Cinderella Inspired Birthday Party

I have had an obsession with Cinderella since forever!  I was so excited when I saw this post on Hostess with the Mostess. I would have loved this adorable birthday party; I secretly wish I could still have one like this!  Andrea from Dolce Drive put this amazing party together for her daughter, Sabrina's Birthday.  What a lucky little girl!

You can find the awesome paper products on Dolce Drive Shop on Etsy.

I love all of the perfect little details, especially the beautiful pumpkin carriage below with Sabirna's initial.

This cake from My Sweet Lady is perfect along with the awesome cookies from Allyson Jane and Sweet Dough and the cute little princess pops from Terri's Treaures.

Anthropologie & BHLDN Wedding Inspiration Shoot

I saw this BEAUTIFUL wedding inspiration shoot on Style Unveiled.  They had asked Heather from Estera Events to put together a tablescape inspired by Anthropologie & BHLDN and she put together this amazing shoot. It is truly gorgerous.  It is the perfect amount of color, sparkle, and vintage.  My favorite elements are the sequined table linen by Nuage Designs, the mercury glass vehicles from Fleur Chicago , and the beautiful carnations and roses by Estera Events . Check it out on Style Unveiled for even more amazing pictures and a great video of Heather and her team setting up for the photoshoot.  I am in obsession mode!

Scrabble

I am loving the trend of using Scrabble tiles as part of wedding decor.  I love playing Scrabble with Joel and I think its such a cute way to share and incorporate something you love doing together in your wedding.  Here are some of my favorite inspirational photos
. 

The first is Tammy Golson's Table at the Wedding Crashers Show at The Bell House in Brooklyn.

I found this keychain and cufflinks on Uncommon Goods. The keychain would be such a great gift from a wedding with some Scrabble details.  And the cufflinks are such a cute detail for your guy for the big day!

I saw this picture today on Simply Bloom Photography, and was so curious about these little candies.  "Champagne Drops" has got to be the cutest idea and name ever!  Champagne and candy together, seriously has got to be amazing!

So, I did a little research and found these awesome little candies, Champagne Bubbles Gumdrops from JellyBelly and Wedding Favors Now.

My 2011 Academy Awards Best Dressed List

I loved the red dresses on the red carpet especially Jennifer Lawrence in Calvin Klein and Jennifer Hudson in Versace.  And I cannot get enough of Resse Witherspoonin Armani Prive.  I love her timeless, classic style and adore everything that she wears from hanging out with her kids to red carpet events like this one.

   

And what is the Oscar’s without a little sparkle.  I loved Gwyneth Paltrow in Calvin Klein, Hailee Steinfeld in Marchesa, and Michelle Willams in Chanel Haute Couture.

But my FAVORITE dress of the night, was not on the red carpet at all. 

I love Mandy Moore in this gorgeous blue Monique Lhuillier gown. 

The dress is amazing.  Its' my favorite color and I love the detailing
