Savor Summer With A Labor Day Backyard Bash


As much as I hate to face it, Summer is about to come to an unofficial close.  New beginnings are always exciting but endings of anything make me a bit sad.  Let's enjoy the long weekend with one last Summer fling in our own backyard. So call your friends and family, fire up the grill, and get inspired! Before you press the send button on Summer, celebrate one more time.

Steak for a Brooklyn Barbecue
I selected this recipe not only for how perfect it looks, but for the rub that is used. Then the finishing touch is a sprinkle of fresh mint.  I have never used mint on steak. Sounds interesting!

Wedding Wednesday: A Pretty Pink Palette

(Via Alexandra Nea)

Inspiration for today comes from a VIP to "Mr. Shop This," Megan S.  I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Megan yet, but she was engaged to be married over the weekend. I hear the girl LOVES the color pink! Much happiness to you, Megan. This post is for you! (and my lovely Emily.) 






Kelly Faetanini
If you love pink, but are too traditional to wear it on your own special day, this could be your answer. The ombre pink coloring is just so spectacular in a quiet way.
Kelly Faetanini


Ombre Bouquet
A bouquet with the same ombre effect of the gown above.  Soft and beautiful!
Wed Luxe


Nicki Macfarlane
Bespoke Flower Girl Dresses
You will find some of the most exquisite dresses anywhere at Nicki Macfarlane. This Mother and Daughter team designed the flower girl gowns of Princess Kate and Prince William's wedding.

Pearls and Pink
The tabletop is your number #1 place to show your true colors. A dinner menu is a nice touch.
Colin Cowie Weddings


Ombre Pink Wedding Cake
Elegant and sweet - this is a special cake!
Nordstrom's Wedding Blog


Watters Ahsan Tulle Skirt And Corset
Talk about a blushing bride! The veil is just ethereal.
Nordstrom's


Origami Wedding Petals
It's all about the details at your wedding or any party you host.  These pretty paper petals have been handcrafted and are 2" point to point. They will carry out your pink theme on the cake table, sprinkled on tables or even glued to place and table cards. 
Provisions at Food 52


Michael Kors
This is how to dress the groom or groomsmen in pink! Love the sleek sheen of the Kors tie. Also available in five other hot hues.
Nordstrom's


Reem Acra Resort 2015
If you have an unlimited budget for bridesmaids dresses, this is a bright and chic choice. Or the price point might be suitable for the Mother Of The Bride. Divine!
Reem Acra


Cotton Candy Cocktail
Greet your guests with a pink champagne toast. A fun signature drink that also sets the color theme of the reception. Love this!
Intimate Weddings


Aire Barcelona Bridesmaids
This pink is just so lively. Dressing your maids in the same color of different styles is just a sophisticated idea. Each maid then can feel her best in the style that fits her personality and shape.
Aire Barcelona


Ron Ben Israel Cake
This is by far one of my favorite wedding cakes I have ever seen. It's so elegant, unique and romantic! And hopefully, there is chocolate cake under that fondant.
Colin Cowie Weddings


Pink And Black Bouquet
I have always loved pink and black paired together. The touch of sparkle makes this bouquet special.
