The other day, a few of my friends asked me what I was doing for Ruby's 1st Birthday Party. "First birthday?" I said. "She just turned six months, I can barely wrap my head around next month let alone six months from now." While I still have no idea what her party will entail, I can tell you that these utensils by Sucre would seem pretty perfect for it. Heck, I kind of want to eat with these utensils tonight for dinner! — Joy

Last week, Lindsey & Jonathan's gorgeous wedding was featured over at Style Me Pretty. Not only was the wedding amazing, but extra fun for me because I know Lindsey from my time in Philly when I freelanced for Urban Outfitters, and she was a buyer there. Before her wedding, we reconnected over email and I congratulated her on her recent engagement, and she had the best response ever... "Joy, this guy changed my life!" So, I'm so happy to share this little video that the guy who changed Lindsey's life {and now husband} made of their engagement. The flip books were given out at their wedding and this captures the actual proposal! Congrats guys! — Joy
You might remember when Joy attended the launch of the BHLDN back in February. Well, this time she sent me to see the new Fall collection in New York, and it was charming to say the least! The new collection was full of delicate beading, flattering silhouettes and feathers galore. That pink fluffy shrug captured my attention immediately!
It was also so fun to experience the night with a group of awesome bloggers. And might I add, they were passing around the best mini bites! I ate about 60 tiny tacos.
Stay tuned, the new BHLDN pieces launch come fall!
