Happy Monday.. Happy President’s Day or Happy Family Day depending on where you are!!! We are looking at the Rosa Clará 2012 Spring Bridal Gown Collection. I must say I went through one gorgeous dress after another.. it was literally impossible to choose a few favourites. MAKE SURE you go scout the collection cause your favourite may not even be in the ones I have chosen. You can check there website for the collection ! Not only do they have gorgeous gowns but they really captured the spring season. They have dresses with light jackets or sleeves that accommodate the warming but still slightly cool spring season! They also added some pastel coloured gowns that despite being pink and blue still look like wedding gowns and don’t have that bridesmaid feel you often get when colours involved (although we here love colour!). Exquisite detailing in this collection, unique fabrics and the lace patterns are to die for! Our FavouriteS this week emphasizing the S lol.. Are the Bahamas, ...

Happy Friday.. and a happy soon to be Valentine’s Day to you. Even if you believe Valentine’s Day is a so-to-speak “hallmark” holiday I think the idea of a day devoted to romance is divine.. I think incorporating romance into your everyday lives (not just with your significant other but also with family and friends) makes for one happy lifestyle.. lol! So we are doing a Valentine’s Day inspiration blog, but we are including the winter wonderland I’m seeing outside my window. Since it can’t be avoided – the snow I mean – it’s best to embrace it. So.. why not have all white with a hint of pink. Sort of like drinking a warm hot cocoa on a bright winter day.. that little flutter of warmth when all you see is the cold white. A hint of pink.. and nothing is more fitting then blushing for Valentine’s Day! I hope you enjoy or Winter Inspiration blog for Valentines. As always, photo credits are below! Until Next Time….
