Looooong Weekend

I hope everyone enjoyed a lovely long weekend with great weather and friends!  I had a fabulous weekend which started out with a big surprise--a new nephew came a month early.  We were all so happy that he is healthy and strong, and I got to visit him everyday in the hospital.

 I tried the new coconut frappuccino from Sbux.  Really really really good.

The bf and I did a lot of shopping.  A lot.

 

Of course no good holiday weekend doesn't include fab food.  A crabcake benedict was the perfect way to start the day on Sunday at brunch.

What did you do?

Two of my Favorites

All of my friends know how much I adore adore adore Oprah (or Opie, as I fondly call her).  Her show with Ralph Lauren made me yearn to spend a long weekend somewhere as luxurious as the Double RL Ranch.  The Colorado ranch was absolutely breathtaking, and these are the only teepees I could imagine spending the night in. ;)

I thought the biggest surprise may have been when Ralph said their family gets a discount on clothes, but since it's a public company, no free clothes.

I can't wait to see the wedding dress Ralph designed for his daughter Dylan when she gets married in June.

Are you a Ralph Lauren fan?  What do you think of the ranch?

Pink & Green Graduation

 Today's Pink & Green Thursday is in celebration of everyone beginning a new chapter as they graduate this year.

 

Cheers to all 2011 graduates!  May your celebrations be even more memorable than our favorite fictional characters'.

Congratulations!

Cleaning With Reckless Abandon

This weekend is graduation, which means that my family will be coming to see my place for the first time since I moved here.  I've been cleaning like a crazy woman.  Let's laugh along with Anne Taintor and these other lovely images for Daphne's Semi-Worldless Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday!

Cheers to Kori!

Can't wait to start Kori's new book, Murder on the Boulevard, this weekend!

Everyone must know I adore closets. . .

So I thought it would be great inspiration for today's Pink & Green Thursday with Trish!

Anyone else as obsessed with gorgeous closets as I am?  (Feel free to check out posts here, here, here, and of course here for further proof of this obsession.)
