Beachy Keen…
Happy May! In honor of the first day of May here is a beachy post to put you in a sunshiney-it’s almost summer kind of mood! I love all these different ways to make beach…chic. Ecspecially, using conch shells as flower pots, white lounge couches right on the beach, and sandollar accented invites…genius!

Still Talking About That Dress…
It was just a year ago that 23 million Americans tuned in to watch Kate Middleton and Prince William say their I do’s.

Take a look at our Pippa inspired bridal and bridesmaid styles, as well as some JLM styles if you loved Kate’s two looks!
