Check out designer Myra Callan's Etsy shop here...

Fantasy Bedroom

This is an actual child's bedroom from Cookie Magazine. Is it not the dreamiest?! The color palette is lovely too with all the creamy whites and pinks, and pops of turquoise and purple...

Glossy and Glamorous

from the ever-talented Miles Redd...

Weddings on Fire

I recently came across the design and letterpress outfit Studio on Fire on Green Wedding Shoes (one of my current fave blogs) and can't help but be impressed by their inventive designs. Isn't the plaid adorable on the invite shown above and below? And the boombox-themed invite is just too cute for words....

Bold Color at Christian Dior

I adore the eye-popping colors and New Look silhouettes at Christian Dior's Fall 09 couture show...

Love this room!

I'll take all of it... the Nelson pendant lamp, zebra ottoman, curvy white lamp, and the pink and black accents!

I'm Back! + Fifi in Paris

So sorry that I disappeared for a few days without saying goodbye! I escaped to Alabama for a visit with the family, and for much engagement-celebrating! It was a wonderful time... though maybe not quite as nice as Fifi's trip to Paris. I am quite jealous of her travels! Anyway, I am so happy to be back, and can't wait to get back to posting. More to come soon...

And More Razzle Dazzle...

Remember the fabulous pink Brooklyn brownstone I featured last week? Well, here are some more images to tickle your fancy....

And a very special p.s. ... Thanks so much to all of you for your kind words and wishes of congrats on my recent engagement! It's so nice being able to share good news with my friends and readers! I promise to keep you posted on my wedding plans as they progress, and I'm sure some of my ideas will show up here...

More Stripes and Florals...

Loving these ladylike florals and graphics (and the red lipstick!) from Kate Spade...

Happy Friday + Happy News!

Here's hoping you are all looking forward to a great weekend. I certainly am, because I'll be celebrating my ENGAGEMENT (!!) to my fantastic and amazing fella Kevin!

I've never been so happy, and it's because of the wonderful man I get to look forward to marrying and sharing a life with. He's the smartest, funniest, handsomest, most talented and totally awesome person I've ever known, and I truly feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I love you so much, Kevin! You are my one and only and forever Monkey Pie.

Happy weekend to you all!
