I got home last night from Palm Springs, and I would say the weekend was quite the success:

1. I did not melt (it came very close).
2. My fiance survived his bachelor party in the middle of nowhere.

And now I am off to NYC this morning for Blogfest!  Last year, I tried to make an appearance but my cancelled flight got in the way. I am crossing every finger and toe that this silly NATO summit doesn’t get in my way this year!

I cannot wait to see my roomie Christine and meet all of the fabulous bloggers that I feel like I know, but have never really met! It is going to be an amazing couple of days.

Hi all, I am Alex from Things That Sparkle and I am so excited to be here today subbing in Victoria while she is away on vacation!

One of my favorite features on my own blog is “obsessions of the week”. While Pinterest infiltrates every corner of my existence, it leaves me wanting to go shopping, start cooking and go on vacation everyday! So I started this series to share my newest loves

1. Leontine Linens and all of their beautiful bedding

2. Brown, luggagey leather. On my arm, in my home or on my boy. Love it everywhere.

3. Summer. There is nothing better than spending every free minute at the beach or on the lake 

4. JCrew’s new line of bathing suits. Perfect for summer and my honeymoon!

  (suit 1, suit 2 and suit 3)

5. Purple has long been my least favorite color, but I absolutely love this lavender bedroom. So feminine and soft.
