Big News!

I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends. Mine was particularly wonderful this year as there was some big news - I am engaged! 

*Post engagement with my fake ring while en route to celebrate with our parents (and grab the real ring!)

It has been a whirlwind of a week - I am trying to remain calm, but the planner in me has not been able to sit still! Luckily my (amazing!) fiancé is also excited about the planning process and very patient! Let the tear sheeting begin...

Fawning over the Fannings

The photos of the Fanning sisters in the current issue of W Magazine are absolutely stunning. I admit that for awhile I thought they were one and the same person, but at 13 and 17 years old Elle and Dakota are are the new sister act taking over!

They both had their first movie roles in I Am Sam - Elle as baby Dakota while Dakota starred opposite Sean Penn - and share another common starring role these days as models in Marc Jacobs' ad campaigns. Must be nice!

Look out Olsens...

Emilia Ceramics

I stumbled upon Emilia Ceramics in Elle Decor and love the modern take on a classic: ceramics. Each piece is handmade and painted individually - making each one unique. I am drawn to the bold colors, chevron, stripe, and floral prints. 

Even the non-cream and sugar folks will want to scoop us this frog set. 

My favorite pieces of all are the lamps - such fun accent lamps for a console or desk.

A great one to keep in mind for hostess gifts or gifts for yourself!
