Peplum Is Back

Peplum is the vintage comeback kid of 2012! The feminine silhoutte was featured in many Spring/Summer/Fall 2012 fashion shows (Jason Wu, Givenchy, Bottega Veneta, Gucci, and more) and is making its way to a store near you. I think it's a wonderful style since it helps pull in the waist and excentuates the hips. Women of all shapes and sizes can pull off the peplum look because it flatters the right curves and hides the unwanted. If you wear it right, meaning well fitted, correct amout of fabric and right placement of the peplum, you'll look like a million bucks. However, if you wear a peplum silhoutte that's ill-fitted, too heavy in fabric, or the peplum is oddly placed, it's a no-no.

Audrey's First Birthday

I typically don't post about family events such as birthdays but Audrey's was a special occasion. Plus, look at that face! How could I not write about her and her special day?

She was born on March 5, 2011 at 3:39 am. Audrey is my niece and soon I'll be her Godmother; very honored. She is the only child in our family so naturally this little girl is the apple of the family's eye and get lots of loving and attention. Here are just a few photos of her special day on Sunday.

Sweet birthday girl

Look at that smile!

Bicycle Wishlist

Can I tell you a secret? Promise you won't tell? Pinky square! Okay, I don't know how to ride a bike. However, my plan is that it won't be the case forever! You can read here about my idea to change it all. Until I get my bike, I've been daydreaming what it'll be like to be able to go out on a nice weekend leisure ride around a park or beach town, especially in the spring and summertime. I can't wait to put on a cute sundress, my sexy helmet (got to protect my head), and hop on a cute bike, with a basket, and just enjoy the outdoors. My ultimate dream is to have one of those cute vintage bicycles, maybe in pink, yellow, aqua, or white!
