It’s no secret that I’m no whiz at doing my hair and makeup day to day. If you’re a regular reader, you see that I’m almost always wearing my hair down and straight in each post. Since high school I’ve relied on my best friend, Christina, to get me glam for nearly every special occasion including my wedding day.

Our Milford Sound Cruise Experience
As I mentioned in my last post, one of my favorite parts of our honeymoon in New Zealand was our Milford Sound cruise.

Bardot Dress in Bora Bora

Each of the dresses I brought for the trip were colorful and seductively chic in their own ways.…

Wedding Wednesday: Plum Pretty Sugar Dresses
As I write this, I’m coming to you from our overwater bungalow in Bora Bora at the St. Regis Resort. I’d hoped to get this post done before we left. But, with all the planning and prep – you know how that goes! For today’s Wedding Wednesday post I’m sharing our gorgeous Plum Pretty Sugar dresses that my bridesmaids and I wore while getting ready.
