I. WANT. ONE.
Partially because its Tiffany. Partially because its unique. Partially because its Tiffany. Partially because they are Exclusive. Did I mention its Tiffany?
So here’s the deal…the Tiffany Key Pendants (to my knowlege) are only available to select Tiffany Stores. You can’t even find them on the website (at least I couldn’t). BUT, one of the select stores is our very own Tiffany & Co at the Fashion Valley Mall. Hurry before their all gone! And pick one up for me while you’re at it 
Cheers!

The Ballet flat trend has ridden its wave and is on the way out. I was never really a fan. I LOVE the aesthetic of a proper ballet shoe but ballet flats never hit that note for me. And then…I was going through the March 2009 issue of Elle Magazine and was re-inspired by these photos from their “Through the Looking Glass” spread.

I just fell in love with the shoes! And while real pointe ballet slippers are not intended to be worn as “casual” footwear I could not help but covet them. So I tried to find pointe style ballet flats…not easy. For some reason footwear designers have something against preserving the lovely aesthetic of the original ballet shoe. But, here’s what I managed to find!

The Original Pointe Shoe from Capezio…lovely but impractical for non-dance floor wear.

The Street Style Pointe Shoe from Repetto of Paris…tough to find for purchase!

LOVE these Black Leather Ballet Slippers by Alan B Schwartz!
If anyone knows where else to find a lovely street-style pair of ballet shoes, please leave a comment with the details!
Cheers!

Girl Scout Cookie time is a highly anticipated time of year… its practically its own season! And with their popularity its only natural that people begin to incorporate them in their own weddings. I loved this idea from Kelly McWilliams of Weddings by Socialites!

Its such a fun DIY idea and you can be sure that no favors will be left behind! And since it is a DIY idea you have the freedom to change it up however you like! Me….I LOVE Milano Cookies. So taking this idea and using the Milano cookies would be a little more me!
Thanks for such a fab idea, Kelly!
Cheers!

Often overshadowed by Cherry Blossoms, Peach Blossoms are equally lovely and fragrant! And today is the unofficial Peach Blossom Day so in honor of that here is this week’s fab find!

Once upon a time matchbooks were one of the standard wedding favors. You would get them in a primary color and have gold or silver foil type embossed along with a design of wedding bells. Those days are gone (and thank goodness!) and the matchbook’s chic and modern cousin is taking center stage. Let me introduce you to the Matchbox!

Now, as a non-smoker the need for matches is not always immediate. But I should tell you that whenever I need to light a candle, what do I look for….matches!
