Summer Fun

At long last summer is officially here and we can't wait to hit the beach. Whether you're throwing a beach party or just need a bit of beach at the office, we think you'll love the use of punchy colors this summer. Classic white tank tops and a new twist on the traditional boat shoe are enough to have us dreaming of summers spent with sand and surf.

The Royal Wedding

Portrait by Mario Testino

So, the big question is...

Will you be watching?  I so vividly remember watching Princess Diana....we had a sleepover at our house and stayed up all night!  It makes it a bit tricky that it is on a Friday - but I'll be getting the girls up early to see Kate walk down the aisle!

We thought we would share with you some of our favorite sites for all things "royal":

for fashion, we always love Tom & Lorenzo "Royal Watch"

for the royal "scoop" we've been heading to eonline (love the new portrait!) and Hello Magazine

for a comprehensive schedule of events (in BST & EDT) we're inclined to recommend the folks at newsvine.com. It gives me pre-wedding jitters just looking at that schedule!

Want to add a little "royalty" to your life? Pick up one of our Princess Crown notepads or loose note sheets in acrylic!

Fairy Tales {Part One}

I am a sucker for a good fairy tale, and with a trip to Disney World in our near future I was inspired to share this breathtaking 2005 Vogue editorial - Annie Leibovitz's take on Beauty and the Beast with Drew Barrymore.
