Fab Frock Friday: Valentino FW 2014 RTW

Valentino's FW 2014 ready-to-wear collection was full of the most ethereal, otherworldly dresses, embellished with exquisite embroidery, pretty prints, and shimmery beadwork. Beautifully detailed birds and butterflies bedeck a few of the dresses, while animals and dark florals played across other frocks. Capes suitable for a fairytale lass topped some of the looks, adding a cozy element. My favourite was a pale grey sheer gown, with frosty-looking leaves, perfect for a winter goddess. As I sit here, donning a sweater for the first time this autumn, I'm happily slipping into a cool mood, while gazing upon this beautiful collection.

Wedding Wednesday | Happy News!

I've really been missing doing Wedding Wednesday posts, since I absolutely love all things wedding-related, especially the pretty stuff, of course. With the baby and all, I've been super busy, as you know. But, today, I just had to make time to do a post, because I have the happiest of news to share with you... I'm engaged!

Glen popped the question on New Year's Eve. He got down on one knee, pulled a ring out of his pocket--the whole dream-come-true! I couldn't be happier.

So, now we have a bit of planning to do. Luckily, thanks to my obsession with lovely wedding things, I already have envisioned my dream wedding (what gal hasn't?). Making that dream a reality, on a very very small scale and budget, is what I'm aiming for. I'll definitely be sharing my favourite wedding images and ideas with you soon. Stay tuned!
