Ollie

Guess what!! Dave and I are proud new parents of an 8 week old black and tan hound. He is a feisty little guy who is just now getting comfortable with his surroundings. We brought him home on Saint Patrick's Day and he has certainly kept us on our toes these past few days (and nights).

Currently, Ollie enjoys: 
-jumping on the pinestraw
-running through the yard
-chasing Dave's heels
-biting our hands
-eating leaves
-playing with the neighborhood chihuahua (Rufus)
-and SLEEPING wherever he decides to collapse!

Weddings, etc.

For those of you who are engaged or who love all thing wedding, you probably saw the advertisements for The Bridal Market. The Bridal Market is "A Runway Event" that took place a few weeks ago. This year brides were able to catch a glimpse of the hottest trends in wedding fashion with an on-going, New York-style fashion show production!


Ivory and White asked if I would be interested in modeling for their store in the fashion show! I must admit, I adore Ivory and White. The gowns are stunning, the decor is soothing and the service is absolutely amazing!  Armed with my 4 inch heels, I made my way to the precious boutique. There were five gorgeous gowns lined up in the dressing room for me to try on....I thought I was in heaven! Most of the dresses fit like a glove and they happen to be created by my good friend, Vera....Vera Wang, that is. Here are a few snapshots of me in the dressing room.






The Bridal Market day has arrived and before stepping foot on the runway I was backstage with a hairstylist and makeup artist  simultaneously working on me---it was wonderful! Ahhh, the life. Now the runway music was pumping and it was showtime! I could feel the excitement of the audience as I was handed a bouquet and stepped onto the walkway. Ready...Set....Strut!

I was such a great experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat!
