make it count.

Besides seeing the look on the recipients face, getting a warm and fuzzy feeling in my heart and making someone smile, my favorite part of giving someone a gift is the wrapping.

spring awakening

The New York weather god's have been teasing us for the last few weeks.  Just when we thought winter was over it snows and rains for three days straight....Sigh.   Luckily, I know Spring will be here soon enough and I finally put away my drab colorless winter wardrobe (that I am totally sick of) and trade it for a colorful, flowery, wonderful Spring wardrobe.   I Can't wait to frolic (yes I am that desperate for Spring that I used the word frolic) through Central Park in my girly dresses and dare I say open-toe shoes! Yes, that will be the life.....Obviously, I have been wearing black for too long.

rompers, bows, and tulle. oh, my!

Swoon! Every so often you find that Etsy shop that is so perfect- it's like it was made for you.   That's the feeling I got today when I happily stumbled across Alexandra Grecco.  I can honestly say I'm in love with this shop which is filled with wonderfully girly pieces that should be in my wardrobe.  I know there are a lot of pictures- but how I could possibly narrow it down anymore then this?
