Royal Wedding Extravaganza!!!

Who is getting excited for the Royal Wedding?

ME!!

See? I even rocked this Kate Middleton inspired headband at work:
Please excuse my ridiculous face. I was trying to cheer up a friend.



I keep checking the internet for any sort of new detail. We just got the itinerary for the big day!


  • First thing in the morning on April 29th, an announcement from the Queen's office with William and Kate's new titles.
  • 8:30 am Guests arrive at Westminster Abbey
  • 10 am VIP Guests arrive (Hi Posh Spice!!!)
  • 10:40 am The Royal Family arrive with the Queen and King coming in last.
  • 11 am Kate arrives with her 5 bridesmaids! Also, at this point, a press release will announce the designer of her dress, sketches, photos, etc. The wedding ceremony starts.
  • 12:15 pm The wedding party arrive at Buckingham Palace for photos and a reception with over 600 guests. 
  • 7 pm An intimate party with dinner and dancing for 300 guests.
I wish I could go... :( Anyone got any royal family hookups?

And I am really excited to see Kate's dress! I wonder what kind of style she is going to go for? And what are her bridesmaids going to wear?

Does anyone think it is weird William isn't going to wear a ring? If my Husband told me he didn't want to wear his ring, I'd be mad! Whatev though.

Ooooh, and what do you think of Kate's ring? I believe it was Diana's so it is even more special. I think it is so beautiful and such a sweet sentiment to give her his Mom's ring.

Is anyone else excited for the royal wedding? Are you going to get up early and watch everything on tv like I am (unless I get a last minute invite. Then I'll be there in person!)? What style dress do you think Kate should wear?

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday, ya'll! :)


I'm linking up with This Kind of Love once again.

I'm loving my new cellphone case from Lily Pulitzer. Isn't it adorable? The orange flowers are actually shells and in the middle is a starfish. I love Lily!

I'm loving Clinique Cream Shadow in Sparkling Nude. It is a really pretty, neutral color. It also has a little bit of shimmer. I like to wear it underneath my powder shadows because it helps enhance the colors and keep them in place. The wand applicator also makes it really fast to apply. Oh and did I mention this was one of Oprah's Favorite Things a few years ago? I looooove Oprah!

I'm loving that the weather is getting a wee bit warmer each day. I'm tired of freezing my butt off!!!


I'm loving the band, The Civil Wars, even more after seeing them in concert. Check 'em out!
Anyone who sings some Leonard Cohen is A-OK in my book!

I'm loving American Idol. This season is hilarious with Steven Tyler... and I actually dig JLo. She isn't as diva-esque as I thought. My favorite contestants are Casey, Lauren, Pia and James. Everyone is so good each week... I don't know who is going to win! 

What are you loving? Do you love any of these things that I posted? 

Thanks for reading!!!

PS- I only need THREE more followers and I'll have my first ever giveaway! :)

Hi everyone.

I have had a little bit of writer's block lately... sorry!

Today was my weigh in and after getting really off track, I am down 9.6 lbs. Just a little bit more and I will finally hit my first goal of 10 lbs. Keep your fingers crossed for me, please.

Gus, my parent's dog, has adjusted to our household really well! He loves Bo and cuddles with the kitties too. He also loves my Husband, and is always excited when he gets home from work. My only complaint: he snores and sleeps by my head! Haha.

Did anyone see Grey's Anatomy last Thursday? It was the musical episode and I was crying by the very first song. Sara Ramirez, who plays Callie Torres, has a fabulous voice and has even been on Broadway. The only thing I didn't really like was it was hard to get too emotional with everyone singing. And Lexie Grey should never be allowed to sing "Breathe 3am" ever again.

My Husband's Birthday is Saturday and I am out of ideas for gifts.... anyone have any ideas???
