Weddings Weddings Weddings!

I'll start this post by saying I probably shouldn't be posting it. Only because C will definitely read it and he will definitely think I'm trying to hint at something. Well, I'm not! This has just been on my mind lately, that's all!! Here it goes:

Reading about all my bloggy friends' engagements, weddings, and marriages lately is giving me absolute MARRIAGE CRAZE. I can't stop thinking about all things wedding! I'm even feeling a bit of jealousy over all the fun wedding plans and marriage-related activities I've been hearing about from all of you. I feel myself drawn to all these weddings posts everyone is sharing, saying, I wish that were me!!! I sound like one of those girls who keeps a box under her bed with pictures of her future wedding ring and dress...oh wait, I SO AM THAT GIRL.

But there is a time and place for everything, I know I know. I'm not looking to get married tomorrow. But let's just say I can't wait for it to happen :)

On that note, I hope you all have a FAB weekend!!!!

Mariposa on RueLaLa!


I know I talk about RueLaLa like it's my job, but this boutique is definitely not one to miss!!! Mariposa has stunning housewares for great prices at RueLaLa right now. If you aren't familiar with Mariposa, they're based out of Cape Ann, Massachusetts which is close to Gloucester. I am pretty sure the flagship store is in Manchester By The Sea (cool name for a town huh?) and the nautical influence is definitely apparent in some of their designs. You may not be able to find an entire collection on RueLaLa, but it would be so worth it to get a few pieces at discount prices.

They have this fabulous of Pink and Green Canapé Plates, Just $25.00 for a set of 4, marked down from $48.00!



They also have the same plates in a nautical theme, also just $25.00 a set:



Better get over there fast because this boutique is only open for two days and things are selling out!

In Good Company Paper Design

These have to be the most fabulous gift labels I have ever seen. The design is just PERFECT. I usually only use gift labels at Christmas, but I could definitely make an exception and start using them for birthday gifts as well. At just $6 for a box of 18 labels, you just can't go wrong.



These labels and other In Good Company paper goodies can be found at The Preppy Princess!

And be sure to keep your eyes peeled for a giveaway straight from the Preppy Princess coming up very shortly......Eeeee I can hardly contain my excitement!!!!!

PS- C and I are moving in together in exactly two weeks!!!! Yayyyyyy

I Bought a CrackBerry!!!



I finally buckled and got a Blackberry! EVERYONE I know has one and I just felt it was time to embrace the blackberry lifestyle. The other night we were all at The Abbey for wings when someone commented that I was literally the only person at the table without a blackberry. Well, that just wasn't flying with me any longer.

So I bought the Blackberry Curve 8330. I'm excited to finally have applications on my phone! Right now I have the Samsung Instinct s30, and it's an okay phone but the apps are just terrible. When the Instinct was released Sprint tried to call it the iPhone killer (something I tried to tease C about for a long time) but it's just really not as good as the iPhone. There, I finally admit it! Now of course he will tease me forever for jumping on the bandwagon. Well WHATEVER!!! I accept that I'm a trend whore.

So which accessories are a must for this lovely little piece of technology? I want a silicone skin case, obviously PINK! I don't like the light pink one so I'll try to find a deeper pink if they have it. What is the best brand for cases?? Also what are the good apps besides the very obvious Twitterberry & Facebook?

I'm ready to be taught about all things CRACKBERRY :)
