Let Them Eat Cake: Birthday Edition

 
 
And by "them" I mean me.  Yes, this little fool is having a birthday today. I just love birthdays, and I love cake even more.

Make your own with these beautiful recipes.

Bold, Bright & Beautiful  For Spring 
 

Florals Have Bloomed For Spring:

As Amanda Priestly once said "Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking." She was right. But this season's flowers aren't your average garden variety. They are muted and modern, bold and beautiful, hand painted and haute. In other words, they are different. Which daisy will you pick?

Loving it with the dress above. But I can also imagine what it will do to your little black dress! See her fabulous bags at....
