Fashion Fridays: Novel Release Party!

**

Happy Friday, sweets!

I'm so excited to be closing out the week on such an exciting note!

As you've heard this week, Kori from Blonde Episodes has recently completed a huge project that is going to completely change her life! I'm happy to announce that her novel Murder on the Boulevard (how chic!) is being released today! Yay!

I simply couldn't be happier for her, and I know so many of you feel the same! Daphne and I are hosting the linkup today for all of you to spread the word about Kori's exciting news!

Just grab the button above and add it to your post today! I know Kori would just love for you to join us!

I imagine the lady below being a brunette version of Kori's main character, Bobbi, a gorgeous woman on the search for her prince charming, with a few surprises along the way! (And, of course, a little bubbly thrown in! This is a party, after all!)

I'm just bursting with happiness for you, Kori! Many cheers to you, honey!

Everyone, link up below with your 'Congratulations!' posts for our dear girl and published author. Also you can purchase the Ebook version here, but we have to wait just a little while longer for the paperback ;)

(PS: You can also find me spreading some sunshine over at The Alternative Wife today. Please visit me there too!)

Happy weekend to each of you!

Novel Release Party, Please Join Us!

Hi, darlings!

Just a quick reminder about the blog party tomorrow for Kori's novel release! 

Daphne and I are hosting the linkup, and I will post it first thing in the morning (here's hoping I set it up correctly)! We're calling it a 'Novel Release Party' if you're wondering the wording you should use in your post. You can devote an entire post to our lady or just include the button as part of your post. You decide! Just as long as you bring the love, that's all we care about!

I do hope that you're planning on joining us. This is such an exciting time for Kori, and I know how much she would appreciate all the support and love from the blog community.

See you here tomorrow!

Wednesday Roundup + Awards

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

I feel like since going on vacation last week that I've completely fallen behind in keeping up everything. Don't you just hate that feeling?! So, today I decided to do a round up post and try to get everything back in order. Here's hoping it actually works!

First of all, I have two awards to pass along to some very deserving ladies. These are long, long overdue and I do hope that you'll be gracious enough to accept them and pass them on in a much more timely manner ;)

The first award I want to bestow is the Stylish Blogger award, given to me by Lavender & Lilies and The Pink Zebra. Thank you ladies so, so much!

Tatiana at Love, Life, Lace

Poppy at Project Gadabout

Lindsey at Be Pretty

Mal & Criss

Casie at Whipped Style

The Ooh La Frou Frou Girls

The second award came from my sweet Kori at Blonde Episodes. She creates the most lovely awards and this is one she gave me a while back. I'm passing it on to some new (to me) blogs that I'm completely smitten with!

Alison at Long Distance Loving

Lauren at Midwestern Chic

Patterson at Pretty Stuff

2. Blog of the Week

Atlantic-Pacific is a fabulous fashion blog that I discovered thanks to my friend Caitlin. Blair has the most fantastic sense of style and will inspire your everyday looks with the first click over to her blog. She's so stylish, in fact, that Miss Inslee just created a beautiful series of drawings inspired by her unique style (seen above).
Cheers to you Miss Blair! xo

Fashion Fridays: Preppy, Playful, Pretty

Happy Friday, darlings!

I'm linking up again today with my friend Kori for her new series Fashion Fridays- I hope you'll consider joining us! What's not to love about a fashion-themed blog hop featuring fantastic bloggers?

**

I came across this amazing Gossip Girl style guide a few days ago and just knew that I had to feature it on the blog. Since we kicked off the week with a little GG excitement, it seems perfectly fitting to close out the week on the same note! Eric Daman, the styling genius behind our favorite Upper East Siders, collaborated with Revolve Clothing in the fall of 2008 to create this preppy and playful style guide. 

2008, you ask? Why, yes! In my opinion, these looks are classic, fun, and playful, and I'm perfectly content with them being "so last season."

Be inspired, loves!

I love everything about this collection of styles, don't you?! Click on over and read through the captions Eric wrote for each look, they certainly add to the Gossip Girl inspiration!

Happy Easter weekend, dear friends!
