state fair collection.

A collection of originally designed dresses and prints.

sneak peek!

propping.

So the big photoshoot was today! The dresses are done and the girls looked absolutely precious! It was a wonderful day...My lil sis was in town and we were getting ready and running errands getting ready. Of course one of our stops was at Michael's to see if Martha had anything to add... and of course she did. If anyone is having a party or just wants to do something fun and happy, go get Martha's tissue paper pom pom kit! They were amazing and added so much to our shoot!

a great 22nd.

April 15th was a wonderful day for me..
lots of Back in the Day cupcakes..

the sartorialist.

If you don't visit here regularly, you should! The Sartorialist captures quite the fashionistas all over the globe..Paris, Milan, Florence, New York...I am inspired by these characters faces and their ability to ooze chic-ness...I want to ooze chicness like Louise at the Louvre.

cherry blossom girl.

I listed some new blogs I've been visiting under "Other Bloggers
!" and one of them is The Cherry Blossom Girl. I'm not quite sure who this girl is and what her blog about, but I do know that she lives in Paris, wears amazing clothes, and has time to prance around the city and take some pretty fabulous pictures! Here is a taste but take a peek and click around her blog here!
