What's Not To Love About Rashida Jones?

Oh how I love Rashida Jones...let me count the ways! I didn't really know who she was before I saw her portray Karen Filippelli on The Office (which I also love) but now that I know about her....I am very excited! I was thrilled when I saw that she made a movie with Paul Rudd and Jason Segal, I haven't seen it yet but I Love you Man looks quite promising.I am also intrigued to see the comical combination of her and Amy Poehler in the new NBC comedy Parks and Recreation with premieres Thursday, April 10th.The girl has chops! What's Not to Love??

"You Can Wear it Again" ....but please don't

I have found the best darn book to include with bridesmaid's gifts! It's a book by Meg Mateo Ilasco called "You Can Wear it Again". It's a celebration of bridesmaid's dresses (and the loyal friends who have worn them). Page after page of embarassing fashion trends from over the decades. Your bridesmaids will be singing your praises when they look through this book for not making them wear some of the glitter drenched, poofy, seafoam, or gold lamay dresses spread out before them.Anyone else getting glimpses from the movie 27 dresses? Anyhow.....cute book!!

Invitations for retro-modern bridal shower!

These are the invitations for the retro-modern bridal shower that I am currently planning. I ordered them from myexpression.com and then printed the information myself. It was these invitations that inspired the whole theme of this shower for me (along with the spring collection at target with damask print and flowers)I love how the colors give you the retro feeling yet the shapes and lines are very modern. Hance the RETRO-MODERN bridal shower! Will Post party pics when I have them!!

Ideas for a Little Mermaid Soiree!

The pictures below are of a party that Natalie Robles (Little Shindigs) did for a little girls 6th birthday!The tiny under the sea princess's started off with Mermaid makeovers, they applied body glitter, lip gloss , and adorned themselves in mermaid tails and Little Mermaid tank tops. They also went swimming in the pool, and dined around an adorable mermaid table-scape fit for a mermaid queen! Ariel sat in the center of the table amidst a sea of turquoise fabric , blowing bubbles to supply that under the sea atmosphere. Gorgeous party! Big thanks to Natalie at Little Shindigs!
